Applications of ME’s device range from consumer products to propulsion to power generation. The devices prove scalable from fractional torque to hundreds, even thousands, of horsepower. Primary competitive advantages for initial market penetration include uses where sources of power prove expensive, where size and weight matter, and/or where applications require high torque and low RPMs.
