We have amazing youngsters these days. I found this wonderful article about a young man who is an inventor and he is only 17 years old.
“Rare-earth materials in existing electric motors are a major factor undermining the sustainability of electric vehicles,” he says. “Seeing the day when EVs are fully sustainable due to the help of my novel motor design would be a dream come true.”
I had previously read that, in the same place as you. Interesting and very cool. Plus seems like he has developed this, and his other projects mostly on his own, no formal mentor. Young, old or in-between - anyone can have a good idea at some point, and hopefully be able to act on it. I like how this idea may be able to benefit our environment. Best of luck achieving this, “Seeing the day when EVs are fully sustainable due to the help of my novel motor design would be a dream come true.".
