Can I snub a small electric motor without any ill effects?
well the tittle says it all.
I bought a small electric rotary tool and I would like to know if there is a chance that by adding a capacitor to the electric terminals the motor can pick up a bit more hump. Its a small motor so I'm just curious to know if it can be done.
Its not like I want to turn it into a torque monster or anything like that just a little hump would do.
12vdc@ 16000rpms. IDK Amp rate.

Adding a Large Electrolytic Capacitor (2 Farads; the ones used
in car audio) will work well. It will keep the voltage constant and
will aid in not letting your tool slow down as you use it. Simply
wire it in parallel with the 12 Volts DC line (positive to positive;
etc). This should work well. It will not increase the speed of
your tool, but should help keep it from slowing down (too much)
as you use it. Feel free to e-me. Happy Holidays!

Why do not you attempt utilising the potential of prayer to make the airplane fly? only kidding. No such element as a magnetic motor. Rubber band planes are straightforward, yet there's a reason in the back of that. Rubber bands have the suitable potential and potential density, different than for compressed air, yet you're actually not allowed to apply that. After rubber bands comes steel springs, such as you may discover in a mouse capture.
