100k rpm thats only 1666 rev/sec - that does not seem super fast or anything for something so small.

It has a turbine on it - direct coupled by the look of it - I wonder if it rotates the turbine at that speed - or if it slows down as it loads up - it's seems a big turbine to be doing that sort of speed - it would move a huge amount of air at that speed.

It's hard to see from the pic - but it looks like it only has one coil on it - it needs more than one to start rotating - so maybe it does have 2 or 3.

Anyway awesome - good to see the move to brushless technology in these medium size appliances - previously the domain of the old series wound universal motor.


Me too!
