A Battery-Run Pulsed Motor with Inherent Dynamic Electronic Switch Control

A new type of battery-run brushless ferrite-magnet dc motor system is described. Its rotor part consists of a few permanent ceramic (ferrite) magnets uniformly spread on the rim of a disk (wheel) and the stator part consists of electromagnets placed in such a way that when energized, they always form a repulsive couple to rotate the disk. A sensor coil is placed to give an induced pulse signal, which acts as an inherent dynamic switching time control for the automatic electronic control system. Control of speed, brake system, and safety measures are also discussed. Experimental values for the present system are given. Some possible applications are suggested.
