From Wikipedia on Axial Flux Motors:
>"Mercedes-Benz subsidiary YASA (Yokeless and Segmented Armature) makes AFMs that have powered various concept (Jaguar C-X75), prototype, and racing vehicles. It was also used in the Koenigsegg Regera, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and S96GTB, Lamborghini Revuelto hybrid and the Lola-Drayson.[9] The company is investigating the potential for placing motors inside wheels, given that AFM's low mass does not excessively increase a vehicle's unsprung mass.[10] "
- hvb2 11mo agoThe fact that you CAN put it in the wheel doesn't mean it MUST to go in the wheel.
- Enginerrrd 11mo agoYes but the wikipedia article is referencing YASA, the company in the featured article.
- jama211 11mo agoThey’re investigating the potential for them to be placed inside wheels, but they aren’t at the moment, so my point stands.
