Of course, if you use hall effect sensors it would be easier. Some folks
add hall effect sensors to outrunners, it works fine.

It will probably start from rest, certainly with a soft-starting VFD,
and will run synchronously.
However, running synchronous
100K / 60 * 2(poles) = electrical rpms. You'll need to run the pwm well
over 100Khz to do this. The lowly dspic33f mc motor series will struggle to
do this, let alone any additional processing.
I think there is something else though, it seems that a bldc has less
torque from a fixed frequency tha
While 10 RPM is pretty impressive mechanicalvise, it is only 1700 Hz on
a two-pole motor. A BLDC is similar to a syncronous three phase motor that
was used much for really high power apps in ancient times, maybe even today.
Typical example is a city water supply pump. They had to be brought up
I doubt any vfd would handle high rpms anyway. I think you would need to
stay with a 2 pole for those rpm's, or you would have to have a pretty
fancy driver. Bldc's aren't the right wave shape for vfds.

Maybe that's why it didn't work when I tried using a VFD on a normal
brushless moto

Another advantage of inrunners is that you can directly cool the stator
which is where you're generating all the heat. On bigger motors (Im
talking from forktruck/golfcar motor size experience), DC armatures had a
similar problem (as outrunners). You're dumping a lot of heat into
something thats

It has been mentioned in this thread already, but I think it can be
clarified.
Outrunners when they appeared were a blessing for the R/C plane builder,
since a propeller wants to run at speeds below 10 000 RPM for best efficency
and earlier motors did maybe 20-30 000 RPM so they had to be geared.

Can you? I thought they were brushless?
A VFD will rotate them, but the phase lead will be about zero, so the
