O estágio na WEG, uma das maiores fabricantes de motores elétricos do mundo, proporciona a Felipe a oportunidade de aplicar na prática os conhecimentos adquiridos na formação técnica e acadêmica, além de contribuir para o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias.

De acordo com o ND Mais, a experiência na WEG também possibilita a Felipe o contato direto com profissionais experientes e a participação em projetos inovadores, ampliando sua visão sobre o setor industrial e suas possibilidades de atuação futura.

Presença nas redes sociais e divulgação de tecnologia

Além da formação acadêmica e do estágio, Felipe se destaca pela presença ativa nas redes sociais, onde compartilha conteúdos sobre engenharia e tecnologia, tornando conceitos técnicos mais acessíveis ao público em geral.

Social media and content about industrial technology

On social media, Felipe uses the Master do Motor profile to publish content related to the world of electric motors, as mentioned in reports about his trajectory.

Jornal do Vale do Itapocu reported that Felipe’s digital community gathers more than 28,000 followers interested in electric motors, a figure that specifies the reach previously described generically as “thousands of followers.”

In an interview with JDV, Felipe stated that he never sought to follow trends of quick and superficial videos just to gain views and that his goal has always been to produce materials for those who work in the field or wish to learn.

The report also noted that the language used in the videos follows what Felipe calls “workshop language,” with practical examples to explain technical topics.

Collection gathers engines and pumps from different eras

Besides his activity on social media and internship, Felipe maintains a technical collection consisting of electric motors, pumps, catalogs, manuals, and printed materials from national and international manufacturers.

According to Jornal do Vale do Itapocu, the collection gathers more than 200 electric motors and pumps manufactured between 1922 and 2026, with equipment from different eras and manufacturers.

The same report states that the collection includes brands like GE, Westinghouse, Kohlbach, Eberle, WEG, Hercules, Siemens, Nova, Mercosul, Voges, Mebsa, and Thorq3.

Still according to JDV, the catalogs, technical manuals, and printed materials preserved by Felipe serve as a source of consultation for studies, content production, and research on the evolution of electric motors.

Relationship with WEG founder gained repercussion

Felipe’s story also gained repercussion after he published a tribute to Werner Ricardo Voigt, one of the founders of WEG, who passed away in 2016, according to a report by ND Mais.

In the account published on social media and reproduced by the portal, Felipe stated that, even as a boy discovering what an electric motor was, he shared the same passion for the subject with Werner.

Felipe also declared that Werner taught values related to work, questioning, innovation, humility, and love for the profession, in a message reproduced by ND Mais.

The tribute was published in early June 2026, when Felipe recalled the ten years since Werner Voigt’s death and described living with the founder as part of his personal and professional journey.

WEG provides context to Felipe’s journey

WEG states on its institutional page that it was founded on September 16, 1961, in Jaraguá do Sul, initially as Eletromotores Jaraguá.

The company claims it was born from the union of the skills of Werner Ricardo Voigt, Eggon João da Silva, and Geraldo Werninghaus, and that the name WEG came to be used in reference to the founders’ initials.

According to the company, the initial production was focused on electric motors, but activities were expanded from the 1980s to include electromechanical components, industrial automation, transformers, paints, and complete industrial electrical systems.

In this context, Felipe’s journey gathers data confirmed by local reports and institutional information: interest in motors since childhood, training in Electromechanics, Electrical Engineering course, internship at WEG, digital presence, and a technical collection related to the history of electric motors.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Brazil invests R$ 293.8 million to remove 552,000 m³ of submerged rocks from the Tietê River, deepen 16 km of the channel by 3.5 meters, and allow larger convoys on the waterway that connects cargo from the Midwest and Southeast to the Port of Santos.

Isolated in the Atlantic, an African island with about 5,000 residents reported dynamite explosions at a construction site, feared damage to water and crops, and ended up almost a year without internet.

Brazil has already created globally successful games, trained professionals for major studios, and won over players abroad, but it still hasn’t managed to produce its own AAA blockbuster.

Someone paid $1.3 million for a tiny parking space, only 12.5 m².

A site that was only for family relaxation turned into a source of income on Airbnb, accommodates up to 9 people, charges R$ 1,400 per weekend, and shows how a pool, lawn, cleaning, and maintenance can turn the dream of extra income into 24-hour work.
