Over 47% of the world’s electricity is consumed by analog motors. These legacy motors haven’t fundamentally evolved since the 19th century, and they waste half of the energy they consume. There is no path to climate change without modernising the world’s electric motors. Turntide Technologies is the first real revolution in motor technology in our lifetimes and if it replaced all the motors in the world with its technology, it would be the carbon equivalent of adding seven new Amazon rainforests.
