What is with this "higher pole motors have more torque"?
For the millionth time, that isn't true at all. If you have two rotors of the same exact size, they both have the same amount of magnetic material, and thus the same maximum magnetic force. Each pole has to be that much smaller in order for there to be that many more poles. right?
