Re: Breaking/Coasting and Jaguar and Talons.

An easy way to demonstrate the difference between coast and brake mode to students:

1: Take a CIM motor, preferably one with a wheel on it, so you can see how fast it spins.

2: Put the leads of the CIM motor onto a battery and let it spin up.

3: For coasting, simply remove the leads and watch it spin down

4: For brake, remove the leads from the battery then quickly apply the two CIM motor leads together. Observe the immediate stop.
