// Motoreka · Motor Design Trainer System

Modular electric motor assembly

"From Design to Operation"

The first electric motor training platform built for hands-on TVET education. Students don't observe — they design, wind, assemble, and operate real induction machines from loose laminations to running motor.

// The Problem

Students observe.
Never build.

Conventional motor training kits are sealed, fixed units. TVET institutions across Malaysia and the region lack affordable, disassemblable hardware for genuine hands-on learning — and the few that exist cost more than most departments can budget.

Sealed commercial training kit
RM 50K – 100K
Commercial sets (Lucas Nülle, LabVolt) — sealed and non-disassemblable. The price of looking inside one motor.
Sealed construction means students cannot access internal geometry, inspect end-windings, or measure design choices against outcomes.
No known training system covers the full path from electromagnetic design through manufacturing to drive operation in one platform.

Every module closes with structured rubrics and outcome verification. Adopt all five, or integrate at the level that fits your curriculum.

// Novelty & Inventiveness

What makes it different

Four design choices that turn invisible physics into something students can touch, see, and reason about.

Stacked silicon steel laminations

Stackable Laminations

24-slot stator built from individual loose M330-35A silicon steel sheets — hand-stacked by students.

Bolt-and-nut assembly detail

Bolt-and-Nut Assembly

Reversible construction over permanent bonding — full disassembly and reassembly, session after session.

Assembled Motoreka induction motor

Interchangeable Rotor

Swappable topology — IM, PMSM, SynRM — expandable as the curriculum advances.

End-winding geometry on stator

Visible End-Windings

Open construction lets students inspect winding geometry directly — invisible physics made tangible.

// Every Module Ready to Teach

Structured notes, worksheets & assistant apps

Each of the five modules ships with print-ready training materials, guided lab worksheets, and dedicated companion web apps. Instructors deliver from day one.

// Voices From the First Cohort

What students and instructors are saying

Building real motors gave me hands-on experience that would have taken years to develop in industry. I am now confident to work with motors.
