A Solid State motor?

[clueless]

I'm new at this energy stuff so bear with me. I'm slowly getting together electronic parts together and I have some LA batteries I'm playing with in attempt to recondition them. I have been working on some simple circuits. This may be a ignorant question but still I had to ask so the next time I will be less ignorant.
I've been reading up on a new generation of LED bulbs that put out the light of a 40-50 watt bulb using only 1-2 watts of power. The explanation offered was that LEDs are SS while incandesent bulbs were mechanical using more power to operate.
I understand that an electric motor under a load uses more power and I assume most or partly because of the rotaing field is physcially moved. Could the rotor action be simulated through electronic means and if it could would that translate to more efficency?
When I say motor I mean electric generator (I guess) because a motor would still need a shaft to turn something.
As I say this may have already been done or tried. I'd appreciate any feedback or education any of you all willing to share though.
Thank you

Someone with a degree will hopefully answer, but i'll chime in...
Broadly, anything with heat or a motor onboard uses more energy from a source than other circuits. A Joule Thief will light an LED from a flat battery, but you won't get a motor to turn or a coil to heat up anywhere near as easily.
If you think about what is in your house and the current they use, you can readily tell that with motors and heat comes power useage...and then you get a washing machine set on high heat

The magnetic forces within a motor remain constant, but the load exerted on the output shaft may increase. With no load, the shaft turns freely and moves to each firing coil point most readily...with a huge brick on the end or something, the rotor can't physically move anywhere and so stalls.Hence, with increasing load, the rotor slows. The mechanical element of a standard DC/AC/ or probably Bedini motor remains essential to the ability to do work. The shaft is only turning because of repulsion and exertion forces from the magnetic interactions. That force is what makes the shaft turn and the load able to be moved.

Solid State switching is how a computer HDD works, or a brushless motor in my usual field of radio controlled aircraft. The ESC (Electronic Speed Control) switches the magnetic points based on where the rotor is up to. They can have feedback sensors on them so the ESC knows, like Hall Effect sensors, or can be sensorless. The upshot of all, is that the circuit does the switching and the motor then turns the load.

Your idea is in use...it's what may be termed the back end of how brushless motors run

Actually RG that is an excellent question and great thinking. Yes it has been done and maybe you will be the next to do it. Google "Thane Heins Bi-Toroid Transformer"
Have fun.

thanks but the explanation of the Thanes device

is above my head. I did investigate the links but I am confused by the math. I have to feel it, see it, in order to understand it. I was just wondering if a revolving virtual field, either electrical or magnetic, can be induced and if it can would that reduce resistance produced by a load? And if a virtual field can be produced how would it look or feel?
I worked for some time in the auto collision repair business and until I could see the waves in my mind (through touch) I could not reverse the damage. That took a while to learn, no math involved...for me. Others learn differently.

PS I thought I'd explain the RG signature; it stands for resident genius. RG is a reminder for how little I do know vs how much I think I do know. Any of you old enough to remember the WB cartoons with W.E. Coyote and Roadrunner should understand.
I do appreciate all the knowledge displayed here and the help I've seen offered freely to others.

the meg motionless electric generator

the closed thing to a solid state generator is a meg. I'am looking into this my self , shows some promise ,good luck.
cheers:::
