Electric > Motors, brushless

Q-36: I’m more of an experimenter than an actual RC flyer. I’ve been very interested in the continual development of the highly efficient brushless electric motors. I was wondering if you might do an article about building your own brushless motor. Answer ...

Q-137: In a recent FAQ column you mentioned a software program and an interface device that allows one to program a brushless motor ESC with the aid of a PC. I don’t own a PC, but I am tired of counting blinking LEDs or counting audible beeps in an attempt to program my ESCs. Is there any alternative that does not require the use of a computer? Answer ...

Q-85: Can I wire two small brushless motors into one Castle Creations Phoenix-10 ESC? Answer ...

Q-119:  I just bought my first brushless electric motor and noticed that unlike all my previous ferrite motors, this new motor has three wires coming out of it. My ferrite motors only required two wires.
I also read in the instructions that come with my brushless motor that if it runs backward, swap any two of the three wires to get it to run in the correct direction. What is that all about? Why can’t they just supply a wiring diagram and employ color-coded wires? Answer ...

Q-123: I know that there has been considerable data published recently on home-constructed, small-sized brushless motors. Many of these motors are based on CD drives that came out of personal computers. I read on several of the model nets that someone had designed and built a dual brushless motor that would allow for contrarotating propellers on an aircraft. Would you know of any details on this specialty motor? Answer...
