Motor with variable angular speed

AI Thread Summary
A motor with variable angular speed that follows the function f(1/sin(theta)) for angles between 1 to 89 degrees is being sought. Suggestions include using a potentiometer to measure the motor shaft angle and developing circuitry to convert the voltage reading into the required voltage for the motor. Alternatively, a data acquisition card could be used to automate the voltage output based on the potentiometer's readings. The feasibility of building such a system is acknowledged, though the original poster expresses uncertainty about the process. Overall, the discussion focuses on potential solutions for achieving the desired motor functionality.

I am interested in the fllowing issue and I would appreciate any help:
I need a motor that has a variable angular speed. To be more exact: the angular speed needs to be a f(1/sin(theta)) where theta is the angle of rotation varying between 1 to 89 degrees.
Does anyone know if this type of motor exist in the market? or: does anyone know how could I build it myself?
Thank you in advance.

i would guess what you need to do is to measure the angle that the motor shaft is at (using a potentiometer) and then come up with some circutry which would take the voltage reading from the potentiometer and convert it to the voltage you need to have across the motor terminals to achiever the speed you want. or if you didnt want to build circutry you could plug the poteniometer output into some sort of data aquisition card and then write a programme to ouptut a voltage on the aquisitoion card and then wire your motor to this output.
anyhoo i don't know if this is any help. I've never done nething like it!
 
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
