I would guess that hydro and other generator forms would benefit from this design as well?
Personally I’d love to see this make it’s way into power tools and CNC motors.

This makes them kind of unsuitable for power generation and really high power motors (despite their power density) where the main way you get more power is just to spin really fast.
The other disadvantage is they have such a low amount of material in them, that the stator overheats really easily. And the topology of the motor makes it really difficult to get the heat out efficiently, which again limits their maximum power.
