Illustrated in this project is the use of stepper motors in order to generate electricity that may be used to power LEDs, charge some batteries or even drive a motor. Illustrated in this project is ...

Discover how to build a simple electromagnetic motor and generator using everyday materials in this hands-on science experiment. Follow the detailed steps to assemble a motor with a plastic bottle cap ...

Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they believe it is ...

Stepper motors are synchronous motors that step at the pulse rate of the driving signal. For the motor to move quickly, the stepping rate must be fast. However, because of motor and load inertia, the ...

The quest for energy efficient electric motors has generated a lot of interesting ideas. One of the latest is said to push the efficiency of induction motors to better than super-premium levels by ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

ROSSLYN, Va. — The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) announced it has revised NEMA MG 1-2016 Motors and Generators. NEMA MG 1 assists users in the proper selection and application ...
