  3. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    A piezoelectric motor or piezo motor is a type of electric motor based upon the change in shape of a piezoelectric material when an electric field is applied. Piezoelectric motors make use of the converse piezoelectric effect whereby the material produces acoustic or ultrasonic vibrations to produce linear or rotary motion. [ 85 ]

  4. Brushless DC electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor

    The motor from a 3.5 in floppy disk drive. The coils, arranged radially, are made from copper wire coated with blue insulation. The rotor (upper right) has been removed and turned upside-down. The gray ring inside its cup is a permanent magnet. This particular motor is an outrunner, with the stator inside the rotor. DC brushless ducted fan. The ...

  5. Ultrasonic motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_motor

    An ultrasonic motor is a type of piezoelectric motor powered by the ultrasonic vibration of a component, the stator, placed against another component, the rotor or slider depending on the scheme of operation (rotation or linear translation).

  6. Shaded-pole motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaded-pole_motor

    The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase electric motor, dating back to at least as early as 1890. [1] A shaded-pole motor is a motor, in which the auxiliary winding is composed of a copper ring or bar surrounding a portion of each pole to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field . [ 2 ]

  7. AC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

    An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor magnetic field ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynch_motor

    Agni Lynch motor fitted to an electric motorcycle. The Lynch motor is a unique axial gap permanent magnet brushed DC electric motor. [1] The motor has a pancake-like shape and was invented by Cedric Lynch in 1979, the relevant patent being filed on 18 December 1986.

  9. Motor–generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor–generator

    As an example, a 250 kVA motor–generator operating at 300 ampere of full load current will require 1550 ampere of in-rush current during a re-closure after 5 seconds. This example used a fixed mounted flywheel sized to result in a 1 ⁄ 2 Hz per second slew rate. The motor–generator was a vertical type two-bearing machine with oil-bath ...
