Reading Time: 9 minutesWhat is a DC Motor? A DC motor (Direct Current motor) is a device that converts electrical energy into usable mechanical energy, such as with its rotational energy. It operates on the principle of electromagnetism, where a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force, resulting in motion. How DC Motors Work DC […]
Reading Time: 16 minutesWhat is a Transistor? A transistor is a semiconductor device that serves as a fundamental building block in modern electronics. It is primarily used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power. Transistors are composed of semiconductor materials of either P-type or N-type, where these materials are sandwiched together to form P-N junctions. These junctions […]

Reading Time: 13 minutesHave you ever wondered how electricity goes into your electronic device, swirls around in there, and does something useful? Maybe you’ve thought to yourself, can I control that electricity? If so, how? First, let me tell you, that those questions are excellent, and to help guide you into how electricity is controlled — or to […]
Reading Time: 23 minutesProject Name: The Ultimate DIY 3220-Point Breadboard Project Description: Building a 3220-point solderless breadboard with carrying case that will provide storage capability and contain a variety of power supply options, such as a 12V charge adapter to plug in any wall outlet for instant power supply. Project Difficulty: Moderate Project Note: This project uses a […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteNew project underway! This new project’s prototype phase is complete and all that’s left to do is to begin putting things together soon, and gathering all the media and written material to share here on the site and for our social media accounts. We will be sharing more details with you as the project progresses. […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteWelcome to Motbots! We are currently in the process of adding more content to this site and to all our social media pages – you can check out our Social page here, if you’d like. A new project is currently in the works and will be done soon – a little hint as to what […]
Reading Time: 19 minutesKirchhoff’s second law deals with the conservation of energy around a closed loop series path. We call this law Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law, or KVL, for short. What’s a Closed Loop Series Path? A closed loop series path is where there is a direct path through circuit elements from one point of the circuit around through […]
