Voltage regulator

[KD6JDJ at aol.com]

  This bit of information MAY be of interest to thoes of us who want to
homebrew a DC motor control by reducing its voltage input.
  Put forward biased diodes in series with the motor to lower its received
voltage. Each diode will lower the  voltage to the motor by about 3/4 volts. 
  The locked shaft (or stall) torque is greatly improved when diodes are used
in place of resistors.
