Question:

will a ac motor work on dc power?

Will the motor work fine?Not work at all? Work but not efficiently?

Answer:

No an AC motor will not work on DC voltage. AC motors are designed to use the alternations of the current to produce torque and there by creating rotating movement. They do have special application motors that will work with both
No it will most likely blow your motor.
It depends on it's internal structure of stator and rotor.A very important part of a DC motor is it's brushes and commutate system.A DC motor need them to have a continuous rotation and torque. But if you use an electronic brushing system for ac motor maby you can have a dc motor too. but not originally.as I told the reluctance many other things are important. according this explanation most of the time you won't be able to drive an AC motor by DC supply.
