The Boeing Corporation recently designed a new motor concept that alters the magnetic fields inside a normal induction motor. Theoretically, the âtransverse induction motorâÂ_x009d_ should improve the motor’s overall efficiency. Even a small increase in efficiency would save billions of dollars on energy annually. The Harvey Mudd College Clinic Team designed, built, and tested the relative efficiency of a proof-of-concept, one horse-power transverse induction motor.
