Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed relating to electric motor applications. The systems and techniques are described in the context of an electric powered vehicle. The electric powered vehicle includes a drive wheel, an electric motor configured to rotate the drive wheel by delivering power thereto, a speed sensor configured to monitor rotational speed of the drive wheel, and a controller configured to limit the power delivered to the drive wheel to a maximum level over a range of rotational speeds monitored by the speed sensor.

Abstract: A desalination system for removing at least a substantial amount of salt from a saltwater. In at least one embodiment, the desalination system may inject the saltwater with one or more ionized gases for removing contaminants from the saltwater. The desalination system may include one or more ionized gas generators for generating one or more ionized gases to be mixed with the saltwater. The desalination system may inject a disinfectant into the saltwater to disinfect the saltwater. The desalination system may generate one or more disinfectants from saltwater using a disinfectant generator. In at least one embodiment, the disinfectant generator may separate disinfectants from saltwater using electrolysis.
