Wow, awesome. So it really is possible. Since doing it AC depends on getting a controller, this makes me ask: How are those expensive EV AC motors, that are paired with expensive EV AC controllers, different from the standard industrial 3 phase motor (besides a $300 vs $7000 price tag)?

What do you mean by stall (not a bad thing)? And what is limiting the rpm in a DC?

Thanks
