- asdff 4y agoWe could have general purpose electric motors by now but the corporations are instead pushing proprietary formats that we can't retool ourselves upon us. More money for them this way.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoIf you want a general purpose electric motor, just head on over to your local farm supply store. Lots of them there.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoI have a nice Husqvarna brush cutter where the motor has a failed bearing and they stopped making that model. One of my backburner projects is to electrify it. Current candidate is a small router motor: probably has enough power and it can meet the duty cycle requirements. Like I said in my other post, the biggest issue is the mechanical coupling from motor to device: they're all non-standard.
