[Robert Murray-Smith] doesn’t like the price of inverters to convert DC to AC. That led him to build a dynamotor, or what is sometimes called a motor-generator set. These devices are just DC motors ...

Brushless motor technology has been around for a gizmillion years. The motor technology is simpler than a brush type and is more reliable, with no brushes to wear out. Best of all, the motors can be ...

After only a few years of being completely immersed in the culture of motor drivers, it is very easy for me to take for granted the fact that most people are not familiar with electromechanical ...

In the world of power tools, brushless motors are all the rage. While the technology isn't exactly new, it has gained traction in recent years due to some high-profile releases by Makita, Milwaukee, ...

Despite their superior qualities, brushless motors still run second to brush types in motion-control applications. Brushless systems are usually preferred, however, where their benefits outweigh their ...

Sometimes there is no substitute for a real working model to tinker with when it comes to understanding how something works. Take a brushless motor for example. You may know how they work in principle ...

Opera software for motor and generator design lets users define complex behaviors such as friction, load, and speed-dependent torques. April 24, 2008 Multiphysics capabilities show the effects of ...
