Vector Motors is selling off the 1993 prototypes of its never-produced WX-3 supercar, apparently to fund development of its planned WX-8 hypercar. For those not in the know, Vector Motors is an ...

In case you were ever worried about looking too conservative in your Vector W8, RM Sotheby's has a pair of wild Vector Avtech WX-3 prototypes ready to cross the block at its next sale. Packed with ...

This application note presents space vector modulation, a technique that can be applied for AC inductor motors and 3-phae BLDC motor types. It demonstrates how Zilog’s Z16FMC MCU can implement ...

Unearthing a little-known brand with a fascinating story and a unique record to its name.

This application note discusses the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of 3-phase AC induction motors. Field Oriented Control is also referred to as Space Vector Control. Vector control provides efficient ...

1. Field-oriented control (FOC), also known as vector control, maintains a constant stator field in quadrature with the rotor field irrespective of any bandwidth limitations presented by the PI ...

Demand for low-cost, robust motor drives has spurred increased use of sensorless vector control of induction and BLDC motors — in everything from consumer products to industrial applications, in ...

Jerry Wiegert, founder of Vector Motors and the mind behind the W8 supercar, has passed away at the age of 76, on January 15. No details were made known about his passing. Gerald Alden “Jerry” Wiegert ...

Toshiba Corp. readying the deployment of several new microcontrollers with an on-chip vector engine coprocessor that will allow the design of much more energy efficient DC motor controllers.The ...

Motors are everywhere—from air conditioners and vacuum cleaners to power tools and industrial equipment. As globalisation and ...
