Adventech named as finalist for Edison Award

Adventech, Florence, Ala., has been named as a finalist for a 2022 Edison Award in the sustainability category for its Maxeff induction motor generator.

The generator has been recognized for its ability to operate at an unparalleled power factor of 1 (eliminating reactive power waste found in all other induction motors) while producing almost synchronous RPMs and unmatched levels of torque, the company reports. These results are possible because of an internal secondary winding that operates as a generator circuit.

The awards are presented by Edison Universe, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, to recognize, honor, and foster innovators and innovations that positively impact the world.
