Yet another Technic 9V motor comparison update
I have updated my <http://www.philohome.com/motors/motorcomp.htm motor
comparison page>
You'll find data on the new clear case motor included in
<http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4094 4094 motor movers set>.
<<http://www.philohome.com/motors/r47154-t.jpg>>
There is also a new comparison: how to maximize mechanical power extracted from
a single RCX output
And as a by-product see the method I used to externally power the RCX from an
external regulated supply.

Hi Pixel,

I think you're a bit harsh with this motor. Granted, no load current is much
higher, but here we depend on friction alone so it is not very significant.
Under load, current is indeed higher, but speed too, so mechanical power is
actually greater. In other words, with the same final speed you could gear down
more thus lightening load and current.
The significant figure is efficiency, which is "only" 20% lower (54% -> 43%).
And since you can inject more current in this motor you can get a higher
mechanical output power - about 35% more.
I really think this motor is a good, rugged one. The flat bottom and axle hole
shaft also make it easier to use...
