Well, there's this orbital rocket maker that is working to replace
hydraulic gymbal actuators with electric, is already using high power
density electric motors from an associated electric car maker for control
service actuators, and that company has deep motor generator high
powercontrol expertise, builds their own electronics, has carbon fiber
wrapped rotor thousandish horsepower motor generators in mass production.
The rocket maker has pretty impressive full flow cycle rocket engines in
mass production now.
What would you say the odds are that there might be high speed electric
motor/generators in the turbine power loops now or in the future?
Don't need a motor and a generator. One device spins it up, manages a
difficult high power loop, and provides lots of auxiliary power for
electric actuators and such.
