Brushless DC motors, or BLDCs, work in a similar way to PMSMs using permanent magnets paired with an electronically-commutated stator. However, BLDCs use direct current electricity rather than ...

Surrounding the rotor is the stator, which is a stationary housing ... including ones that run by using an external motor controller to modulate DC current (brushless DC motors) and ones that ...

The donut motor is really just a brushless DC motor with a sign-pole stator and a multi-pole rotor. The frame of the motor is built from a styrofoam donut, hence the motor’s name. The rotor is ...

[Levi] whipped up his brushless DC motor design in OnShape. The motor has six coils in the stator, with the rotor carrying eight neodymium magnets. It’s an axial flux design, with the rotor’s ...
