[ARC5] Dynamotor Questions

[Tom Lee]

One possible gotcha is the lossiness of the core at ac. Motors designed 
for operation on pure dc are generally not designed to minimize ac 
losses, of course, so may exhibit substantial losses at 60Hz (losses at 
harmonics add some to the headache, too).  We could speculate all day 
long about such possibilities, but the only way to know whether these 
are serious or minor in your particular case is simply to try it.
