Problem
Current electric generators and motors operate efficiently only within narrow ranges, struggling to adapt to variable power inputs and outputs common in applications like wind turbines and electric vehicles. This inefficiency limits energy harvesting in wind power and restricts the range of electric vehicles.
Solution
NextPower360 develops electric generators and motors that instantaneously adapt to variable power inputs and outputs, significantly increasing energy efficiency. For wind turbines, this technology enables up to double the energy harvest per turbine by automatically adjusting to the exact power needed for a given wind speed. In electric vehicles, the motor design provides breakthrough range extension through a smaller, simpler, lighter, and more efficient motor design, also improving power and regenerative braking.
Target Audience
The primary customers are wind turbine manufacturers and operators seeking to maximize energy capture, and electric vehicle manufacturers aiming to improve vehicle range and efficiency.
