why motors can convert energy?? why motors can convert energy when you'll only just spin it??

I know this can't be done, else everyone would be doing it, this question is more of a "why can't it be done? and what are the difficulties that make this impossible?" rather than a "Why is no one doing it?". We have a motor, naturally we would connect it to our mains and draw power, the...

I was reading about induction motors and speed controller(self commutated inverters for cage motor), and i didn't understand this sentence:"The induction motor can either absorb or deliver reactive power". Thanks for any help.

Hi guys, I have a question about working out the capacitance of a capacitor. I am not great at electronics, but if i understand correctly the capacitor in a capacitor motor is what makes it start spinning. I'm wondering is anyone could recommend a good resource for reading about how this...

Hello All- COuld someone please give me a primer on DC as it pertains to voltage, amperage and wattage. Specifically, if I have a motor that i need to run at very low RPM (50 -150), how does the motor compare across a 12v system vs. a 24, 48 or even 60v system. Do 60v systems run more...

The design I am building is like the simple DC motor design on http://www.coolmagnetman.com/magdcmot.htm I need some help in understanding how the shape of the loop of current carrying wire (like the difference between a square and circle shape) figures into determining the rpm on a simple dc...

I'm trying to find a DC motor in the 3-3.5kW 12-24V range (Preferably 24V) for a project that will utilize the motor at maximum power for occasional short bursts of maybe 2-3 seconds in duration at most. The motor needs to be fairly small, lightweight, and CHEAP ($100 or less). Starter motors...

Alright this is hard for me to write because I feel like a backstabber but I need to stop him before he destroys my family. My father is a very smart small business owner and inventor and he is very near hitting it "big" with one invention. However, he has another project in the works that is...

Hopefully this is the appropriate forum for this sort of question, but I was wondering if any of you might know where I could buy small brushless DC motors online. I've been Googling around for a while, but most of the ones that I found are too large and expensive for what I need, as they're...

Decided not to use the template as I'm not asking someone to do my homework for me, please don't delete! Anyway, doing my A2 coursework on the workings of a DC motor. I found that when the armature and field electromagnets are connected to separate power supplies that, when it appears they...

Hi people, im new to this forum. I'm currently working on a underwater ROV for my school project. We did a experiment recently on the performance of our ROV. We met up with some problems on the motor & the propeller for the thrusting. The motor stalls just after 5secs. So I am thinking is...

Hi, I have a question about synchronous motors. If the DC field winding of a synchronous motor were to be replaced by a low-impedance short-circuited coil and the stator were to be supplied with 3-phase AC, would the rotor spin? If the answer is yes, would the rotor follow the direction of...

Homework Statement Eliza connects a power supply, switch, and a multimeter (in ammeter mode) in series with a wire coil. The wire coil is held into place by 2 connecting wire leads. One of the wire leads has been stripped off of the insulating enamel coating so that half the wire is bare; the...

I have been doing some research on pure magnetic motors. I have seen countless vidoes on youtube.. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI4NDrPQ2rA&feature=related ] for one. In these type of motors use the concept of "reshaping" the magnetic fields to allow unidirectional force on a rotor...

If we build a High Temperature superconductor without Meissner effect ; So it can build energy?:confused:

hey does anyone know the effiency and power factor of a typical three phase induction motor? cheers,

I am not asking if they are considered as input into the armature's magnetic field. I strongly believe they are NOT even considered when designing motors. The question is, "DO THEY EXIST IN MOTORS?" Based on evidence from conventional theory, it appears they do infact affect the output of...

Is it possible for electric motors to compare to the strength of human muscles, in terms of power-to-weight ratios? That is, with the proper engineering, is it theoretically possible? I don't see why not, simply increasing voltage increases power, if the heat generated is a problem, can't the...

This may not be the place to ask this question, but I can't seem to get a good answer anywhere else...I have a manufacturing company. I am on a 3-phase demand meter. I'm trying to figure out if it is more cost effective to shut all the electric motors down during breaks and lunch and restart...
