I was thinking it over again and came to a more detailed explanation. The motor produces a direct current when you turn the drum by hand. That means the poles (plus and minus) change when you turn it clockwise and counterclockwise. I guess the explanation is, when the current flow is in the wrong direction (semiconductors ?) it may go through a resistor and therfore the brake effect. I would not do that too often because you could burn out the part that acts as a resistor. |
