1Capacitor — This article is about the electronic component. For the physical phenomenon, see capacitance. For an overview of various kinds of capacitors, see types of capacitor. Capacitor Modern capacitors, by a cm ruler Type Passive …
2electric motor — motor (def. 4). [1885 90] * * * Introduction any of a class of devices that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy, usually by employing electromagnetic phenomena. Most electric motors develop their mechanical torque by the… …
3Motor capacitor — A motor capacitor,[1][2] such as a start capacitor or run capacitor, including a dual run capacitor,[2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of an electric motor to create a rotating magnetic field. It is… …
4Motor controller — A motor controller is a device or group of devices that serves to govern in some predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor.[1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor,… …
5AC motor — An AC motor is an electric motor that is driven by an alternating current. It consists of two basic parts, an outside stationary stator having coils supplied with AC current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to… …

7Brushless DC electric motor — A microprocessor controlled BLDC motor powering a micro remote controlled airplane. This external rotor motor weighs 5 grams, consumes approximately 11 watts (15 millihorsepower) and produces thrust of more than twice the weight of the plane …
8Linear motor — A linear motor or linear induction motor is essentially a multi phase alternating current (AC) electric motor that has had its stator unrolled so that instead of producing a torque (rotation) it produces a linear force along its length. The most… …
9Centrifugal switch — A centrifugal switch is an electric switch that operates using the centrifugal force created from a rotating shaft, most commonly that of an electric motor or gasoline engine. The switch is designed to activate or de activate as a function of the …
10Rangekeeper — Rangekeepers were electromechanical fire control computers used primarily during the early part of the 20th century. They were sophisticated analog computers whose development reached its zenith following World War II, specifically the Computer… …
