Introduction
Brushless, brushed, AC, and DC - all these are different
=Brushless AC (Induction)
Induction motors are brushless - [1]
3 phase motor control has significant advantages over 1 phase in AC induction motors:
- Self-starting
- More efficient
- Higher power factor - better aligment of applied power to used power - better coordination of windings with power application.

- At each point of time, 3 phases are active, but offset by 120 degrees:

There is a 60 degree dead spot in the 120 degree (instead of 180 degree) mode of operation, allowing time for commutation. Makes sense - that could allow for energy saving in transition as commutation is occuring (by turning power off)
- In the Colombian paper, the coils are run 60 degrees out of phase.
