I was told that a DC motor would only become a generator if magnets were placed on the armature. I can't remember the last time that I took apart a DC motor, but I seem to remember that the armature is already magnetic, and that the windings are around it. Could anybody explain how the motor is made up so that I don't have to take any of my toys apart?
Stop talking about it and do it already!!!!!
