C-Motive's mission is to create electric machines that directly lead to reduced carbon emissions through higher efficiency renewable generators applicable to the next generation of e-mobility vehicles and more efficient industrial torque motors. C-Motive's unmatched torque, efficiency, and simplicity will lead to a new generation of applications that create more renewable power and waste less electricity.
C-Motive's motors run on the principle of electrostatic forces, also known as "static cling," and stands to change the machines that shape and run our lives. Our motors produce torque by the same principle of rubbing a balloon on a head of hair. And just like hair doesn't heat up with the balloon, our motors produce torque with nearly zero loss, versus using copper coils wound around steel with rare earth permanent magnets.
