      I’m pretty sure you have to fire at least 4 igbts simultaneously and shortly there after all 6 to recreate the three phase sine wave relation ship due to winding the stator in delta. Energizing 1 phase will put the other two phases in series and in parallel with the energized phase…Right?

      I'm blown away by the performance,remarkably strong-but what has most sold me is how much less upkeep they require. It has simplified my life a great deal.

    I first came across them, as rack mounted fans that featured diminutive size compared to commutator designs in a location where synchronous motors could not have worked due to a lack of an A/C supply. You provided a description that was both wonderfully clear and devoid of any complexity. Essentially, the motor is always playing-chase-my-tail with the alternating fields generated by the different phases. I found it a fascinating use of techniques allowing relatively simply implementations.

    I really enjoy things like this. You have a great way of explaining things. Back when I was growing up we did not have the internet most definitely did not have computers. None of that stopped me from learning on how things work.
    At that time radio shack was a great place to find things that helped you to learn about electronics. They had different type of electrical kits that you put together and it explains what each part did.
    Every year they used to come out with a catalog and from that I could find different components and build things from scratch.
    As I was getting older my attention turned to other places. For a very long time I never messed around with electronics. All that changed about 10 years ago. I broke my back and I started looking for things I could do to keep me occupied and I made my way back to electronics. Of course everything is completely different than it was when I were growing up.

    My first experience with a brushless DC motor came in 1978 when I built a floppy disc controller. The head positioning mechanism was driven by a brushless DC motor called a stepper motor. I can step the motor at a constant rate, or I could step the motor with acceleration, negative or positive. Steppers are marvelous devices that can accomplish things you couldn't do with a standard DC motor. For instance, you could hold the motor in a very specific position over a given track, and you can't do that with a standard DC motor. If you energize one coil it will lock the head in place and it will not move in or out.

      I made tooling to wind them on my two pole powered winder. 70% time reduction for high voltage windings but not faster for low voltage because of cycle time resetting the stator on it vs horizontal vice tooling.

    You really explained this well. Few people appreciate how fascinating this science really is. The tiniest little motor I have seen is in my drones. Amazing, and far superior to the larger, brushed motors in my other drones. Conversions to E-bikes are one of the best ways to learn the concepts of brushless motors. Of course, dealing with DIY robots, these motors have their uses, along with their cousins the servo motors. I have been playing around with these things for years, but when someone asks me to explain whats going on inside, I can never do it properly. You have been a great help to me, and thank you.

When you lift the platter you can see a magnet ring under it which is the same thing as that outer casing that spins. And around the spindle shaft are the coil windings.

    Very professional, I've seen these videos and worked with all motors for over 20 years, prior to chasing software nonsense. Where've I used BLDC motors? I was in automation/motion control and did applications in everything from manufacturing of knives, wood paneling to assembling of planes to candies. I miss it but once you're 40, you're out, and there's very little manufacturing anymore. Everything was custom and new when I was involved, now new is outsourcing to Shenzhen instead of Malaysia.

  • @power-max
    @power-max 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great video, but this topic considers only one type of control algorithm, sensor less 6-step which has some disadvantages. This algorithm is the most basic and closely emulates the mechanical commutator. Sensored Direct Torque Control and Field Oriented Control are the methods of choice for professional motor applications. They don't have problems at zero RPM.
    I would have cut out the whole section about the interface between the motor controller and the controlling device. 1-2ms PWM is only used in the RC hobby. And even that is obsolete now, replaced with more advanced protocols like OneShot and Dshot. Motor controllers in other applications (eBikes, EVs, industry) will use analog voltages or digital communication over RS232, RS485, CANbus, etc)

    • @power-max
      @power-max 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@jarkstt control over a "BLDC" can get quite advanced. So the controllers should be optimized for a specific job. Odrive uses BLDC motors with tight positional control in a closed loop (feedback from a high resolution encoder. The interface for that is similar to stepper motor controllers since the target application is CNC.
      EV's on the other hand do not need tight positional control, instead the throttle controls the torque of the motor, which indirectly controls the velocity of the vehicle, it's a second-order system with the pilot or driver being the thing that closes the loop (driving). This application requires the motor operate in all 4 quadrants (spins both ways, and with regenerative braking) With FOC you specify the desired torque and the controller adjusts the current in the phases to maintain generated field 90° ahead of the rotor and uses a PI control loop to regulate the current to achieve desired torque. Then optionally another control loop governs this whole system to regulate speed. This works until the motor reaches a speed where the back EMF equals or exceeds the supply voltage. Then the requested torque can no longer be achieved since it would require either higher voltage or field weakening, which some BLDCs can do by increasing the space between the rotor magnets and stator, common on the solar car motors. Another method of field weakening to increase max speed is to change the angle of the stator field so as to cancel out some of the flux from the permanent magnets, but this consumes more power and is inefficient.

    Great video! I'm curious about one thing, though-- as the magnetic field rotates due to the constant pushing and pulling of polarity, is there a difference between the pushing vs. the pulling force? Just wondering if one is stronger than the other or if the speed of rotation renders any difference to be negligible...

    • @bartomiej9807
      @bartomiej9807 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the currency is the same (which should be at this moment) and distance is the same (which is basic requirement for creating an engine) there should be no difference in force between push and pull forces as they are just reactions to the same physical values but with opposite vector of the force.
      Correct me if I'm wrong :)

    • @johnrobholmes

    The most surprising spot I found a brush-less motor is in a high velocity floor fan.

    I made the mistake of getting a brush motor trimmer to use with my power rotary scissors. This created some interesting burning smells, and killed the battery in 15 minutes. I got the more expensive, brushless version - same battery etc. and good lord - WHAT a difference! The battery lasts over an hour now, the speed throttle is more precise, and of course - no burning smell. Definitely more torque. I’m going to be sure to get only brushless tools from now on.

    Outrunners are mostly seen on ebikes with direct drive rear wheel motors, but they can be difficult to cool properly if over 3-6 kW. Magnetic stator oil and cooling fins are then used when tuned.
    Then there are also axial bldc motors, quite exotic.
