As a brushless alternator, it puts out AC which is then rectified by semiconductors, passive VS active rectification almost certainly that is to say it uses some form of diode to do the rectification.
But as a motor you must switch the polarity as the rotor turns, so you must 'commutate', a function normally done by brushes or a sensing circuit with switches of some sort. -Ken _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
