Ivan G asked:
I want to control the speed of a small electric motor. I’m making a small hobby project, what parts would I need to do this, besides the motor? Also should I use a brushless, or regular motor?

put a rheostat in series with it. The value and wattage of the rheostat will depend on the current drawn and the voltage of the motor.

Well its a small motor or else i would have recommened a motor-drive which gives you same amount of tourqe but less RPM. If you lower your voltage it will have less rpm but not as much torque only way to do this is to put a gear box in. or gears
It depends. Is it a DC or AC motor? You can control a DC motor by varying the voltage applied to it. AC motors need a circuit with Triac’s in it to vary the time when the AC is applied to the motor. There are electronic kits on the internet that do this for you. To control a brushless motor you need to use pulses to vary the speed. Varying the voltage level won’t work. You control the speed by varying the time the voltage is applied to it.
AC motors are more efficient than DC motors and requires less maintennance ‘
the good thing about brushless motors is that they last longer compared to brushed ones-*.
electric motors would sometimes overheat if they are not properly ventilated:”`
the best thing about AC motors is that they require less maintanennance.`”
brushless motors are great because they require less maintennance and last longer-*”
electric motors are great if you just do some proper maintennance on them~-;
AC motors are really more efficient than DC motors, requires less maintennance too.’,
brushless motors can outperform those motors that still uses contact brushes–”
electric motors are great, they really help keep manual jobs easier~,”
compuer fans are always made up of brushless motors because they last very long ,,
electric motors can consume lots of electrical energy but they are very useful “
