If the source of supply is d.c. (for example in a battery vehicle or a rapid transit system) a chopper-type converter is usually employed. The basic operation of a single-switch chopper was discussed ...

The thyristor d.c. drive remains an important speed-controlled industrial drive, especially where the higher maintenance cost associated with the d.c. motor brushes (c.f. induction motor) is tolerable ...

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board, It has flexible digital interfaces and it is very small but powerful. The board offers users the chance to develop projects ...

Industrial applications use direct current motors because the speed-torque relationship can be varied to almost any useful form -- for both motor and regeneration applications in either direction of ...

Discover how to build a DIY mini water pump using recycled bottle caps and a small DC motor! This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to create an efficient homemade pump from everyday materials.

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...
