Anytime I watch an incredibly detailed, clear, and concise science/engineering/history video on UA-cam for free, I realize just how blessed we truly are.
Shows you what a waste your college education was 😂
Love the graphical representation of the Torque vs angle graphs

Yeah, I almost understood it. Not bad for me !
I watch lots of educational videos on YT, and even then I'm always amazed by how your 3D models help explain such hard topics so easily
Simplistic explanation! Nothing can get better than this. Thank you!

What I learned from this is if you ever have a problem in life, rotate it by 45° and if that doesn’t work, try 50°. Then, profit. 👍🏼
That's what my Dad always told me.
It works
Funny. I'm a scientist/engineer, I'll use this on my colleagues.
I tried this on my girlfriend.
It worked.

Thank you for this. The modeling is superb however I wish this video was longer to really explain the cooling and how the motors work in tandem. You are missing a conclusion that wraps everything up and a chance to add more detail. I’m sure you already know all of this. Again, great video! UA-cam needs more people like you.
Great explanation, the interaction between two different magnetic fields is never easy to visualize, but this video really makes the point!
Well done! Thanks for the high quality content, gentlemen
Physics is the backbone of engineering....i love it, the lesson from the models.
Lot of things we learnt from your videos ..thanks lot to you and your team.,

This is awesome, I own a Tesla and just thought to myself I don’t even know how my motor works. Now I have a great understanding, thank you!
Motors are fascinating! I had the good fortune to work in a motor laboratory at an OEM and learn lots about them. I own a Model 3 and it definitely has a lot of torque and is fun to drive.
Thanks for some great info and animation. Even so, I'll have to watch it a few times to fully understand it.

Thank you! I drive a 2019 Toyota Prius Prime, and this video is the best explanation I've ever found on how the cars two motor/generators work. One thing the video didn't mention: there is a sensor on the rotor shaft of each of the Prius's motors, that continually and very precisely tracks the angle of the rotor around it's 360° circle. The signal from this sensor is fed to the motor control computer, which is controlling the bank of high-power MOSFET transistors in the inverter, that create the 3-phase alternating current that power the motor stator windings. As the video explains, there is an ideal phase-angle relationship between the magnetic fields in the rotor's permanent magnets, and the phase angle of the rotating magnetic fields being produced by the stator. The motor control computer continually adjusts and optimizes this phase angle, based on the signal from the rotor position sensor, and other sensors, plus the driver's demand for power given via the throttle pedal or cruise control setting. I assume that the Tesla, and other EV cars, have a similar sensor on the rotor.
I assume the other motors smear feces onto the rotor magnet to coax the wheel into turning out of sheer disgust. Note that the feces must be continually lubricated which indicates that piss or vomit could be used in addition
@@aceman0000099 tf lmao
Yes. These sensors are typically called "absolute encoders" in the business.

UA-cam engineering creators are more intelligent and knowledge than IIT professors. It's a fact. I've been to IIT to attend a few technical seminars. These professors know very little thing. They are stuck in 1970s technology. They know only the basics of new tech. Nothing of deep knowledge.
That's the kind of idiot comment that encourages requiring payment for everything going. If you strongly feel the need to pay for everything, do so quietly with a donation and keep your stupid mouth shut! My guess though is that you have zero intention of giving away money and are just posturing for likes with your comment.

This is just basic engineering things.
The visualisations in this are really great. Its particularly nice that the influence of clever control algorithms is shown as well as the basic physical setup. Second semester engineering students rejoyce.
Also I am glad to see that it was noted that this was used looooong before model 3 came about. The BMW i3 is another such example if I recall correctly.
What was missing imo was a visual representation of losses over rotor speed and load. Because the main issue of induction motors in automotive applications is their bad partial load performance which is not only dependant on speed.

This is obviously not a video for everyone....but those in the know appreciate it a lot. I have been working with Eddy currents since 1999. And in the future it seems I will keep working with them...

We've been utilizing permanent magnet rotors in motors in similar configurations for 100 years. Interesting that they are coming back around, while being tweaked for efficiency.
Ngl, I'm just dipping my toes into the water with PM's, what did we start using them for?

