Ohhhh god this is trippy. But it's fun to watch!

I think the fact that it runs at 1000 hz has more of an affect on computer performance rather than the color script. I've just now realized, it operates very similar to the way a 4 pole brushless motor would operate, now that you've color coded everything.

Regarding "I think the fact that it runs at 1000 hz has more of an affect on computer performance rather than the color script.":

I agree. I've done some experimenting and it appears that coloring the rotor has little effect on the performance. Coloring the stator only needs to be done once and then the code can be deleted because the stator colors don't change. If you decide to color your scene, then I will delete this one.

You can keep yours. I don't feel like coloring mine because it looks kind of odd if you use it in a vehicle. But I like this because it demonstrates how it operates!
