Outcome of FEMM Hub’s first feasibility call

In the call scope, we asked for proposals that would complement existing FEMM hub research, fill gaps or add cross-cutting activities.  We wanted proposals to demonstrate the potential, if feasibility is demonstrated, to significantly improve the UK’s manufacturing capabilities.

We received 11 proposals in total across a broad spectrum of topics, following an extensive review and ranking process the following proposals have been chosen:

• PI: Hamid Assadi, Brunel University London
  Manufacturing of lightweight structural components for high-performance electrical machines by electromagnetic pulse technology (EMPT)

• PI: Claire Davis, University of Warwick
  HiPPES - High performing and processible electrical steels

• PI: Markus Mueller, University of Edinburgh
  Industrial manufacture of marinised coils - IMMCoil

• PI: Nick Simpson, University of Bristol
  Additive manufacturing for next generation functional integration of windings and thermal management in future electrical machines
