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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
