. They can be divided into three groups
-
Electromechanical systems
They convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, or vice versa. These include electric motors, DC generators and alternators. In the next few years, the latest and most efficient magnets will form the basis of electronically commutated motors, which are both simpler and more efficient than induction motors. We're also talking about electroacoustic actuators (microphones,...
