This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project furthers the research and development of a completely new low cost high efficiency electric motor for use in HVAC compressors and transportation (electric and hybrid electric) power trains. Parallel Magnetic Circuit (?PMC?) technology is a breakthrough magnetic force control technology that is applicable to any electromagnetic device. Unlike alternative existing/conventional electric motors, which use series magnetic circuits limited by the flux density of the most powerful single magnet element, PMC moves flux from multiple permanent magnets and field coils into a coherent and additive geometry - dramatically increasing both efficiency and power density. The increased power density, efficiency and operating speeds intrinsic to PMC designs are enabling performance characteristics for HVAC and transportation systems providing lower cost, smaller, lighter weight, faster and more reliable alternatives. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to improve the efficiency of over $500 billion a year in electricity usage by up to 10% or more, the potential reduction of over 20% of the world?s coal fired electricity generation and the potential elimination of up to 30% of global CO2 emissions. Higher energy prices and usage have accelerated the growing global demand for lower cost energy efficient products. Since over 50% of all global electricity is consumed in electric motor systems and over 26% of fossil fuels are used in transportation applications, it provides a significant opportunity to reduce energy costs, pollution and national security concerns. PMC motors can be used to significantly increase the efficiency and lower the cost of all electric motor driven systems including electric and hybrid electric vehicles, HVAC systems, industrial, consumer, military applications.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目进一步研究和开发一种全新的低成本高效电动机，用于HVAC压缩机和运输（电动和混合动力）动力系统。 并联磁路（？）PMC？）技术是一种突破性的磁力控制技术，适用于任何电磁装置。 与使用受最强大的单个磁体元件的通量密度限制的串联磁路的替代现有/传统电动机不同，PMC将来自多个永磁体和励磁线圈的通量移动到相干和附加的几何形状中-显著提高效率和功率密度。 PMC设计所固有的功率密度、效率和运行速度的提高使HVAC和运输系统的性能特性成为可能，从而提供成本更低、体积更小、重量更轻、速度更快和更可靠的替代方案。 该项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力是将每年超过5000亿美元的电力使用效率提高10%或更多，潜在减少20%以上的世界？中国的燃煤发电和潜在的消除高达30%的全球二氧化碳排放量。 更高的能源价格和使用量加速了全球对低成本节能产品的需求增长。 由于全球超过50%的电力消耗在电动机系统中，超过26%的化石燃料用于运输应用，因此它为降低能源成本、污染和国家安全问题提供了重要机会。 PMC电机可用于显著提高所有电动机驱动系统的效率并降低成本，包括电动和混合动力电动车辆、HVAC系统、工业、消费者、军事应用。
