Lynch motor

The Lynch motor is a unique axial gap permanent magnet brushed DC electric motor. The motor has a pancake-like shape and was invented by Cedric Lynch in 1979, the relevant patent being filed on 18 December 1986. The Lynch motor can achieve 90% efficiency. It is built from ferrite blocks sandwiched between strips of metal, instead of conventional copper coil windings, and is held together purely by magnets. The motor provides a power of 15 horsepower (11 kW) and only weighs 11 kilograms (24 lb).
