Today's motors are fundamentally similar to the electric motors designed over a century ago, and the motor manufacturing industry has seen only incremental improvement in product design over the past fifty years. |
The advent of high temperature superconductivity has created the opportunity for a quantum leap in the technology of large motors. The tremendous cost, size, weight and efficiency benefits of superconducting machines will significantly change the dynamics of the motor manufacturing industry and the motor end user market. |
|
It is estimated that the worldwide addressable market for large industrial motors is over $1.2 billion annually. HTS motors will offer an attractive economic alternative to conventional motors by virtue of their lower first (acquisition) cost and their reduced ongoing (operating) cost. Superconducting specialty motors will be particularly attractive for niche applications in which size and weight considerations come into play.
