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

i cant click on the link... my comp is being stupid..

but how efficient would these be compared to bl motors?

I'm not so sure about this. All plastics are temperature and pressure sensitive (at least in comparison with metalics). At some point, your motors will heat to a point where the plastic will begin to loose its "manufactured" shape. Second, the forces of rotation will also add to the creep effect. But on the other hand, technology won't advance until items like these are tried and used.

I am sure they have figured out a good compound for high temperature use, as there are many high temp plastics out there. This material would be used on the stator, the non moving part of the motor, there would be no rotational forces to be had.

But yeah, I agree, it has to be tried and used.
