    Furnace ECM motor usable for an E-Bike?

    I too was surprised to find 3 magnets, guessing it was due to its design being a low rpm/high torque... If the admin wishes to combine these threads or can great idea I too don't have a specific use for this motor but who knows it might wind up on a kids go cart...this motor has a single...

    Furnace ECM motor usable for an E-Bike?

    Thanks for the cross link. Yes they are magnets but not horribly strong I looked back at my rotor bar/ stator slot diagram and yes these small motors often operated with odd number rotor bars to stator slots, perhaps this also works for magnetic rotors?

    new motor to tinker with...

    Very curious.. strange that it has only 3 magnets? If it has 6 teeth per phase I would expect more poles, at least an even number :? I have a friend that does a lot of HVAC work and will see if he has any of these laying around and check what inside them. I thought it was funny there was 3...

    Buick Lacrosse e-assist moto-alternator

    Interesting I would have thought the PM rotor would be the way to go along with it being wound as (?)36 volt making it easier to gain rpm through voltage change... am I off in my thinking? In what ways are they better and would the controllers be cheaper for the A/C gen2? PS thanks for the advice
