Is There a New, More Efficient Electric Motor?

AI Thread Summary
A new electric motor claims to offer improved efficiency, raising questions about its adherence to the laws of thermodynamics. Participants are seeking information on real-world testing and performance of this motor. Previous discussions on increasing motor efficiency have been referenced for context. The conversation emphasizes the need for empirical evidence to support claims of enhanced efficiency. Further contributions should be directed to the original thread for continuity.

TL;DR Summary
Robert Downey Jr., Bill Gates, et al have backed a startup to produce more efficient electric motor
Electric Motor Start-Up

I have done little research into this so far but my "Law of Thermodynamics" alarm is blaring loud-and-clear. Has anyone here heard of this "new motor?" Has anyone tested one in the field?

Any further posts should be in that original thread. Thanks.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
