🧲 The Magnetic Transistor — Directional Flux, On Demand
Our patent-pending Magnetic Transistor steers flux cleanly and deliberately—giving you true one-way behavior with almost no loss and none of the field distortion that plagues conventional magnetic components.
The payoff is simple: cooler hardware, quieter machines, sharper control, and a brand-new class of magnetic logic where switching is physical, not algorithmic.
Most emerging “magnetic diode” concepts—spintronic MRAM, thin-film logic, nanofabricated tunnel junctions—aim for microwatts and microns. They’re elegant, but they’re built for research fabs, not for real-world kilowatts.
FluxWorx takes a different path. Our approach is material-agnostic, geometry-driven, and scalable across 10 orders of magnitude. The same steering principle works in a ferrite block on a bench… or inside an on-chip magnetic track carrying only a few gauss.
High-power today. On-chip tomorrow. No exotic materials. No physics-lottery breakthroughs required.
💡 Why Magnetic Transistors & Diodes Matter
Electronic diodes made modern electronics possible by controlling current direction. A magnetic diode does the same for flux—unlocking smarter motors, cooler power systems, robust magnetic logic, solid-state actuation, and even new cooling architectures.
This is about solving the hard problems at the physics layer.
✨ Why It Matters: Tackling the hard problems
🧲 The Permanent-Magnet Motor Paradox — Solved, Not Managed
Permanent-magnet motors spend their lives wrestling with their own fields. At high speed the fixed flux becomes a liability: field-weakening losses rise, heating climbs, and efficiency falls off a cliff.
A magnetic diode changes the rules. Directional flux paths act like a passive valve—guiding the field where it’s useful and starving the loss paths where it isn’t. That extends the usable speed range, lowers heat, and trims the overhead normally spent “fighting” the magnet.
🔌 Power Electronics’ Hidden Bottleneck — Reduced at the Source
Inverters and converters are incredible machines, but every switching event dumps heat, and every degree of extra temperature shortens lifespan.
Shift part of the job into the magnetic circuit itself. When the flux pathway carries some of the control burden, stages can simplify. Systems run smaller, cooler, and more reliable—especially in designs where magnetic components already dominate the architecture.
⚡ High-Power DC Fault Control — Reimagined
DC faults are brutal: no natural zero-crossing, explosive rise rates, and protection stacks that are slow, heavy, and expensive. Traditional breakers eat energy, take abuse, and sometimes still lose.
A magnetic diode introduces something new to the toolbox. A directional magnetic pathway behaves like a check-valve for energy flow—favoring forward motion and resisting backflow. That opens the door for faster, cleaner fault-management strategies in DC grids, EV platforms, aerospace power buses, and other high-reliability domains.
🧲 IP Status: FluxWorx holds three provisional patents, filed March, May & July 2025, with a full PCT application scheduled for early 2026.
