A New Type Of Motor Made From Gadget Guts

Engineers at CORE Outdoor Power developed a printed circuit board-based rotary motor that’s as strong as a gas-powered one, but without the emissions and noise.
Since the 1950s, the brain of any electronic device has been a printed circuit board (PCB), a piece of substrate that contains all—or most—of a device’s electrical components, including wires, switches, and processors. Rather than using PCBs simply as a control center, engineers at Montana-based CORE Outdoor Power are using them as a power source. They’ve developed a PCB-based rotary motor that’s as strong as a gas-powered one, but without the emissions and noise.
