I have a motor the size of a film canister that produces 0.5HP. It was built in 2003. I'm sure with better magnets and scaling to the size of a soup can would get it well above 5HP. The main caveat is that it spins at 20k RPM, so it would need a gearbox.

- snovv_crash 5y agoIt's a Mega ACn 16/15/4. Permanent magnet inrunner with 2200kV. Made in Czechia. Officially specced for 25A, commonly run from 4S LiPo = 14V, but the current can go higher with good cooling or in bursts.
