Dyson Unveils the World’s Fastest Electrical Motor for Handheld Vacuum Cleaners

The mechanism behind is it is based on the new motorized technology that has able to get rid of closed electrical contact Carbon-brush technology with spinning commutator for it to create torque for continuous spinning effect. As the time passed, the contact resistance may increase that could impact the energy efficiency in the long run. Instead of relying on the current technology, DDM V2 will be based on powerful neodymium magnets that generate strong electromagnetic field to eliminate friction issue which eventually improve the energy efficiency significantly. According to the company, DDM V2 is almost twice more efficient when comparing to its predecessor based on Carbon-brush technology.
