Electric Motor by Deuexx

[ldreyees]

how did you attach the wires to the commutator and did you strip it of the insulation before connecting the wires to the commutator?

[selena030]

can somone plz explain me wat is need of carbon brushes in motor ..........i never get it

[sgtmalaypandit]

WTF MARIO MUSIC!!!

[acika72]

the music is pissing me off! :P !

[RonnieRambin]

Remember when......lol

[grouchyspaz12334]

What materials did you use for this? I have to make one of these for physics, and I can't find anything.

Oh, and my prototype's armatures don't seem to be wired correctly, do you think you could tell me how yours is set up?

[TheViewerZackaryP]

What is the piano song at :59?

[360smiddy]

What did you use for the 3 commutator bars?

[TheRealDealinlife]

Good work!

[shallawoop]

Your commutator doesn't work since the armature begins to turn one way, then reverses its rotational direction and then continues in this pattern. The split ring commutator is meant to allow the armature to continue rotating in one direction.

[Xezerio]

why are the magnets so far apart? 

[cr4zyftw]

im trying to do this and having the toughest time ever lol time to fail

[kkabline94]

hey wow this is really really good...i was just wondering, what did you make the commutator outof? and also how did you make the switch?

[kkabline94]

hey wow this is really really good...i was just wondering, what did you make the commutator outof?

[789963mike]

i need help with the brushes i dont understand where u make the gap at

[dywinx]

amazingly done.....but shud hav explained it.....

[cheetawolf]

put the magnets closer and this thing will haul!!

[DrJibson]

You've successfully made you're own version of a the starter motor in most vehicles.

[jeanlucncoelho]

Why do you use 3 coils?

I never understood that. I thought you could only have 2(so you could make a bi-pole)

[Robofreak96]

What material did you make the Commutator out of?

[derman077]

Well done. If you spin it by hand is it a generator ?

[mistersandman123]

how much of the magnet wire did you use 50 ft?



[roberto43155]

BASICO ......MUY INGENIOSO..

[JackSoban]

Make the power supply a eletric drill battery charger 12 or 18 volt and then plug the thing in the wall and let the baby go.

[deathnote460]

is there a website of where you can build this please i need help asap

[naher1]

what is the axle made out of???

[Futboller423]

i cant tell if its goin really fast or a little slow...

[fishtankfilms]

wow it goes so fast it looks like it isnt moving!

[skyfaze]

u need amperes law lenz law faradays to calculate a more efficient motor

[arbighookasian]

sounds like a mixture of atari and porno

[PROFX2009]

Wow!

Thats really amazing quality.

All I can say is respect!!!

[Mezzanotte619]

how come u didnt get 10/10?

[Yakitate2209]

same physics text book as me!

[cereaxx]

I've made one just like this........nearly the exact same but I am waiting for the uploader to reply to me so he can check what's wrong with it because it doesn't work.

[tulusteng]

pm him. im in the same situation as u lol

[oki17micah]

are there 3 bars needed for the commutator because there's 3 coils?

[cereaxx]

Yes

[serresjio]

ahhah such a massive coils are unneeded. look here: watch?v=UGV9YXWhMm4

[fronkenpoop]

I really like the 3-coil design. Great job.

[Locodoggydog]

What diameter has the copper wire?

:)

[wow1022]

yo follo tus mamas en la noche!

[iamhelix]

heres an idea, why don't you actually explain something about what is going on in the video instead of making another crappy Music video like everyone else on you tube. What is with you people is it a competition or something to see who can ruin a video the most by turning it in to a lame music video? please explain i want to know why you did this? it would have been better if you even left it silent.

[biowerks]

Mario rules and anyone that does not know how to make this should go back to the 4th grade.

[leobody]

@iamhelix haha, american noob!

[futurepredator8]

how did u make the cyclinder part?

[Taht1Gai]

PVC Pipe. You can find it at Home Depot or Lowes.

