NO. Alternating current motors are terrible for go karts because the inverter required to power the motor under load is WAY more expensive than a more powerful Direct current motor. For example, 250watt A/C motor may only take 250watts to run, but under load it may require as much as 1000 watts or more to get you up to speed.

What happens if you use synchronous motor in ceiling fans?

Synchronous motors are much more efficient at converting electric power into motion. However, the speed of the motor is controlled by the frequency of the electric supply. So a synchronous motor ceiling fan would be much more efficient, but the speed of the fan would not be controllable, unless frequency controlled power supplies (inverter power) are used.


What kind of simple machine is a ceiling fan?

A ceiling fan is a compound machine because it is made up of multiple simple machines. It typically includes an electric motor (a form of a wheel and axle) that drives the blades (a form of a lever) to create airflow, making it a combination of several simple machines working together.

Who made ceiling fans?

Philip H. Diehl was a German-American mechanical engineer and inventor who held several U.S. patents, including electric incandescent lamps, electric motors for sewing machines and other uses, and ceiling fans.


If electric sopply of ceiling fan is cut off the fan does not immediately stop. Why?

There is no 'brake' on the motor. It simply continues spinning until friction slows it to a stop.
