- Video Outline
- Permanent magnet DC motor (the main discussion in video) - found in a hand drill
- - uses a permanent magnet and a coil of wire to carry the current
- - Wikipedia: Brushed DC electric motor
- Universal motor - found in a blender or vacuum cleaner
- - these can run on both DC or AC input voltage and instead of having permanent magnets, they have 2 coils of wire.
- - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor Wikipedia: Universal motor
- mini induction motor - found in a microwave (fan) or washing machine (water pump)
- mini brushless DC motor - found in a computer fan
- Induction motor (single phase or three phase)
