I have tried to figure out the basics of how a motor works for the last 3 years. Actually, the volts, amps, and number of turns
resulting in motor Kv and torque. A couple of weeks ago I watched a video by the kid who designed the Zero motor and he said that the
only thing that causes torque is amps.

Then I said wait a minute, every time I increase the voltage to the motor I get more power, but then realized that more volts
'electrical pressure' would cause more amps and therefore more torque. Today I realised that adding more turns to a motors poles
would mean more electrons flowing around the pole causing more torque. I still don't understand the Kv going up and down with
more or less turns but that is coming next. I am slow, but am determined to understand everything I can.
