                            Motor power
                       changes by doubling
                         the input voltage.






















                                    the current, increases the heat by a factor of four! Stalling the motor will cause the
                                    motors to overheat and be seriously damaged in a short period of time. Nothing is
                                    free in the world of physics.

                          by doubling the
                          applied voltage.
