Brushless DC electric motor

A brushless DC electric motor is a special kind of motor that uses electricity to create motion without using brushes.

Let's start with a regular electric motor. It has a coil of wire that spins around and around inside a magnetic field, and this creates the motion we want. But, it needs something called brushes to make sure the electricity gets to the right part of the coil at the right time.

But, with a brushless DC motor, we don't need these brushes. Instead, there are magnets on the outside of the motor that create a magnetic field. Then, there are coils of wire inside the motor that spin around and around in the magnetic field. This creates the motion, just like in a regular electric motor.

But, the really cool thing is that the brushless DC motor has something called an electronic controller. This controller knows exactly when to send electricity to the right part of the coil at the right time, so we don't need brushes to do it.

So, in summary, a brushless DC electric motor is a special kind of motor that uses magnets, coils of wire, and an electronic controller to make motion without needing brushes to send electricity to the right parts.
