      Reprehensible to present this as an educational video (not a stock pump) while omitting to mention the most important engineering fact: Lucid is running its motor at DOUBLE the Voltage of the Tesla Plaid motor. No they didn’t miraculously double the power density with neat wires and magnet placement. Chances are if one applied 924V to the Plaid motor it would out-perform the admittedly nice-looking Lucid contraption. Plus the Tesla doesn’t need a rear differential at all. It has independent motors for torque vectoring.

      @@juliancox3229 electric motors don't work that way, or even close.
      Maximum available voltage is only used to drive the motor at the highest end of the operating speed range, to overcome the back EMF which is proportional to speed and magnetic field strength, so having more voltage available would make no difference to the motor over most the speed range. At low speed power is limited by torque which is limited by the current and the magnetic field strength which the motor can withstand, as well as the current limit of the inverter. In the middle of the speed range the limitations are usually in the rest of the system, such as battery discharge rate and inverter power limits due to heat dissipation, but can also be limited by motor heat dissipation; this is the constant-power region explained in the video.
      If you applied extra voltage to the Tesla motor you would just get excessive current that it can't handle.
      Even a motor designed for higher voltage doesn't have much of an advantage: to use the twice the voltage it would have twice as many turns of wire with half of the wire cross-sectional size, carrying half the current... for the same magnetic field strength resulting in the same torque and power, and using the same electrical power. The upper speed limit doesn't change because with twice the number of winding turns it needs twice the voltage to reach the same speed against back EMF.

    thanks to this production and the carbon wrapped motor of the competitor! it appears to me that Lucid's motor is more expensive to make and they achieve higher HP/power by reducing the radius of the motor then compensate the loss of torque through gears. Competitor's motor appears a lot cheaper due to conventional design. The reason they are forced use carbon wrap is they have to reuse that existing conventional motor design, but since the rotor radius is slightly larger, the centrifugal forces are too much to reach higher RPMs/Power.
    in short, electric motor design pretty much a compromise, no one is significantly better than the other!!😁

      ​@@beforebefore That´s not the only reason for the carbon wrap. Any rotor will expand at very high rpm. Meaning you actually need extra distance between the stator and the rotor with the traditional design. The Lucid laminate shape is what you´ll find in other rotors. Chevy Bolt laminate is almost the same. One thing I disliked about this video is that they make these things sound like Lucid is the first that realized where to put the magnets or cooling. Nope, everyone knows closer is better. There are always compromises that influence the final design.

This required the carbon fiber wrap, which is far more "increased diameter" than just material expansion at the nominal 20k RPM... no steel alloy material would expand that much at that RPM and survive. This allows Lucid to run much tighter coupling between stator and rotor for much better efficiency and power.

    @36:07 No, the accelerator input does not control the motor drive frequency. The motor drive power is synchronized (that's why it's a "synchronous" motor) with the rotor position. The accelerator signal is used to determine motor current, which determines motor torque output, which causes the vehicle to accelerate, which is a change in motor speed, and the inverter follows that speed.

    Totally loved it. My first comment ever on a video but it was so well explained. Really looking forward to more of these tech talks. I am heavily invested in Lucid and I believe it's a good one despite the current rate because of the technical prowess of the company.

    Awsome! Thank You! I've been waiting for this.
    EDIT: WOW! This is definitely a "Watch it twice and take notes" video! Information dense. Love it.
    I'm starting to realize why my Air GT is so brutally quick. Naturally I now want you to find a battery chemistry that will let me put more Amps to the motors for even more power (which I totally do Not need).
    Thanks again!

    I love this Tech Talk format and it was great to show to my son who is considering starting engineering at Uni next year. That said, I am confused by the Peter's inference of achieveing 11% efficiency improvements over the competitors. When I look at the closest Tesla S model with 100kWh battery and the Air at 112kWh then the kWh/mile makes the Lucid just under 4% more efficient. I realize that isn't apples to apples, but the design improvements demonstrated are best proven through improvements in efficiency, lower costs and/or improved reliability.

    The fact that they brought in a Tesla plaid motor to show off and proved they have a better design is genius. They are not afraid of Tesla, they're willing to match wits with Elon any day.

    @georgecostanza2695 Před rokem

    Peter, if this car thing doesn’t work out you can always teach physics… and I’m not trying to be facetious, great job explaining motor torque and power! The key to conveying complex ideas is via easily understandable concepts in a calm, consistent manner. That other guy in the video was very much like all the physics teachers I had through school; which is why I never continued studying it. That fast talking “it’s easy for me, so it should be easy for you” kind of attitude is counterproductive to communicating ideas and getting people excited about the subject matter.

    • @othmanskn
      @othmanskn Před rokem

      Surely can. Lucid optimise the design and dimensions for a luxury EV with ground breaking range and power. Lucid has achieved them, beating Tesla by a huge margin, but the luxury elements cost too much. By removing luxury, sticking to items that are easily mass produced, like these motors, there is no reason to doubt that Lucid can beat Tesla in price and performance. Elon has alienated the very best engineers on earth, sticking only on obedient and hard working engineers. This is the price of Tesla's egos.

    These Lucid tech talks are brilliant. I truly hope that Lucid survives this stage of their growth. They will need to make a less expensive EV that includes all these technical innovations. I can buy nearly three Model S Plaids for one Sapphire with minimal advantage. I'd rather own the Sapphire but can't afford it. Having the ability to manufacture the Plaid so efficiently is an upshot and perhaps a benefit of an imperfect engineering solution. In contrast, the Lucid team is focusing on technical perfection with the downsides of cost. Hopefully, their technical innovations will include cost efficiencies in the near future.

    This is a very professionally talk; I did not hear a single word attacking any others car companies. Very nice design should be another episode talk about how motor control software can recapture the energy back to the battery. You have a very high efficiency motor but it doesn’t mean you have a highly efficient EV. How the inverter software can recapture the energy during slowdown or stop is another big part of the equation. I had seen EVs with a lot of brake dusk at the wheels. This indicates significant energy losses. If this is your secret then it OK, but it nice to another half of the equation.
