Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

If you’re an active shopper on RC websites, you’ll find tiny motors spec’ed at hundreds of watts while weighing just a few grams, like this one. Sadly, their complementary motor controllers are ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors transform electrical power into mechanical power. However, there’s no such thing as a perfect motor; there are always losses in the transformation. The three main types of ...

A new class of BLDC motors has evolved that are small enough to fit into confined spaces, powerful enough to do real work, and efficient enough to be used in wireless or remote applications The spread ...

Brushless dc (BLDC) motors offer multiple benefits over other types of dc motors. They’re efficient, reliable, run at high speeds, are compact for their power level, and produce little or no EMI.

The worst thing about a volume knob is that, having connected it to a computer, it might be wrong: if you’ve manually altered the volume settings somewhere else, the knob’s reading won’t be correct.

Our project focuses on improving the control system for an electric-vehicle motor, previously used in a racing competition by the UDA E-Team (short for Universidad del Azuay, Ecuador). This project ...

Nearly everyone has heard the term “cloud-based computing,” yet most of us who rely on being able to access important data from our computers and smartphones don’t think much about where the data is ...

Having reviewed the basics of BLDC motor control in Part 1, the design effort canbegin.. The first quest is to select a microcontroller. Looking in themarketplace there are several microcontrollers ...
