Abstract

For over one hundred years of history of electric motor, there has been no major change to the original invention and early development of the technology. The double-rotor motor (DRM) as discussed in some recent patent disclosures and in a few research publications for the first time ever is to cause some substantial change to the very definition of electric motor, its mechanism and applications. This paper discusses the theoretical insight into the DRM and explores the actual potentials of the same.
