Intrinsic localized mode (ILM) has been observed in various physical systems. In particular, electromagnetic ILM has been observed on an LC ladder circuit array. This paper focused on the electromagnetic ILM and aims to evaluate the feasibility of a new electric motor driven by the electromagnetic ILM numerically. First, we propose two types of nonlinear inductors with different geometries, and their magnetic saturation characteristics are clarified from the magnetic field analysis. Second, numerical simulations using the obtained parameters show that the moving velocity of a moving ILM varies with an initial voltage disturbance. Finally, we propose an inductor with permanent magnets placed on a surface of a rotor core, aiming to generate the electromagnetic ILM more efficiently. Numerical simulations show that the behavior of the moving ILM is affected by the rotational speed of the rotor.
