Chorus Motors

Chorus Motors PLC. is research and development company that has invented and developed an improved AC induction motor/drive system. According to a Businessweek company overview as of Jun 27, 2013 "Chorus Motors PLC filed its Annual on Jun 27, 2013 for the period ending Mar 31, 2013. In this report its auditor, Moore Stephens, gave an unqualified opinion expressing doubt that the company can continue as a going concern."[20]

Motor types

The Chorus Meshcon motor is a high-phase-order motor/drive system that claims to offer up to ten times the "burst", start-up, or acceleration torque of a conventional motor and drive of the same rated power and base speed.

Chorus motors claims the Meshcon Motor co-opts the harmonics that limit motor performance and that typically cause motor heating. According to these claims, a Chorus AC motor can generate far more torque than its conventional brethren. It is said to do this by changing both the layout of the magnetic coils and the power input waveforms of a standard AC induction motor. Another example, the Chorus Star motor, is claimed to achieve much higher torque densities than a traditional 3-phase motor, but allegedly with no cost penalty. The Chorus Star concept utilizes concentrated, high phase order windings..

WheelTug

Wheeltug is a ground propulsion system for aircraft which puts an electric motor into the hub of the nose wheel to allow for backwards movement without the use of pushback tugs and to allow for forward movement without using the aircraft engines. WheelTug will drive the aircraft with power supplied by the onboard APU (Auxiliary Power Unit). The first version is being designed for the Boeing 737NG with delivery expected in 2012..

The parent company Borealis Exploration Ltd. signed an agreement with Delta Air Lines making Delta the development partner and launch customer for the Boeing 737NG version of WheelTug to allow electric ground taxi. The company Wheeltug PLC has been spun off as a subsidiary of Chorus Motors PLC. and the expected delivery of the first units is scheduled for 2010..

WheelTug and Co-Operative Industries completed an Electrical Load Measurement (ELM) test on a B737NG in January 2010 at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, GA to confirm sufficient power.[21]

Wheeltug's financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2013 include an audit by Moore Stephens accounting firm which raises doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.[22]

According to a company press release as of January 1, 2014, WheelTug's Order Book was 731 aircraft systems, across 13 airlines.[23]

gollark: Just use swap space!
gollark: Unfortunate.
gollark: Get as many TPU VMs as possible and install distributed filesystem software on them.
gollark: You can always just put your data in /tmp and hope nobody ever reboots it.
gollark: Apparently attempting to train this rapidly produces NaNs (even if I set the learning rate to 0 (yes, I know this won't actually train it, it was a test)). I may abandon this until it is the future and tooling/hardware is better.
