HaloDrive Motor/Generators – Solving a Global Problem

At Orbis Electric, we are driven by a mission of energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Through cutting-edge design innovations, we are not only reducing manufacturing costs and emissions across the supply chain—but also preparing industries to meet emerging global standards for low-emission technologies.

Rethinking Motor Materials

"At Orbis Electric, we are championing our imaginative use of physics to solve a global problem of over reliance on rare earths to deliver a high performance, high efficiency, low cost, and lightweight e-motor.”

-Marcus Hayes, Founder and CTO

Electric vehicles, renewable energy, aerospace, and defense all rely on permanent magnet motors. 95% of these applications utilize neodymium magnetic material that is price volatile and environmentally problematic. OE motors are the solution. The torque density of Orbis Electric motors is unrivaled when using neodymium- it is that same torque density advantage that invites alternatives to price volatile and environmentally problematic neodymium.

A Better Path Forward

Today, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, aerospace, and defense applications all depend on permanent magnet motors. Approximately 95% of these motors rely on neodymium, a rare earth element that is both environmentally damaging to mine and subject to extreme price volatility.

Orbis Electric’s HaloDrive motors break this dependency.

By leveraging our superior torque density architecture, which traditionally gives neodymium-based motors their performance edge, we are now able to explore non-rare earth alternatives—without sacrificing efficiency, size, or power. The same physics that make neodymium powerful can now be applied to more sustainable and cost-stable materials.

One third of the world’s electricity is wasted by inefficient e-motors. This waste is equivalent to the emissions of 125M cars.

Eliminating Waste, Unlocking Efficiency

HaloDrive targets the 30–40% of electricity wasted in traditional motor systems due to:

  • Inefficient, outdated motor designs

  • Improper motor sizing—especially oversizing

  • Lack of variable frequency drives (VFDs)

  • Mechanical inefficiencies (e.g., belts, friction, and poor maintenance)

By solving these systemic inefficiencies,  HaloDrive motor-generators deliver exceptional ROI. In most applications, the cost of the system is recovered in under two years. After that, customers can realize millions of dollars in annual energy savings, all while contributing to the reduction of billions of tons of CO₂—with zero net cost to the bottom line.
