036. How Motors Work For Beginners (Ep 1): The DC Motor
- 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)
037. How Motors Work for Beginners (Ep 2): The Generator and Universal Motor
- Video Outline
- - More about the permanent magnet DC motor
- - Intro to the universal motors
- universal motors are not generators since they do not have a permanent magnet.
- - Quick demo of inductance motors
