In this informative and hands-on video, we'll guide you through the process of building an AC generator at home using a DC ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

In this intriguing video, we delve into the fascinating world of electric motors by conducting an experiment to compare the performance of DC motors versus AC motors. Watch as we put these motors to ...

DC machines can be classified as self-excited, separately excited, permanent magnet (PM), and brushless. Self-excited machines can be further classified as shunt, series, and compound. Compound ...

When energy-efficiency costs come into play, more designers are opting for the electronically commutated motor rather than familiar AC and DC versions. For motor applications, engineers have several ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

Both AC and DC motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy used to power various appliances. For example, refrigerators, drills, blenders, and dryers all use electrical motors to generate ...

The first type of motor built is still in widespread use In the late 1800s, several inventors built the first working motors, which used direct current (DC) power. After the invention of the induction ...

Specifics about high-power-density motors (HPDMs). Applications best served with HPDMs. Why BLDCs are perhaps the most preferred among HPDM architectures. High power density is an important ...
