Hello all, I am trying to power a DC motor from my cordless drill and I
am having some troubles with it. First not that I have used two different motors one rated at 14.4 V and one at 18 V. I am trying to run the motor from a 120VAC to 15VDC adapter. When I do this, the motor runs, but at very low speeds and torque. Any ideas? I know the adapter is rated at 300 mA. Do you think the motor needs more current?
If this adapter will not work, how could I power the motor without using a battery? I do not want to use an AC motor because I have found
speed control for DC mmotors is much easier that for AC. Anyway thats it. Thanks in advance for any help. Lucas
