Multiple Rotor Motor: Possible or Not?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of a multiple rotor motor design that incorporates two dipole motors positioned at different angles, potentially functioning like a tripole motor with an additional pole. The concept involves having both rotors wrapped separately but powered by the same current and voltage, raising concerns about whether the similar poles would repel each other, causing mechanical failure. The intent behind this design is to generate significant torque at low current, rather than producing heat. Participants express a need for clearer visualizations to better understand the proposed mechanism. Overall, the viability of this innovative motor design remains uncertain due to the challenges posed by magnetic repulsion.

what i mean by this is a basic dipole motor, but with two of them side by side set at different angles. it's kind of hard to explain. but try to think of a tripole motor, but with an extra pole. then keep both of extra poles at different angles than the other two (so maybe 90º apart, or smaller, smaller would work better for my ACTUAL question, so think like 12º apart), then move the two extra poles over horizontally. so its like two rotors side by side, simply at different angles. both of these rotors are wrapped seperately, but with the same current/voltage running through them. would this be possible? or because of the repolusion between similar poles would the rotors simply push each other apart until they broke?

if you need more help visualizing, tell me, i can maybe draw something up and post it some how. or if this is in the wrong forum, please someone tell me!

until then, thanx!

It is kinda like a standard single rotor motor with a fundimental and a strong 5th harmonic, fighting to rotate the motor in reverse. Is the purpose to generate heat?, there are much simpler methods.
 
no the purpose isn't to genrate heat. its more to creat a large amount of torque at a low current.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
