Electric machines and recyclable magnets: cutting-edge technologies to save material

The IFPEN Transports Energie and Énergies du futur (CEA-Liten) Carnot Institutes pooled their expertise for the Melchior project (Machines électriques dans une chaîne de valeur orientée vers le recyclage, or Electric Machines in a Recycling-Oriented Value Chain), conducted from 2022 to 2023 and aimed at developing an electric machine prototype based on recyclable magnet technology. This prototype significantly reduces the quantity of magnets habitually used and its innovative architecture facilitates recycling while guaranteeing excellent performance.
