Plastic Bonded Iron Powder Motors Can Halve the Cost and Double the Output of Electri

Hmm, interesting read. But, there is a quote (below) pulled from that page that is a little confusing to me:

The technique is not suitable for high-performance motors, such as servo motors. But for fans, pumps, household appliances, and cars it’s a perfect fit. The technology can pave the way for new possibilities, such as facilitating the conversion of cars to electric hybrid power. It’s worth mentioning in this connection that all methods that lead to simpler and cheaper production indirectly help curb carbon dioxide emissions.

Wouldn't car motors (or our BL motors) be considered high-performance?

Yeah, no kidding. It didn't make any sense to me either... but hopefully it can be advantageous for PM motors. But it will most likely be a while before it trickles down into R/C market. Unless one of the BL motor makers jump into it right away.

maybe they meant there suiatable for use in the battery/motor/ESC/air con fans that facilitate EV use.
