What a bunch of baloney. If a motor is already 95% efficient, how do you
double its efficiency?
I'm sure the motor gurus on the list can shoot holes in this nonsense.
There are reasons motors haven't changed much in 100 years.
One, there isn't much room left for improvement, two, the laws of physics.

Achieving Near Monopole Magnetic Fields
Catalan says conventional motors are a bit like incandescent bulbs. Like
photons from a light source, electric motors wastefully radiate magnetic
energy in all directions. Catalan says his motor is configured to act like a
laser, focusing nearly all the magnetic energy exclusively towards the
airgap to enhance power and efficiency. By harnessing this ‘near-monopole’
energy, Catalan says an electric vehicle using a production version of his
new motor would travel nearly twice as far as a conventional motor on the
same set of batteries. Conversely, his motor in its final form would provide
nearly twice as much power or torque as a conventional motor using exactly
the same amount of energy.
