This article would benefit from an illustration and/or explanation of the sinusoidally distributed stator windings in a brushless AC motor.

Brushless motors running on DC edit

It is a simple fact that a brushless motor requires alternating current in order to turn. It must either have a permanent magnet armature, or a self-excited armature like an induction motor.

While it is possible that the drive electronics are integrated into the motor, making it a *DC powered motor system*, this is not relevant to the discussion about motors.

I've removed the unsupported statement about brushless motors running on direct current. Thomasonline (talk) 07:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
