Using a Servo motor as load on a system

AI Thread Summary
A servo motor can be used as a load in a system, effectively simulating a dead weight. When connecting a second motor to apply load, it is crucial to consider whether it will receive current or run in reverse, as this can impact the first motor's performance. Using another motor as a load may lead to overheating or damage if not properly managed. Electric dynamometers are relevant for understanding how to measure and control the load applied by the motor. Proper configuration and understanding of the system dynamics are essential to avoid burning out the motor.

Can a Servo motor (or any electric motor) be used as a load on a system ? meaning can it reprisent for example a certain dead weight ?

If we had a motor driving some gears connected to the shaft of the motor, In order to apply a certain load on the system could i put another motor on the other end ? will that burn the motor ? how would the load be applied should the second motor receive current ? or run in reverse ?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