Yup, old news. Hyundai has used this in their hybrids since 2010 and I'm sure others have before that. I guess this video is good to show how tesla changed the motor but they kinda make it sound like tesla invented it.

Basically reduce friction between the magnetic field lines increases efficiency. All achieved by interlocking them by changing the angle.
This is the easy part. Try understanding and improving battery chemistry if you want a real challenge.

Good animation combined with great explanation gives a good understanding..thanks a lot.
Im glad I watched this and I understood EVERYTHING, my lawnmower needs a new spark plug
good one
Your lawnmower can run at full power on its tank of gasoline longer than a Tesla can run at full power. That's the truth. I'm guessing that five minutes at FULL POWER will drain the battery of a Tesla car.
xd
@@philipmiller5036 the truth is electric appliances are the most efficient things in terms of energy comversion and usage WHEN THEY ARE CORDED to grid. Thats why electric lawnmover is superb and electric cars are very inefficient. Battery blocks them and since they still need to first convert energy from grid (1/3 phase, depending on charger) to DC and then from DC to 3phase, there is not only unnecessary level of electronics that are nightmare in maintenance, but also there are a lot of losses.
Looks exactly like the large servo motors we were using on a production line back in the 1990's. They can accelerate like hell, decelerate the same and brake, and even stop at a selected position. We did not have high inertial loads on the output shaft which can create some of the issues discussed here. I don't understand why the PM 'servo' wasn't adapted sooner.
Efficiency of our batteries. Its one thing when you have a AC/DC connection to the wall or some other power supply, and another entirely when you have to count on a battery to live for multiple years of discharging quickly. It was adopted sooner, just not in the "Mass produced" automobile sector.
this video is so well explained! much thanks
Many thanks for the explanation! Regards from an electrical engineer

3"s motor uses segmented magnet ,that is good to know ,in which gap between act as fin and reduces eddy effect
That's exactly right... a simple yet effective solution which also reduces heat, increasing performance with less chance of demagnetization of the permanent magnets (your know the old adage "kill two birds with a stone").
@@BillAnt I wonder why other companies don’t do this. It’s such a simple way to take on heat but like stated in the video, Toyota doesn’t? Are there downsides to it?

