A brushless motor is the driving force behind the efficiency and quiet operation of AC/DC ceiling fans. Unlike traditional brushed motors, which use carbon brushes to conduct electricity, brushless motors employ electronic commutation. This innovative design offers several significant advantages. How Does a Brushless Motor Work? Electronic Commutation: Instead of mechanical brushes, a brushless motor uses electronic circuitry to control the sequence of power to the motor’s windings. This electronic commutation is achieved using sensors or back-EMF (electromotive force) feedback. Magnetic Field Interaction: The stator windings of the motor create a rotating magnetic field. The rotor, containing permanent magnets, is attracted to…

BRUSSELS: Olympic 100 metres champion Julien Alfred completed her perfect season at the Diamond League finals in Brussels on Friday, while Sweden’s undisputed pole vault king Armand Duplantis brought the curtain down on an unbeaten season with another fantastic victory and Jakob Ingebrigtsen secured victory in the 1,500 metres to make up for his Paris hiccup. Alfred, the Olympic gold medallist from St Lucia, led most of the women’s 100 metres but was pushed close to the line by Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith, to finish in 10.88 seconds.
