PicoGK forms the basis for all of the company’s computational engineering models. It has lead to the development of a completely new electric motor that is entirely 3D printed through AM. But is this the future of motor design?

    I’m looking forward to when Ai creates YouTube titles that are more accurate and less hyperbole.

    Title "Game over" then 10 seconds in "But will this truly be the motor of the future." Suffering from a bit of premature e-declaration.
  • @tuseroni6085
    there isn't a working benchmark, nor a breakdown of parts...this is just a model it created we don't even know it works.
  • @Andy-df5fj
    I think there should be a question mark after "GAME OVER" until a motor is actually produced and evaluated.
  • @gabedarrett1301
    Was kinda hoping to see more performance specs for the motor, as well as what exactly the AI was optimizing. The high surface area appears to optimize heat dissipation
  • future machine parts are gonna look like video game artifacts, which is really cool

    I believe the copper windings will not work very well if 3D printed. Any microscopic "hole" will lessen the magnetic field or cause stray eddy current causing problems with power. A regular copper wire is going to be hard to beat.

    For those commenting, generative design isn’t a new concept in engineering. It’s cool that it’s being applied to more complex problems!
  • @jtjames79
    3d printing is approaching the price of machining with way more to go.
  • @SFCFilms
    What do you mean by game over? What game? What does that have to do with the motor?
  • @anielyantra1
    I want to see a performance test of this so called AI motor design.
  • @jinchoung
    WHAT DEVELOPMENTS???? it hasn't even been fucking TESTED¿¡¿

    There was a evolutionary engineering researcher some time ago who used software to "breed" a beam for the International Space Station as a design exercise. This is where the software applies what amounts to genetic breeding of parts to come up with a design that fits the requirements. The beam the computer created looked like a giant leg bone. These generative and evolutionary design methods are going to create some great stuff - that looks really, really weird.

    Now I know why H.R. Giger's designs for Alien movie looked like this...

    This is mostly clickbait. The axial flux motor used by Koenigsegg is based upon a license from a British company that has now been bought by Mercedes. I am converting a 1970 Lotus Europa into an EV using a similar but much smaller axial from motor. The electric motor weighs just 22 lbs and replaces a Renault engine and accessories that weigh 246 lbs! Oh, and it produces around 40% more torque, with maximum torque at just above zero rpm, as well as over 60% higher bhp. It would be easy to install a larger motor, but it's driving through the Renault transmission to keep the suspension the same, and I'm concerned too much torque will snap the input shaft like a carrot. BTW, a popular conventional radial flux motor with similar performance specifications weighs 120lbs! My current (pun intended) calculations indicate the vehicle will weigh no more than it did when it left the factory in Britain.

    Maybe we’ll finally get a decent turbo encabulator
  • @Zero_Gravitas
    Did AI write this video also? After the high-school physics lesson it's just disconnected rambling lol.

    3D printing different metals in volume is going to be challenging.
