-Nothing in the article or video says they have actually built prototypes.
-They say it can be built without rare earth elements, but say nothing about how that affects performance. Everything else is for the magnet version and they use more magnets than is normal.
They do apparently have prototypes, but I'm still skeptical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqIKZGx-06Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqIKZGx-06Y
- corodra 7y agoIt's not a real demo though, in my opinion. If it was already in a car or used to power a lathe or something tangible, that to me is a prototype. Even a toy car is fine by me. In the video we can guess it's a prototype of a functioning motor. I guess. But let's be honest, there are prototypes for perpetual machines. A prototype has to be real world functional. Doesn't have to be perfect or clean looking, sleek, etc. Just proves it can do a real world function. If it can't do anything useless yet, it's just a lab experiment or wishful thinking.
