Summary

While brushless motors are well known for their versatility and efficiency, the distracting 'ticking' noise they make during commutation has made them unsuitable for certain applications. At the Northern Territory Centre for Energy Research, a system has been developed to maintain motor efficiency while reducing noise generation. This system was targeted for application in high efficiency ceiling fans and is capable of both eliminating the 'ticking' sound associated with brushless motors and reducing traditional energy consumption by 76%.
