Nashikkar's Law of Opposing torque on electric motor

Nashikkar's Law of Opposing torque on electric motor proposes that the addition of a flywheel to an electric motor system significantly suppresses post-power-cut deceleration forces — specifically friction torque and electromagnetic braking torque. By leveraging: Increased moment of inertia Low-friction ceramic bearings Minimal EM resistance through rotation ...this theory shows that the opposing torques acting on the motor rotor become “almost zero”, leading to prolonged motion, higher efficiency, and better energy conservation in electric motor systems. “According to Nashikkar’s Law, the angular deceleration of a flywheel–motor system is directly proportional to twice the total torque and inversely proportional to the moment of inertia.”

Abstract

Nashikkar's Law of Opposing torque on electric motor proposes that the addition of a flywheel to an electric motor system significantly suppresses post-power-cut deceleration forces — specifically friction torque and electromagnetic braking torque. By leveraging: Increased moment of inertia Low-friction ceramic bearings Minimal EM resistance through rotation ...this theory shows that the opposing torques acting on the motor rotor become “almost zero”, leading to prolonged motion, higher efficiency, and better energy conservation in electric motor systems. “According to Nashikkar’s Law, the angular deceleration of a flywheel–motor system is directly proportional to twice the total torque and inversely proportional to the moment of inertia.”
