Abstract :
Permanent magnet motors are now practical up to thousands of horsepower. The relative advantages of disc, rotating cylinder, and cup rotor geometries are dependent on shaft speed and power level. Brushless disc motors with pulse width modulated drives have been demonstrated over a range of 200 to 20000 RPM and 10 to 700 horsepower
