In this hands-on tutorial, you will learn how to make a generator at home using a DC motor, a perfect new project for DIY ...

Discover the fascinating process of creating your very own DC motor or generator in this detailed instructional video.

MIKROE’s integrated driver board for brushed DC motors includes a suite of software tools that speed development of robust ...

DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...

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 ...

[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

The DC series motor has some desirable properties, but it can become quite dangerous to use if proper safety precautions are ...
