Graham is a retired engineer who spent much of his career designing and building large electric motors and generators. He started in the Large Induction Motor department of EE-AEI, Rugby, as a design engineer. Over his 49 years based at that company he worked on the design of a wide variety of motors and generators including the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, winder motors for gold, coal and copper mines, water pumping stations, among many others.
After retiring, he was asked to be the Motor Design Consultant for Williams Formula 1 at Wantage to help with their electric motor design for the Formula E racing cars. The Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) power unit drives the Jaguar Racing TCS and Envision Formula E cars, and this year they won the 2023 world championship.
WAE have asked Graham to help with their motor/generator design for the Infinity Train in Australia. This is a very new exciting project expected to save 82 million litres of diesel per year using on-board batteries to store Potential Energy recovered from a loaded down-hill run to the Port.
