  • The engineers of Tesla motor's shocked everyone when they abandoned the versatile induction motor in Model 3 cars. They used a totally different motor called IPM-SynRM. Let's understand why the Tesla engineers made this crucial design change.

    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.

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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    So they went from a 3 phase squirrel cage motor to a permanent magnet motor, put the magnets from the outside the rotor to the inside to get better efficiency and realized that solid magnets weren't as efficient as individual magnets. They also realized that by continuously changing the phase angles that it would give them the best results for driving, this is seen in most modern power tools and features in Milwaukee power tools.

    to those having a headache: 1. when magnets are moved around wires an electric current is induced in the wire. i.e. electrons move. 2. if electrons move thru wire a magnetic field also circles the entire length of the wire. electricity and magnetism are not separate. it is one phenomena joined from two properties = electro-magnetism. 3. so, use the magnet's field to move metal parts around, like a drive axle.

    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?
