Re: difference between wound and permene
I'm aware that motor efficiency (power out/power
in) increases with higher voltages - looking at the
power curves for just about any DC motor, be it a
series wound Advanced DC, an Astroflight Cobalt

I checked out the web site for the LEMCO motor,
and sent off an email to Wilde EVolutions, and about
a half hour later, Roderick Wilde called me. He was

Re: difference between wound and permene
The reason the motors work so well at lower RPM
is larger diameter. The smaller the diameter/number
of polls the higher the rpm and lower torque at low
rpm. Conversly...the larger the diameter and

Re: difference between wound and permene
Chris..forgive me my friend..but read what you
wrote...1st. Higher voltage motors are more efficient. 2nd 12V
X 30 amps=360 W and 36V X 10 amps = 360W which is
right..on a small motor that is at 1kw

Re: difference between wound and permene
Good observation Chris, the battery people look
at Watt/ KG that is to say how many watts can a
given battery package produce per unit of weight. It
makes no difference in the batteries to a point.

Re: difference between wound and permene
What is the main reason why those motors work so
well at low rpm? Also, I note that some very small
brushless PM motors spin at high rpms to yield good power.
Is this because power output is a

Re: difference between wound and permene
I'll grant that higher voltage systems are more
efficient, but I don't understand how having the same number
of batteries in a parallel system versus a series
system results in a higher amperage draw

Re: difference between wound and permene
You will find that the RPM's these PM motors work
best at are something less than 1500. This is the real
reason why they are so good at pushing props when used
in a direct drive mode. It is also why

Re: low efficiency gear drive
Am I missing something! Where do you get the idea
that gears are not efficient. They have a lot less
friction than belts. Look at a 200 hp ob motor. You can
