The big advantage of brushed DC motors versus brushless DC motors is that they are inexpensive and easy to use; simply connect one up to DC power at the appropriate voltage.

In this study, a supercapacitor (SC)/battery hybrid energy storage unit (HESU) is designed with battery, SC and metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors.
The invention obtains good control performance in braking, decelerating, accelerating and constant speed running modes of the brushless direct current motor, and the super capacitor is used as an energy buffer device to well relieve the influence of frequent charging and discharging on the service life of the storage battery.
In a real DC motor drive system, bulk capacitors are a common necessity. Although final system performance requires detailed analysis and practical testing, we can use rules-of-thumb and simple simulations to estimate the bulk capacitor sizing as a starting point.
A Lithium-ion (Li)battery and ultra-capacitor as hybrid sources are connected to DC-DC boost converter for balancing power among the sources and on requirement, sources could be connected to the Brushless DC motor (BLDC) used in electric vehicle. The system is developed using MATLAB/Simulink.
So the answer to your question is yes; this approach is used in battery-powered electric cars. Batteries are preferred to capacitors because of their ability to store more energy, but a large capacitor bank is basically a battery.
In this study, a supercapacitor (SC)/battery hybrid energy storage unit (HESU) is designed with battery, SC and metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors.
This paper discusses the development of a Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS), consisting of a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery and supercapacitor (SC). The designed system is integrated with a PV system to meet the energy requirements of a Brushless DC motor (BLDC).
It is common to include large bulk capacitors as part of the motor driver design. These bulk capacitors act as a local reservoir of electrical charge to smooth out the motor current variation.
These bulk capacitors act as a local reservoir of electrical charge to smooth out the motor current variation. Figure 1-1 shows a typical evaluation board with the two large electrolytic capacitors on the right side of the board acting as bulk capacitors for the DC motor driver.
It will work at first: An uncharged capacitor will short out the motor, hard-braking. The capacitor will begin to charge, and the motor speed will drop, but the motor speed will eventually drop below the capacitor voltage. The braking will cease, because no more current means no more braking torque.
Yes, you can use electrolytic capacitors to store charge, but the problem is, how are you going to get that charge out of the motor while braking, and then source current from the capacitors to drive the motor while charging.
Having more bulk capacitance is generally beneficial, while the disadvantages are increased cost and physical size. This application note discusses general guidelines for selecting the amount of capacitance needed in a motor drive system. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
In a ideal DC motor system, there is no impedance between the motor drive circuit and the power source, which can be modeled as an ideal constant voltage source. In this ideal for case, there is not any variation in the motor supply voltage.