Thank you for detailed explanation.
So 1960s style presentation---love it.
Just tested the model 3 overnight. This is a people's sports car with small family utility capacity. The steering is dead on, the motor and acceleration is a dream, beats any gas powered varieties hands down with ease! Completely blown away! Model 3 rules!
Totally agree. Drove a model 3 LR about four months ago and it was mind boggling. The torque and acceleration was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced! Unfortunately, I can’t afford any new car currently, but if I could, I’d be getting a Model 3 no doubt! It actually made up my mind to get a computer science degree to get into the EV field. So that’s what I’m in the process of working on now!
Now take out the governor and fly to the moon
Hats off to ur work need more of such informative vedios ❤🔥
Excellent video. Easy to understand for the interested layman. Makes me excited even more to get into the Tesla EV market.
They got some real geniuses working on this stuff.
Yep, Toyota got some smart engineers.
@@senic35 Taking away from the effort in creating your own motor and implementation and giving credit to 1 company out of many that worked on this technology...
Volvo trucks had it 2013. But not in production.
94% efficiency is still a lot more than 20% efficiency of the average internal combustion engine, not including drivetrain loss. Great video!
apples to oranges to correctly compare would need to account for the efficiency in the production and distribution of the electricity to charge the car.
You have to consider the WTW efficiency to be honest. BEV can be better than ICE but not 94% vs 20%. The electricity to recharge the battery has to be produced in some ways, if it is produced through fossil fuel the WTW efficiency is much Lower. You comparison doesn't have sense because there are different boundary conditions.
@@federe6786 you mis-understood the point of my comment. It was simply to say that the efficiencies of the electric motor cannot be compared to an IC motor at the vehicle level.
@@markhgillett sorry, there is a misunderstanding, my comment was for vortifyne (the person who commented under the video), not for you. I agree with you 👍, we were pratically saying the same thing
@@JohnSmith-uy2jg of course that 70-80% losses include heat
Amazing breakdown!
Wish you were my professor in the uni...
I AM so glad that I found this UA-cam channel
Its amazing how most of the technology used in electric vehicles, is not particularly new or groundbreaking. Most of the parts were invented long ago. It just needed someone to add some innovations for use in cars.
This " new " motor is the same I have in my skateboard, BLDC. It's been fine for years. All motors produce some back EMF and that's what's used for regeneration braking.
But anyway I want one .
thank you creator, I read document but cannot understand because foreign language, but your video is very easy to understand. Thank you very much 🥰
Damn this video is straight gold. Amazing content well explained.
One of the reasons they used induction motors in the first place is the criticality of dysprosium, a rare earth element in which China controls 90% of which is used in high performance permanent magnets. Luckily, this is changing as the US is opening a mining facility in Mountain Pass and Australia is also starting to produce.
Great to see strides made to reduce back EMF in new motor designs. I just hope they keep the moving parts at a minimum and don't go the "VVTI" route and start adding complexity and internal moving parts to it to "maximize efficiency by moving the magnets closer to the outer edge on startup and/or changing the angle relative to the reluctor slots on the fly to vary the torque". The newer internal combustion engines are getting ridiculous in that regard, increasing complexity and therefore cost while decreasing reliability, repairability and longevity. All this done to say they are whatever percent more "efficient". To me efficiency means to do more with less. K.I.S.S.
BTW, is that a passive heat pipe built-in the motor shaft at 11:40 ? Wouldn't the spinning shaft affect the flow or is that a simplified representation with the actual part having spiral grooves cut into it like a rifle barrel to aid fluid movement?
They wont having 96% eff is insane only Aliens have invented 100% unity
Excellent explanation, thank you!
Damn perfect explaination very very clear and to the point..
This the the electric car version of ignition advance curves to improve efficiency at different speeds.
Yeah, something of the sort.
Unfortunately, spark advance did not resolve the issue of Coil magnetic-saturation at high RPMs. That was resolved later with multiplexing multiple Ignition coils. (first it was 2 coils (50% duty cycle) now some cars have one coil per Cylinder.....)
Very good analogy.
@Robert Slackware They don't have 2 levels of CONTACTS. It's all electronic Commutation.
and they don't fire on empty cylinders.
the EIS simply monitors the firing sequence
then triggers the proper coil.
By sharing the duty cycle the Coils have time for proper saturation. which was a problem at HIGH Rpms.....
Not at all. Inverter motor simply take the electricity and adjust the frequency. The outlet in your home runs at 60hz. The inverter changes this HZ to whatever it needs. It goes from 1hz to 1khz (top limit would be the maximum rpm the motor can handle). The first DC brushless motor was the gas gauge in vehicles back from the middle 1900s. Yes that is a DC brushless motor.
Not at all like that. The old motor they had would run like that. They had timing advances. This is like running 2 ignition systems both at the same time and blending between them depending on RPM
The rotor's magnet catches the magnetic field lines as the stator windings rotate laterally.

i just graduated and im supposed to understand motors but your video is incomprehensible.
10:35 I wonder if they have tried putting the magnets in a free floating channel so it can spin based off of cars needs ... So each magnet can be either pull or grab... Using small motor
This made me feel stupid af.
Im a design engineer and im also in awe, don't feel bad.
Yea
You’re in good company; I have a bachelors degree in physics and had to pause and rewind SEVERAL times to wrap my head around this
I only graduated highschool and I understood it all from start to finish no rewinding needed.
The concept is simple but the terminology is what most people are missing to understand what's going on here. They are reshaping the fields from the permanent magnets during high speeds to reduce Eddy currents that cause excessive heat. That's what they are demonstrating at 5:30 and 6:45 by placing permanent magnets within the slots in the rotor.
Not saying this is cake work to design and build, only that the concept is simple to understand once you know the language.
