Also interesting is their capability to produce their full Torque output at 0 RPM. For applications requiring high torque for "station keeping", this is crucial, and is pretty unique to SRM (Switched Reluctance Machine) motors.

I've been quite interested in repurposing the little Dyson "digital motor", but I suspect that a complete drive system redesign would be necessary to enable full variable RPM control (ie. 0-max, in both directions).

Question for turbofail: did your project happen to use the SRM motor from the Neptune front-load washers, or some other motor?

It was a custom-made SRM made by someone else. They were intending to use it in an electric vehicle.
