Simulation of an Organic Magnet in Switched Reluctance Motor Application

A comparison method (Increased Current Factor per displacement) is developed to help further researches and design consideration for Organic Electric Motors and Hybrid Organic-Metallic Electric Motors. One specific polymer referred to as “PhanPol2”, has been tested in different configurations for the Switched Reluctance Motor. This magnetic polymer was used to develop a comparison method and to provide data from the first simulations of an organic magnet in electric machines applications. Considerations on using the Increased Current Factor in the design stage is presented, suggesting a control system and design tweaking to lower the exciting current of the coils in Hybrid Organic Stator Motors. Ideas for further research on organic magnets in electric machines are presented as well as discussion on the importance of using these materials in motors and generators. This is still a new field and certainly, more research is needed in the future for real-world applications, both on the design and, especially, the chemical perspective.
