Abstract

The disclosed high-efficiency motor may include the following: at least two magnets, a rigid structure arranged between the at least two magnets, where the rigid structure has traces configured to act as a moveable coil, and at least two couplings that respectively link the magnets to the rigid structure in a flexible manner. An electrical input signal applied to the moveable coil may cause motive force to be applied the rigid structure according to the input signal, so that the rigid structure moves orthogonally relative to the magnets as driven by the input signal. In this manner, the high-efficiency motor may be incorporated into a system that may reproduce a full-range audio signal. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
