The increasingly popular German blender/cooker/scale appears to have an extremely powerful motor yet is very, very light. Does anyone know what kind of electric motor this machine uses and what principal it operates on?

** The maker's very first page sys it is a " Vorwerk reluctance motor " - likely a "switched reluctance" type or SRM.The particular motor and speed control device are patented, so do a search and you will get some details.

Some of these motors are using linear induction design, and are high frequency electronic driven from a drive amplifier circuit board. There are also motors that are also AC mains driven which use linear induction design that are also very strong.
The motor shaft output is normally working at very high RPM, and is going through a reduction gearbox to add a high amount of torque.
