Brushed Motor V Brushless Motors
If you are new to the world of radio control, or are just out of touch with the new technology, you may not know the differences between conventional brushed and brushless motor systems. I have written this guide to help other radio control enthusiasts understand the differences between the two. Brushless motors offer more power and higher efficiency than the equivalent brushed motor of the same size. You will get longer run times and higher speeds with a brushless motor of the same physical size, and very little maintenance is required with the brushless type. The internal workings of both brushed DC (direct current) and brushless DC motors are based on the same idea; the motor windings have current supplied to them and an electromagnetic field is generated, which pushes/repels against the permanent magnets and causes the shaft to turn. As the shaft turns, this pushing energy transfers from one set of windings to the next causing the motor shaft to rotate continuously. The differences between the two motor types are listed below, as well as the advantages and disadvantages. With a brushed motor, the windings are fixed onto the central shaft inside the motor case and spin with the shaft when current is applied. The permanent magnets do not move - they are fixed to the inside of the motor can. Power is supplied to the motor windings by two brushes (positive and negative) that push against the commutator on the central shaft. The friction between the brushes and the commutator is the reason why this motor is not as efficient as a brushless motor. Also, the brushes and commutator will wear out after some time, so brushed motors require maintenance and replacement parts from time to time. A more powerful brushed motor will wear out quicker than a slower one. If you have ever owned a ready-to-run electric rc car, chances are that you would have used a brushed rc motor at some point. Due to their affordability, brushed motors are usually supplied with most entry-level to mid-range radio control car kits. The extremely popular Tamiya kits, for example, are usually supplied with a standard 540 type silver can. The brushed DC motor goes back to the mid 1800's and it was this type of motor that first appeared in the early radio controlled car kits. Simple wiring - brushed motors only require two wires to power them and do not require any electronic commutation. Therefore, brushed Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC) are relatively inexpensive. Brushes and commutator wear out after time, although they are rebuildable in some motors. Not very efficient when compared to brushless. More power is wasted through the additional heat loss and friction of the brushes against the commutator. This means you will have shorter run times. The brushless motor does not require a physical commutator; this is one of the reasons they are so popular today. No commutator or brushes means almost zero maintenance (the bearings will last a very long time but obviously not forever). You will find a brushless motor system in the more expensive ready-to-run cars, and most serious racers will use this type of motor, if permitted. Brushless motor technology was invented in the 1960's but did not really become available for radio controlled cars until around 2003-2004 (earlier for model aircraft). None Very low maintenance; no brushes or commutator to wear out. None Higher efficiency compared to brushed so you will get longer run times. A more complicated 'Brushless ESC' is required to power it.
1. gas or electric motor?
In my opinion? It will be long after this generations dead before everything goes electric. We realize the limited availability of petroleum, but since it still exists, society will keep using it
2. Car Window Motor?
You can (carefully) use jumper wires off the battery to manually actuate the window motor. Reversing the polarity of the wires will reverse the direction. If the motor works, find a wiring diagram (auto zone can supply you with one) and test the switch with a volt meter. I like to use sewing T-pins to "backprobe" the wires by inserting them into the back of the plug and attaching the voltmeter leads to the t-pins. Doing this allows you to observe the circuit operation without disrupting it, and without damaging the insulation on any of the wires. My money is on the motor though
3. what does a pool pump motor sound like?
do you have a sump pump in your basement. when its running mid cycle before it starts cavitating. it sounds like any other electric motor with the faint sound of water traveling through a pipe
