I've been trying to reverse the direction of an AC fan motor without taking it apart and changing things.
It doesn't have any brushes, it is just a solid core inside an electromagnet. Looking at the surface of the core, it has steel bars in a step pattern.
I want to control is with a uC in both directions. I'm thinking it might be possible to reverse it if I change the 60Hz frequency to perhaps 120Hz- but if anyone knows, they could save me lots of trouble : )
