AC Motor (Alternating Current):
- AC motors are powered by alternating current, which is the type of electric current that changes direction cyclically.
- They are commonly used in more traditional and conventional hair dryers.
- These motors can be heavier and bulkier than other options.
DC Motor (Direct Current):
- DC motors are powered by direct current, which is an electric current that constantly flows in one direction.
- They are often lighter, more compact and energy efficient than AC motors.
- Dryers with DC motors tend to be lighter and more manageable.
Brushless Motor:
- Brushless motors are powered by direct current, but differ because they do not have mechanical brushes, which are components used in traditional motors to reverse the direction of the magnetic field.
- Without brushes, brushless motors are more efficient, produce less friction and require less maintenance than brushed motors.
- They are often lighter and more durable than traditional motors, and can offer more precise speed control.
The choice of motor type will depend on personal preferences, specific usage needs and the characteristics desired in the hairdryer. Brushless motors, in particular, are considered an advanced technology that offers numerous advantages in terms of performance and durability
