ORNL researchers reuse hard disk drive magnets in electric motor

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have used magnets recovered from used computer hard drives in an electric motor. The permanent magnets made from rare earth elements were reused without alteration in an axial gap motor, which can be adapted for use in electric vehicles and industrial machinery.

How to Build EV Motors Without Rare Earth Elements

Cars That Think

Such a massive shift will inevitably mean far greater use of electric traction motors, nearly all of which rely on magnets that contain rare earth elements, which cause substantial environmental degradation when their ores are extracted and then processed into industrially useful forms. research on advanced motors for EVs.

Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV makes its debut along with AMG version

Green Car Congress

In the 4MATIC models, the Torque Shift function ensures intelligent, continuously variable distribution of drive torque between the rear and front electric motors and thus the use of the most efficient eATS in each case. To increase the range further, the electric motor at the front axle can be completely decoupled.
