Basically, an electric motor’s only job is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, like the turning of a propeller or rotor blade. There are two basic facts that allow electric motors to work: Electric and magnetic fields are related. That is to say, every moving charge produces a magnetic field, and magnetic fields can produce electric charge. Magnets Interact – Magnets will align when placed near to each other. All brushless electric motors basically consist of two magnets. One of them is permanent, the other is a coil of wire that, when charged, becomes a magnet. The motor is designed such that the magnetic fields produced by each of the magnets are always out of alignment, causing the brushless motor axil to rotate. This is similar to what happens when you hold a permanent magnet to a compass – the compass swings position so that it lines up with the magnets field.
