Math proof for why homopolar motors are the best and all the other ones are horrible, stupid and wasteful
So I've been playing around with the idea of homopolar motor and I had an interesting thought experiment I wanted to see the results of. So I hopped onto FEMM 4.2 and drew up 2 flat parallel N52
That's a good way to describe why motors have power factors and cannot be 100% efficient. It's also why you can't run a generator to power a motor to run the same generator. I can't tell you how many times, as a master electrician, I've had to shut that idea down.