[futurepredator8]

nice

[skirmazz]

Forget it/ I cant sit thru the shit music

[Dargblastit]

gosh thnx lol

[Gabe2710]

i don´t understand the construction of the commutatot...can you tell me?? maybe in german??

thx

[Raralphy12345]

JACARANDA PHYSICS 2!!! WOOT! I'M USING THAT BOOK TOO!

I'm so stressed about my assignment... I have too many ideas...i think ill just start with a motor.

[saifd225]

i understand the whole dc motor effect and that when the current travels throug the coils an electromagnetic feild is created which is then reppeledn by the permanents magnets magnetic feild of course the direction in which it turns depends on the direction of the current and the direction of the permanent magnets magnetic feild. i also understand that a comutaator helps switch the current around for the motor to take a full rotation. nut can someone pls tell me why each coil needs a commutator

[david1991rules4life]

With the coils, does it matter if they touch the screw they're wrapped around or not?

[andreaacme]

Yes it would matter if there actually were contact from any of the spires in the coil. The fact is that the copper wire used for coils is copper (conductor) with a very thin coating of insulator / varnish (sometimes can be coloured), so in reality it doesn't matter if they touch. Think that all those turns of wire are touching eachother, let alone the screw, and that kind of shortcircuit would make the effect of that coil = NULL.

[david1991rules4life]

Ok man, thanks for the heads up! I bought my copper wire (tin and thick) from jar-car electronics and the fuckers haven't got insulated copper wire, i thought my copper wire looked a bit pale (as in light of colour = no insulation) :(. And i thought it would be a great idea to wrap it around a screw (screwed into the thing that spins), because the screw has threads in which the wire can follow around, unfortunately touch the screw = all wires connected to each other & hence dsn't act lyk a coil.

[andreaacme]

Then david1991rules4life, I would suggest that you get that wire from an existing coil. You can find coils in lots of old electronic devices (from the scrap-yard I mean ... televisions, electric motors ;) , transformers, stereos, almost everywhere you only need to look for them. Get that wire and re-use it for your project. Avoid using wire which is too thick, you want to get enough turns for it to be significantly attracted to the magnets.

[david1991rules4life]

ok good idea, and i know about more turn equals more torque etc, but thanks for the ideas. Btw i am doing physics in year 12, which helps lol. That's what i have this project for. :)

[chrisj8072]

the effect of the speed is cool

[david1991rules4life]

What have you got inside the plastic tubing? And did you screw those screws in a little bit then wound fro top to bottom? ...And THEn did you connect each copper wire to the metal thingy on the tube which has these "brushes" touching it? lol pleases answer.

[david1991rules4life]

Could i have a brief definition of a commutator and how to build it and what it does? :)

[fred0322]

ang panget'\

[3Delusional]

what does dc mean? the c is 4 current rite?

[darkcentury21]

dc means Direct Current

so you got the c right! :)

[fordrulz]

what school did you go to deuxx?

[david1991rules4life]

FORD RULES!

[markusthenewf]

Great DC motor! Could you show the rest of us how you wound the coils, hooked them up to the commutator and how you built the commutator. I am sure this info would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

[Gingeralerocks]

does anyone know what the actual name of this motor is i need to write a paper on it and i cant find the name

[bilzoo2000]

It's called a ' Brushed DC electric motor '

[andreaacme]

Yeah, same principle; can be called ' Brushed DC electric motor '

[armenac92]

the piano music is fromm?????????

[ativa97231]

You could improve your efficency by moving the magnets so they are as close to the screwheads as possible without touching them. Also i recemend using 10-20 flashlight batterys, but thats just me.

[LilGill]

what the hell are you listening too?

[abetoymachine]

very cool. good job

[AZURA888]

A question, why you put the magnets so far?.

l3l0odM4k3r

you can make a commutator for DC motors froms cooper tubes of cooling.

[fun4all86]

Im trying to build one right now just to play with and i cant see what all you have used. i see the design clearly and was hoping that you could give me a list of all the materials in the motor including the magnets. Im currently trying lto use ceramic magnets, not the best but the only ones i could find.

thank

[holycrapapie]

worst comment ever!

