What is a brushless ESC, really? Well, generally, it’s usually a microcontroller with a whole lot of power transistors hanging off it to drive three phases of brushless motor coils. [Frank …read more Continue reading Brushless ESC Becomes Dual-Motor Brushed ESC With A Few Changes
Boomerangs are known for their unique ability to circle back to the thrower, but what if you could harness this characteristic for powered for free flight? In a project that …read more Continue reading Electric Boomerang Does Laps
While renewable energy offers many opportunities for decentralizing energy production, it can sometimes feel that doing so on a truly local level remains unachievable with increasingly large utility-scale deployments re-centralizing …read more Continue reading ModuCoil – A Modular Coil for Motor and Generator Projects
Typically, when most of us need a motor, we jump online to order one from a catalogue. [Levi Janssen] recently had to build his own for a college project, however, …read more Continue reading You Can 3D Print a 12,500 RPM Brushless Motor
The story of how [Tony]’s three-wheeled electric scooter came to be has a beginning that may sound familiar. One day, he was browsing overseas resellers and came across a new …read more Continue reading Adding A Third Wheel (And Speed Boost) To An Electric Scooter
Four years ago when the idea of a pandemic was something which only worried a few epidemiologists, a group of British hardware hackers and robotic combat enthusiasts came up with …read more Continue reading How Far Can You Push A £500 Small Electric Car; Four Years Of The Hacky Racer
If you march sufficiently deep into the wilderness of control theory, you’ll no doubt encounter the inverted pendulum problem. These balancing acts have emerged with a number of variants over …read more Continue reading Ball Balancing Wheel Puts a Spin on Inverted Pendulums
[Carl Bugeja] has been working on his PCB motors for more than three years now, and it doesn’t seem like he is close to running out of ideas for the …read more Continue reading Tiny PCB Motor Robot Is Making It’s First Wobbly Moves
[Robert Murray-Smith] doesn’t like the price of inverters to convert DC to AC. That led him to build a dynamotor, or what is sometimes called a motor-generator set. These devices …read more Continue reading The Dynamotor Simplified
The availability of small and powerful brushless motors has been instrumental in the development of so-called micro-mobility vehicles. But if your commute involves crossing a frozen lake, you might find the options a bit lacking. Fortunately [Simon] from [RCLifeOn] now …read more
