英国YASA公司开发出一种突破性的电动机，拥有前所未有的功率密度。这款新型轴向磁通电动机重量仅为28磅（约一只小型犬的重量），却能提供超过1005马力，超过其先前记录40%，相当于两辆特斯拉Model 3 Performance的动力。重要的是，这并非实验室概念，而是一款能够持续输出350-400马力（469-536马力）的完全功能性电动机。YASA公司在没有依赖昂贵材料的情况下实现了这一性能，暗示了潜在的可扩展性。这项创新对电动汽车的未来意义重大。更轻的电机意味着更轻的车辆，从而提高效率、加速性能和续航里程。作为梅赛德斯-奔驰的子公司，YASA已经为梅赛德斯-AMG GT XX和法拉利296 GTB等高性能汽车提供电机，这项技术最终可能会应用于更实惠的电动汽车。

YASA开发的新型电动机性能比之前的纪录保持者提高了40%，可能为电动汽车（EV）带来显著的效率提升。关键创新在于其轴向磁通设计，传统上受制于制造困难。 YASA通过使用软磁复合材料（SMC）对电动机进行分段，实现了低成本的3D压制，取代了复杂的叠片工艺，从而克服了这一难题。 YASA成立于2009年，是牛津大学的衍生公司。近期，在1200万英镑的投资后，YASA在英国开设了一家“超级工厂”，年产能超过25,000台。评论员指出，更轻的重量提高了功率重量比，使电动汽车和潜在的电动飞行受益。虽然有用户质疑考虑到电动汽车电池的重量，这项突破代表了电动机技术和制造可扩展性的重大进展。

UK-based YASA has just built a tiny electric motor that makes Tesla motors look like slackers, and this invention could potentially reshape the future of EVs.

The company has unveiled a new prototype that’s breaking records for power and performance density.

It’s smaller and lighter than traditional motors, yet it’s somehow more powerful.

Perhaps the best part is that it’s a fully functional motor, rather than some lab-only concept.

This tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower

The new YASA axial flux motor weighs just 28 pounds, or about the same as a small dog.

However, it delivers a jaw-dropping 750 kilowatts of power, which is the equivalent of 1,005 horsepower.

That’s about the same as two Tesla Model 3 Performance cars combined, or four individual Tesla motors.

In comparison, the previous record holder, which was also produced by the same company, weighed 28.8 pounds, and achieved a peak power of 550 kilowatts (737 horsepower).

This makes the current electric motor 40 percent better than the previous edition.

It can also sustain between 350 and 400 kilowatts (469–536 horsepower) continuously, meaning it’s not just built for short bursts, as it can deliver massive power all day long.

According to YASA, this is achieved without using exotic or expensive materials, so the design could actually be scalable once the demand kicks in.

“This record demonstrates what makes YASA unique,” said CEO Joerg Miska.

“With three times the performance density of today’s leading radial flux motors, we’re redefining what’s possible in electric motor design.”

In simpler terms, the company has made a motor that is small, light, and ridiculously powerful.

YASA already produces motors for many expensive cars

That’s a big deal for EVs.

A lighter motor means a lighter car, which means better efficiency, faster acceleration, and longer range from the same battery.

For EVs, every pound matters, so saving weight without compromising performance could be a gamechanger.

YASA, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, already produces motors that power some of the world’s fastest and most expensive cars.

These include the Mercedes-AMG GT XX concept, and the Ferrari 296 GTB.

Perhaps as production scales and prices drop, these ultra-efficient motors could find their way into everyday EVs, like the Nissan Leaf EV, which is the cheapest EV in the US.

For now, the company’s tiny electric motor proves that big things can come in small packages, and that performance need not be sacrificed.
