Robot Subs Go to War
The US Navy’s Seahorse autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is mentioned briefly in this article about military AUVs. The Seahorse, which is a 28-foot long battery-powered robotic submarine, uses a Lynx motor for propulsion. The photo gallery accompanying the online version of the article includes several pictures of the Seahorse in action.

The Remarkable Lynx Motion Electric Motor
“What’s the secret of the Lynx motor? It’s the way Kessinger and his handful of Lynx engineers have found a way to concentrate the number of motor windings while eliminating many of the parts found in a conventional electric motor, which itself means lower production costs.”

Motoring On
“In 1990, the engineers at Visual Computing Systems Corp. were working to build a more efficient robotic actuator, a gear-driven motor that powers robotic equipment. What they came up with was something far more dramatic – a gearless industrial motor that was quieter, stronger, lighter and more efficient than anything now on the market.”

Navy Moves forward with Lynx Motor
“Recently, Lynx Motion Technology Corporation, a small business partner of the Manufacturing Technology Transfer Center (MTTC) in Louisville, Kentucky, has developed a totally new type of electric motor which is so precise and so powerful (10 times the torque-to-weight ratio of convential electric motors) that it could revolutionize the way Navy ship systems operate. Furthermore, the basic simplicity of the motor design promises greatly reduced maintenance costs.”
