World's Fastest Motor
A
new motor developed by researchers at ETH Zurich's Department of Power
Electronics and marketed by the Swiss company, Celeroton, can spin in excess of
1 million revolutions per minute. As
a comparison, collapsed stars spin at 60,000 rpms, a blender at about 30,000
and high performance engines at around 10,000 rpms. The
matchbook-sized motor has a titanium shell, ultra-thin wiring and a trade
secret iron formulated cylinder. The need for smaller electronic devices
requires smaller holes, which means smaller, faster, more efficient drills.
