Interesting concept.

The MagnaDrive Technology

MagnaDrive's patented technology uses high power Neodymium-Iron-Boron permanent magnets to create an induced electromotive force used for torque transfer. The system physically separates the two elements of the motor system, placing magnet discs on the load shaft and a conductor assembly on the motor shaft. Motor torque is transferred to the load across an air gap. Varying the air gap between the magnets and conductor changes the strength of the magnetic field and hence controls output speed. A portfolio of 20 domestic and more than 200 foreign patents protects MagnaDrive's technology. Some of the features and benefits of this technology include:

* No-contact power transfer - Eliminates vibration, reduces noise, tolerates misalignment, provides overload protection, extends motor and equipment life and reduces overall maintenance costs.
* Energy efficiency - Up to 70% audited energy savings in various installations.
* Precise process control - Improves product quality and optimizes process rates.
* Soft start/stop - Reduces the motor's start-up power demands and the resulting brown-outs, alleviates paying for peak power, allows downsizing of motors, increases motor life and reduces maintenance.
* Simplicity and ruggedness - System can be maintained in-house and used in harsh conditions.

About the Magnets
Rare earth permanent magnets are an important part of our everyday lives, serving as essential components in everything from electric motors, computers, production equipment and automobiles. The magnets are made of a combination of Neodymium, Iron and Boron (NdFeB). Rare earth technology is the most recent addition to the family of high performance permanent magnets and became commercially available in the 1980's. NdFeB magnets have the highest energy product of all permanent magnets, permitting the small size and high torque transmission capability of MagnaDrive products. NdFeB magnets retain their performance in environments up to 350 Deg. F., and have a half-life of over 2,000 years.

doesnt make me interested.

This makes me want to spend all my money. Because shiny things are the most important thing in life

Can't see a lot in the picture but this could be very interesting as more information is released.

Note RF insignia at the bottom

In that case we shouldn't have to worry about it , the lawsuits will stop it being sold after a week.

is this the same technology as the pulse then?

Its wireless so for paintball purposes its the same technology.

The lawsuits were initiated by kee so I dont think empire will have to worry in this instance.




While they are claiming the benefits of its 'simplicity' it seems overcomplicated to me.

If you have a good control system and sensors, and a big spring in the cone to store up any inconcisntencies you do get, you dont need a clutch.

All it will do is reduce battery life.

I guess it would stop your loader destroying itself during jams but so does having good current sensing on the motor (and with this method you can back up the cone to clear the jam).

I don't see KEE taking THEMSELVES to court...

 

[Hoodless ECI]

the kids on the 'nation are claiming how they look like a reloader and an egg have mated... from multiple sources, something to do with them being demoed at 'cup.

 

[ION_CRAZY]

so this whole law suit thing, is there a winner? it seems to me that kee are doing this so they can bring there own RF hopper and tarnish the DXS name.
