DC Electric Motor

[ncranfill]

nice, now just combine that with a generator mag-coil and make a closed circuit. make sure the generator mags are many times stronger than the motor.

what all did u use???

i have to make one for a physics project so let me no asap if u remember

[TheRealDealinlife]

Nive job, way to go!

[kengmeatleafer]

Very smooth and Neat! I like!

[naher1]

can u plz tell me how you made the communtator

[naher1]

did u buy the commutator??

[ExiaOmega]

is all of your wire stripped? or just the rotor wire

[blackwingdiaz]

Hi, I tried making a 3 pole dc motor with 190 turns each (AWG 23 as my wire is 0.6mm dia) and using a 9V battery (same as the one you used). As for my magnets, I used Rare Earth (Neodymium) type. For commutator i used 3 copper plates with 3mm gap in between each plate.

But it didn't work, all it did was jerked a little and stopped. I didn't know what went wrong....can someone help? Thanks!!!

[redld16]

@blackwingdiaz did you look into where the ends of the coils went?

[luisr5432]

were the coils all interconnected or were they each seperate and did each coil have to wires like negative and positive?

[redld16]

The silver colored part of the motor is the commutator- but it is not a cylinder it is 5 different plate each one with a positive and a negative end under each.

[DhGinny]

is the silver coloured cylinder part the commutator?

[MUSTANGJMS]

can u make a vid on how to make it plz plz

[Taht1Gai]

Now these are quite simple to make, but getting the neccessary material and crafting the shape of it is probably what makes it takes so long to build.

[futurepredator8]

how did u make the cyclinder part?

[skater2skater]

ok pls respond back i want to do this disign for my finnal project in physics and i would like to know how you wire the whole thing togetter and how how many times did you wrap around the screws

[Lionspirit08]

if possible how to make it

[RatmenKamikadze]

great motor, it is good job!!!!! :)

[irishnavyman03]

very nice but you have some sparking going through your commutator you need to make sure its is nice and smooth and theres no bars touching or you could blow it out.

[redld16]

this is a DC motor

[Gingeralerocks]

does anyone know the name of this type of motor i made one just like it except i have to write a paper on it and i have no clue to the name or inventor

[trentonpass]

@Gingeralerocks

Hi it is a brushed DC motor. 

I hope this helps.

[redld16]

its really hard to explain the motor now its been a year since i have posted this- but ill do my best in the comming weeks to leak my knowledge in to a word file for anyone else who might inquire upon my motor

[LargePizzaDelivery]

yeah, right i beleive you (cough cough)

[4nim3cube]

i need help on the commutator part and the coil part plz really important, i have to do this in a week!

[Halogen360]

You know, if you used a transformer of some sort (like a small train transformer or even a power supply box), you could get much more power/RPM out of that motor set up (I would know, since I have can motors that use very similar setups internally to power things; they also pack a punch for their small size. I had a tiny, half-thumb sized motor that moved an entire, large-scale train set).

[andrewhakeem]

what material did u use for the commutator.

[Darkshenobi]

where can i find the instructions to build this type of electric motor i mean exactly the same design

[idontactually]

For this Dc motor to work must the batteries be put in parralel?

[blower05]

not much spark in commutation.

[petfood56]

now power that with electricity from ur house =)

[carrierpilot1357]

you cant house power is alternating current which would not work with a dc motor.

[kmarinas86]

You would need a transformer with DC output that can be plugged into an outlet.

[kmarinas86]

"You would need a transformer with DC output that can be plugged into an outlet." = In response to petfood56

[krankiev]

you'd have to use an AC adapter, but you could do it.

[rgsgww]

put a subwoofer speaker to a 9v transformer...u get 60hz...it sounds like ...well a transformer.

[dimension910]

Nice motor. After seeing this video i decided too make my own motor based on your design. I used 2 Neodymium magnets, pvc pipe, a wood cylindar and i made my own commutator out of zip ties with wire coiled around them.

[knajills]

please i need to kno lol!!

[knajills]

How mcuh volts did you use of battery? and how did u assemble those parts?? im really intrested of the motor u have built!

[carrierpilot1357]

he used 18v

[smoothntallGWM]

He used 9Volts (no load voltage)... and... because two batteries were put in parallel, there was twice the current AVALAIBLE (similar, but not the same as delivered) to run the motor. If only one battery had been used, the motor would still spin, just slower (unless one battery's energy delivery won't be enough to overcome this motor's needs for power -- and I think one battery would still move the rotor of this motor).

[smoothntallGWM]

The actual voltage delivered was probably around 7 volts. Only redld16 would know (if he put a volt meter across the motor delivery wires).

[carrierpilot1357]

i just figured that out-i forgot about series and parallel so yeah he used 9 volts.

[sublimished]

I really like your 5 way rotor design. Way more ambitious with that than I was. I saw your rotor design movie too, and saw that each electromagnet is only 1 nail. I've been told that wrapping a coil too thick in relation to the diameter center would lose some efficiency, was wondering what you think of that?

Anyways very cool, and check out my motors if you get a chance and tell me what you think

[TheOneAndOnlyFink]

Try getting an electric train power supply and connecting those wires to it. That's a very nice motor

[deuexx]

Very impressive! Congrats! :)

Looks very neat and sturdy. Should be reliable. What is the lowest voltage it runs on?
