I can see that I need more testing on this subject.
One test I made with no rotor ran near the max speed at 44v.
Most motors are built for a specific task based on the max needed
so most of the time a motor ALWAYS needs to produce over half
of that. Dialing back is no problem.
In one test with only 11 strands activated the prime motor current
dropped from 2100ma down to 1700ma and produced power of
it's own. Estimates were 30 watts. Not as good as Matt's.




And save?
And that is putting it nicely.



You mean cogging? Yeah cogging could be bad.
