Best design for a 300 watt permanent magnet brushed DC motor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on two distinct designs for a 300-watt permanent magnet brushed DC motor. The first design features three electromagnets arranged on a triangular rotor with two arc permanent magnets, allowing for a stronger magnetic field but energizing only one magnet at a time. The second design employs multiple electromagnets placed on opposite ends of the rotor, which, while producing lower strength per electromagnet, allows for simultaneous force application from both sides. The conversation highlights the trade-offs between torque production and efficiency in these designs.

I have noticed there are a few designs for permanent magnet brushed DC motor, but I can't seem to find the benefits and downsides of either one.

The first one (first attachment) uses three electromagnets placed on a triangular rotor. There are two arc permanent magnets on the outside. In this design, I believe only one magnet can get energized at a time, but the field created will be stronger than the ones in the design described below.

The second one (second attachment) uses multiple electromagnets, separated, and placed on opposite ends of the rotor, and two regular permanent magnets placed adjacent to the energized coils. Assuming only one electromagnet get energized at a time, the electromagnet of each side will have a lower strength compared to the electromagnet of the design above, but there will be a force enacting on both sides.

Using which design would be capable of producing a higher, more constant torque? Which would one be generally more efficient?

only adding!
Praseodymium and made magnet, titanium Carbeto
Enhances the power of rare Earth magnets, another novelty, the electromagnets will be improved with iron nitride, ten times smaller, the size of transformers, will be a great advantage:wink::partytime:
