Soft start-up on DC Motor, would a Thermistor work?

But the problem is extremely common.

One does not even have to think too hard, DC motors exhibit the effect on an extremely frequent basis.

Simple observation is all that's required, One could start to analyse, but a practical approach is often implemented without even a knowledge of Ohm's law, got any kids?

No, just had the benefit of an education provided before all the "improvements" became routine.

Clock motors often started in the wrong direction. There was a single ratchet "tooth" and pawl that engaged therein, a common problem was the rachet or pawl which was made of flexible fibre used to break. The clock went backwards.

The same type of motor without the pawl/ ratchet is used in a lot of microwaves, rherefore the rotation can start in either direction.

The drive has nothing to do with stall current though, the sychronous motor has such a large number of windings, One could superglue the second hand to the dial and not take the grid offline.

Another priceless example of staggering ignorance.

A product of the British educational system?
