I have returned from New Albany, Indiana after going to see the Lynx electric motor, and I was impressed enough to buy stock in their private placement. If anyone is interested enough to look further into this, PM me. I think that they will soon have the motor of choice for EVs and many other applications.

I personally saw an 11 H.P. stepper motor smoothly and precisely maneuver a 6', 80lb. steel beam for about 15 minutes straight with 3/8 second reversals from about 500 rpm in one direction to the same in the other direction. It was an awesome sight. There was almost no heat developed after all of this. I placed my hand on the motor before and after the demonstration. I can easily believe their 97% efficiency claim as the heat from inefficiency cannot be hidden.

My feeling is that this motor will be very important to the future of EVs. Speeds of 0 - 3000 rpm can be achieved with no gearing necessary and high torque. I am now a believer. More at
