Soft commutated direct current motor [summary of proposed paper]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:771128
A novel soft commutated direct current (DC) motor is introduced. The current of the commutated coil is intentionally drained before the brush disconnects the coil. This prevents the spark generation that normally occurs in conventional DC motors. A similar principle can be applied for DC generators.
