Thanks for all this, but a lot of it I got from the "Power, speed, and torque... AGH" thread. My question still stands - exactly why does the back EMF sink the input voltage? Is EMF a voltage that travels the opposite direction the incoming voltage travels, or is it just a force that reduces the pressure of the incoming voltage? If the latter, then I don't see the relationship between this force and the voltage. I basically need some help on the physics of the EMF.
