ELECTROMAGNETIC_EVOLUTION
In the Hive, the motor is the heart. Traditional Brushless DC (BLDC) motors lose up to 20% of their energy as heat. The 2025 shift toward Halbach Array magnet configurations has revolutionized drone endurance.
MOTOR ARCHITECTURE DATA
TRADITIONAL RADIAL MOTORS
- Flux Pattern: Magnetic field radiates in all directions (High leakage).
- Performance: Standard torque; requires heavy iron backing to contain the field.
- Efficiency: 75% - 82%.
HALBACH ARRAY MOTORS
- Flux Pattern: Magnets are arranged in a rotating pattern that cancels the field on one side and doubles it on the other.
- Performance: Massive torque increase with zero magnetic leakage.
- Efficiency: 92% - 96% (Significant battery savings).
Tactical Advantage: Because Halbach motors have no "external" magnetic pull, they interfere less with the drone's onboard Compass and Magnetometer, leading to more stable GPS flight.
