Re: [TCML] How To Turn A Vacuum Cleaner Motor Into A Synchronous Motor

[Gary Lau <glau1024@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was going to post this:  I thought that washing mashine motors were
induction motors - not brush/universal motors?  But I've not looked
closely/recently.

But before hitting Send, I Googled "Washing machine motor".  There appears
to be both 1725 induction-types, and then 10,000+ RPM types.  Perhaps
regionally?

Of significant interest was this link to a Chinese motor vendor, advertizing
3000RPM synchronous washing machine motors:
