solenoid motor

[sonicfuker]

Pretty slick man.

[65bug519]

hook er up to the computer we got the hard drive running again

[djones8826]

I like this. It is simple and made with readily available parts. Great Job!

[23brandonsch]

how long is the connecting rod?

[dieeeeeeeeeeego]

How much strength can we get from it without burning the solenoid arm ?

Is the noise generated by mechanic impacts that can be removed ?

Is it possible to use it as a generator spinning the disk ?

Thanks for this video !

Uses two AA batteries under the drive. So, 3 volts total. Not much power at all and not enough battery to get it hot. You can easily stop the solenoid arm with your finger.

[NigelLoller]

Great!..How much power does that little solenoid have? say against your finger..does it get hot if you leave it loaded?

[HugMyNutz]

it's gonna take a month to transfer 1mb with that speed :P that is so cool

[glasstronic]

That is something I'm gonna do. Well done! thanks for posting.

Вопрос, а нахуя собстно было это делать? КПД простого мотора на порядок больше.

[WholeWideWorld]

@584908 haha

lol

[alfeuss1]

props for the time you put in, but are you not just re-engineering backwards in time . Just a thought, but great work.

[propeople]

cool

[diegeeleel]

bravo

[GreatGumbo]

That's very ingenious, do you think these sort of 'reclaimed' motors might ever be truly successful commercially? I saw one guy had built a fully working toaster (with timer) from an old Samsung CD-ROM (Originally 32x), haven't seen it in the shops yet though. Good Luck.

[maxbrad60]

Clever and interesting. Have you tried to put a load on it? It might run a couple of leds.

[outdoorextremo]

hello, you are using 3 volts battery rights?

[black1985vette]

@outdoorextremo

Yes. Two 1.5 volt AA batteries will do it. They are in a holder under the drive.

[amc23a]

Awesome, my co-workers and I took a hard drive apart the other day, i guess now we know what were going to do with it.

[theonethatgoofs]

wow i like

[pakscienceclub]

excellent work.........i like it
