Brushless motor

A brushless motor comprising a rotor with a permanent magnet, a stator with stator windings disposed around the rotor at spaced intervals, a plurality of first control means each associated with respective ones of said stator windings for producing an output in accordance with the rotational position of the rotor, and an electric control circuit for controlling a current flowing through each of the stator windings in accordance with the output of said first control means, wherein said electric control circuit comprises a plurality of transistors connected in series with respective stator windings, the control terminals of said transistors being connected with the output of respective ones of said first control means, voltage comparator means for comparing a reference voltage and the voltage induced in each of said stator windings in accordance with the rotation of said rotor, second control means for controlling said first control means in response to the output of said voltage comparator means, and bypass circuit means connected in parallel with each of said stator windings for allowing a current due to a voltage induced in each of the stator windings to flow back to the stator windings, said bypass circuit comprising a constant voltage element to eliminate a voltage level higher than the level of said voltage induced in accordance with the rotation of the rotor.
