Brushless DC motors are common place in RC Vehicles. They are small, light, fast and can be inexpensive. [Raynerd] wanted a new spindle for his CNC machine and thought that a brushless DC motor ...

[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 ...

First, Honda engineers developed a DC brushless motor that was small enough to be used in a car. Back then, no commercially available electric motor was small, yet powerful enough to propel a vehicle.
