The discussion revolves around finding a specific type of DC motor with an outer rotor configuration, akin to the design of computer cooling fans or ceiling fans. Participants explore the characteristics and availability of such motors, focusing on their power and size requirements.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the availability of the requested motor type. There are competing views regarding the classification of motors and the feasibility of finding a suitable DC motor with an outer rotor.
Participants express uncertainty about the definitions and classifications of motors, particularly distinguishing between AC and DC types. The discussion also highlights the need for specific requirements to narrow down the search for the desired motor.
Any idea where I could find such a thing on the internet?

PC cooling fans and ceiling fans are not DC motors. They are AC motors. I know lots of places where you can find a AC motor and controller which will have a DC input to the controller.
