The dynamic braking on DC lawnmowers is accomplished by the "shorting"
the motor with a length of wire, believe it or not.
When you turn it off, the power switch on the handle disconnects the
battery from the motor and connects a "resistor" to the motor which is
simply a bundled hank of
Curious.
All corded mowers I assume used AC brushed motors and hence
would work just fine on DC as well. But I assume running such
universal motors on DC is more efficient than running a universal
brushed motor on AC.
So is there an efficiency factor? If the universal AS/DC brushed motor
ran

If memory serves, Lee Hart did something similar with small Gates Cyclon

Friends,
I have a quick question about figuring out the current capacity of a
Consumer-marketed LiOn battery.
I have been "driving" a small used B Lawn Hog mower for a number of years.
A few years ago, I changed the switch in the handle, and now the rectifier
needs to be replaced.
While I am
