mantap lah

[nickwcox]

how much wire did you use?



[Superallyman]

Where did you get the instructions to make this? i would like to do it for a school project

[ddrchild]

do people use bare copper becuase it's a whole lot better than insulated?

[khunkim]

bare copper won't work for the armature

[1994punkrocker]

WOW i NEVER! knew a girl so young yet so talented

[khunkim]

Thanks for the nice comments - actually my dad helped me out with some of the tricky bits

[suwadbureau]

[prrk5]

Very nice demonstration. Well built motor and well thought out. Good job whoever made it.

I noticed at the end the girl did she build it? if so amazing work!!!

[chuckbear1961]

Neat "air core" armature works very well light with quick accileration

[MsMetronome]

where is the magnet here??? can i use any kind of magnet?

[khunkim]

magnets are on both sides of the armature - I used neodymium magnets for stronger magnetic attraction but normal magnets will work quite well

[Superfoot]

Nice...Instructional video on to make it?

[ppsjsh]

good job

[Thryx20]

[scott93257]

That is pretty awesome...Whether its running off DC or AC....It's still awesome..

[gaussman08]

WOW nicely done !

[khunkim]

Thanks a lot !

[claudinha11]

does this motor have brushes?

[khunkim]

Yes, the two strips of brass are the brushes. You can see a few sparks there

[dragnslyr648]

that's very nice, but yeah it's running off batteries which are DC

[ArquerO53]

That's a really nice motor, although it's running on DC power, not AC.
