Winding resistance of large motor vs small motor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the unexpected increase in winding resistance of a small DC motor compared to a large DC motor after running both at maximum voltage and speed. The smaller motor, which initially had higher winding resistance, exhibited more than double the resistance after five minutes, while the larger motor's resistance remained stable. The motors were tested under similar conditions, including room temperature, but the reason for the disparity in resistance changes is unclear. The user notes that they could not measure the temperature accurately post-operation, which could be a factor in the resistance change. Understanding the underlying causes of this phenomenon may require further investigation into motor design and thermal effects.

Hi guys, I ran a large DC motor and a small DC motor for 5 minutes at max voltage/max speed. Took the readings for before running it and after running it and somehow the smaller motor after five minutes of running at max volt/max speed has more than twice the winding resistance where as the larger motor's winding resistance stays almost the same ? The smaller motor had more winding resistance to start with anyway, why is that ? (The max volt for both motors is 15volts but one is a high and the other is a low power motor)

I don't understand why something like this would happen I ran them in the same room and probably the same room temperature.

Measure the temperature of the motor before and after.
 
Well I don't have access to the motors anymore, it was in a lab session I do remember touching them and felt the same temperature but not sure.
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
