It is not what we're looking for on this site but nevertheless, I think it is about time and good news for people to know. From their site: "To improve on the basic motor design that's been used for over a hundred years and to achieve the maximum power nature would allow, several significant aspects of the electric motor would have to be literally re-invented and re-implemented in a completely different way.

After working on the problem for over a year, Jack Kerlin, Chief Scientist, at Raser Technologies achieved some very significant theoretical breakthoughs and produced a working motor that proved his new theories. The results from the performance test have caught the attention of leading engineers marking a new dawn for electric motor technology.

"Once I saw the Symetron motor, I wondered why we have relied on a clearly inferior technology for over a hundred years. This leap in electric motor technology is like going from a propeller plane to a jet aircraft."

– George Holling, PhD, EE; President, Association of International Motion Engineers, Professor Western Michigan University; Former Dean Computer Science & Engineering, Utah Valley State College,


Maximum Power & Efficiency Possible in an Electric Motor.

"Raser Technologies' breakthrough Symetron motor takes electric motor technology to its theoretical limit. This technology more efficiently harnesses one of nature's most useful forms of energy and delivers it in a low cost, lightweight electric drive system for industry, home, and electric vehicles.

This revolutionary motor technology works under a set of proprietary design innovations. Application of this technology requires a few simple changes to conventional motors, but yields significant increases in power, performance and efficiency.

This advancement may have a significant impact on the world's electric economy. It comes fortuitously when a move to zero emission and lower emission vehicles has been mandated by government, and helps relieve our dependency on foreign oil. It offers greater economy for the industrial use of electric power."
