    Over 60% of the world’s electricity is used by electric motors, they are found everywhere from factories to fridges. These electric motors account for over 10% of the world’s carbon emissions, and most of them are shockingly inefficient wasting up to 80% of the electricity used to power them. SynchroPulse has spent 10 years developing a more efficient design to tackle this problem, building various prototypes suitable for different applications.

    The vision was to come up with an everyday motor that was affordable and efficient, and this unique design has now been patented. SynchroPulse can be used in anything from small fans to industrial pumps to electric cars. The super efficient motor is particularly suited to appliances which run all the time because the cost of retrofitting / buying the motors is quickly recouped – often in months. With SynchroPulse using just a quarter of the electricity of a conventional motor, the potential energy and carbon savings are huge.
