Abstract :
The paper presents a very simple and inexpensive variable speed electronic motor fed with pulsating DC current, which is produced by a power converter using just one or two power switches. The motor has high torque density and a single predetermined direction of starting rotation. Recuperative braking and in certain circumstances electronic speed reversal is possible
