A commutator less DC motor is nothing but a self controlled synchronous motor is being widely used in industries for high speed and large capacity.
The speed of the machine is tied to the power supply frequency and the number of poles the machine has. It becomes impractical to make a round rotor machine with many poles, so machines that spin at low revolutions will typically be salient designs. A two or four pole machine could be round rotor designs.
Theoritical torque speed curve for a synchronous machine will be a vertical line located vertical to the synchrounous speed at x axis, from starting torque to stalling torque value. This is because theoritically synchronous motors are not self starting. Practically however they start as induction motors and at near synchrounous speed the excitation is switched on. Anand Sekhar
A synchronous motor is not self starting.However when it is provided with some prime mover ,which rotates it up to 80% of sync. speed,then it continues to rotate at sync.speed even after prime mover is removed.It happens so because rotor poles are locked with rotating magnetic field and hence the speed is always synchronous.
By definition a synchronous generator must be synchronous. If it is not "locked in" it is not a synchronous generator, but an induction machine.

It is that torque which at the synchronous speed of the machine under consideration would develop a power of 1 watt

A Comet washing machine is a machine which is used for washing clothing. It is one of the top names in washing machines for clothing and is widely used.
The spatial distribution of the windings in the armature is designed in a way such that it produce a rotating field when a three phase source is applied to its terminals. The field windings have a DC field applied to it and it is rotated mechanically by a prime mover. If the prime mover tried to rotate the synchronous machine at speed higher than its synchronous value then the power output of the generator will increase and this causes the speed to "lock" again to the synchronous one. If the prime mover applied less torque then the machine will slow down but the power output will decrease DUE TO DECEASE in the applied torque and this cause the machine to "lock" again to synchronous speed of the grid. The same principle can be applied to synchronous motors except that torque is negative (i.e. the prime mover is applying negative torque)
The number of poles determines the speed a machine has to turn (RPMs). The more poles, the slower the machine can turn. I don't believe your statement is true. I've seen synchronous generators, for example, that turn at 1200 RPMS, and induction motors that turn at ~1800RPMs.

A synchronous motor is used only with a.c. Its speed is dependent on the frequency of the a.c.
