This effect was utilized in early alternating current electric motors.
Each ship had two turbo generators that fed current to the propulsion motors on her propeller shaft.
Conventional batteries and direct current motors can be used.
Another way of changing speed of a direct current motor is to change the voltage applied to the armature.
Subsequent train orders are using alternating current motors.
The current motor can be driven about 180 revolutions per minute forward and about 100 r.p.m. backward.
Rb1 was equipped with direct current (DC) motors with higher efficiency and thus more economical.
It was powered by dual alternating current motors and lead acid batteries.
Modern systems use hydraulic rams powered by a heavy alternating current electric motor.
When applied, it draws approximately the same current the car's starter motor would draw during cranking.
