Well obviously from the comment above you DO NOT know what a brushless
motor is, because if you apply DC to it, it melts.

It needs a controller which is usually externnal to the motor.


The last 12V fan was brushless and was designed for 12V DC. There was no
external controller and when I applied 12V DC to it it didn't melt.

Perhaps you should get your brushless DC motors from more reputable
sources that include their own commutation, electronic or otherwise.

You are harry's sock puppet who believes that you should not apply DC to
a DC motor.
