Default RE: How does a brushless motor work?
ORIGINAL: Red B.
One end of each winding is connected in common and the other end is free to be driven externally. By placing a positive voltage on one coil and ground on another, a pair of coils forms a polarized magnetic field. Current are applied to the windings in pairs in such a way as to force the rotor to turn in the desired direction.

I'm having trouble visualizing how three windings can share a common, and still have a free end to be driven externally, with only three wire comming out of the motor. What am I missing??
