Yes, for sure.
Further, a back-emf is produced, which confirms it

Dear Grumpy,
Battery technology should be irrelevant since the utility buy-back

consider two things, first it results in equivalence which is a constant

This is a quick check of BB motor resistance at 5 different rpms at
low current using 4 runs. Fig. 1 is the circuit.

R1 is 48.4 ohms. The current in the 4 runs was 0.19 A +- 0.01 A. The
voltage drop from P1 to P4 is shown in all runs in CH2,

Michael,
That was a very early thread and I do understand the basic premise of a
4D array, distance as an absolute on the time axis and how two spatially
adjacent stationary objects can be accelerating away from each other temporally
if an equivalence boundary is established -normally

I agree with your point about breakthroughs, but let me correct the

There is a so-called rule of seventy that provides an easy way to measure
the doubling period for a compounded rate.
If there was a 7% rate of return, then the principal would double every ten

When I try to measure the BB motor resistance with a DVM the meter
jumps all over the place, in the neighborhood of 1 k ohms. The mean
value of the jumps depends on where the wheel is positioned. The
eyeballed mean values varied from 0.3 k to 1.8 K. depending on

Looks like Frank Stenger, an old vort, may have identified the likely
cause of the 3 V or so drop. It is something called brush drop
caused by the graphite. It is about 0.5 to 1.0 volts per brush, and
for two bearings, two sides to each ball, that's 4 brushes.
