Superconducting Motor for Electric Car by Sumitomo
Sumitomo Electric Industries has a new prototype electric vehicle.
It is driven by a superconducting motor - the first ever of its kind.
The world will get to see one at the G8 Summit in Toyako, Hokkaido from June 19.
Sumitomo wants everyone to know that high-temperature superconductivity technology is also an option for electric motors in vehicles.
Electric motors usually have a low current and high voltage which translates into low torque. Sumitomo is proposing a superconducting coil with very high current, low voltage and fewer turns producing a higher torque.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
Don't touch the engine to see if it's warm.
