Harold, I appreciate your post. Thank you.

By the way, the brush itself acts as a very effective centrifuge for
air, in the sense that it throws a lot of it off, radially. So, adding
some clever shrouding around it, would probably move enough air to
cool this TEAO (totally enclosed, air over cooled) motor enough to run
continuously.

It's Very Clever to blow **** off a wire brush all over a motor!

If you were smart enough to think about it, you would have realized
that the brush would pull clean air, draw it around the motor body,
and then expel it radially. If you have a furnace where you live, try
looking in there to see if you can find a centrifugal fan. That's the
principle.

The opposite action that you alluded to, is more or less impossible,
without doing very weird shrouding. So, try to think again, if you are
smart enough, you will realize the stupidity of your comment.

As an icing on the cake, regarding just how dumb your comment was,
the motor is "totally enclosed", which means that it was made
purposely for dirty conditions.

So, it seems that today was not your best day.