[deathaslife]

another question do i need to shave off the ends of the laminated copper wire

[deathaslife]

does the screws have tobe iron or steel or can it be any type of metal screw

[pilaalcalina123]

q buena musica loco a guante mario

[nick7basicbeginning]

grats on the project man, 1 question: does the coil wraped around the armature, have to be pressed against the two different split rings?

[4nim3cube]

i seriously need help on the coil and commutator part and i have to do this in 1 week plz help :(

[l3l0odM4k3r]

hiii!! hey i need a little help plz... im tryng to make a motor but i dont know how to make the commutator... and i dont know if i can buy one.. plz send me a msg or asnwer me plzzz its very important its for my electricty classÇ!

[4nim3cube]

how did u make the screws the same distance apart and how close should the magnets be?

[6b616e]

retarded bastard, i fucked your mom that bitch

[EvilKorbinDallas]

also were the screws metal, i mean wont they affect the coil in some way or another

finally can the bars be made out of copper?

[EvilKorbinDallas]

[EvilKorbinDallas]

how did you get the bars to stay on the plastic tube

[EvilKorbinDallas]

how did you get the bars to stay on the plastic tube

[insanic1]

i dont understand how u have three nails sticking out with wire wrapped around them all? where does each lead to? i mean is it just one long wire wrapped around each then both ends connected to the commutator? but i see three metal plates. hmm this is confusing

[deuexx]

Each coil has separate wire, so 3coils 3wires. Each wire is connected to two opposite commutator bars.

[insanic1]

two opposite communtatorbars? i just cant visualise it, so there is three bars, split between each and one wire is connected to the ummm hmmm, i must be dumb. i learnt that is can only be two bars, one postive and one negative, dont know where the third one comes into it or where the wires go

[cereaxx]

Can you explain this clearer. What do you mean by connected to two opposite commutator bars? How can 1 wire be connected to two of the metal sheets of the split ring.

Also what is inside your PVC tube? The wooden axle is just not sitting there you've stuck the axle through something inside the tube.

Please reply asap my assignment for this is due soon. Thanks a lot.

[bcpmax]

mario bros!!!

[iitsniick]

hi, i am doing a same type of project. But mine aint working Y_Y.. i wanna ask how did u wrap the coils around the nail/screw/armature and wat is the thickness of the copper wire u used.

[deuexx]

for coils: copper wire (0.25mm or 0.5mm thickness should do)

Make many turns, about 400+. More turns = Stronger electromagnetic field around them once current is flowing.

[iitsniick]

hmm.. does the armature have to be a specific type of metal? i juz used sum random metal ones.

[streakerz]

iron or steel

[rp751]

whats the song that you played in the first part of the video?

[tcupsn]

Run It by Chris Brown

[rp751]

Thanks heaps

[shallawoop]

how did you keep your wooden axle in the centre of the plastic tube?

[deuexx]

each end of plastic tube has circular rubber piece with small hole in the center, through which axle is going through.... but u can find something different that works for u... use cork instead of plastic or use full wooden armature... be creative...

[wallawallawoopwoop]

yeah i will!!! thanks heaps for ur help!!!

[Arkthurius]

nice work, did you try to get the magnets a little closer? i think it should improve the torque...

[dannykim654]

sorry i had to andrew

[CarltonCrips]

DANNY H THE KIMSTER ZAAANNNNY HHHHH!

[dannykim654]

thnx for helping me and my god bless u

[shallawoop]

nice motor - just wondering what the total cost was if thats alright?

[shallawoop]

nice motor - just wondering what the total cost was if thats alright?

[deuexx]

I cant remember exact cost now, but I know that

the Earth Magnets were the most expensive (around 14$).

I think Total cost was around 30$. Cause I needed wood, metal plates, screws, copper wire, switch, plastic pipe, magnets...

[shallawoop]

ok thanks!!!

[ssaskeyy]

I cold haveplayd more Super Mario tho that music!

[footandmouthdisease]

cool i did this when i was 10

[Darkshenobi]

where can i find instructions to build this

[fastback65rwc]

so the wire you us is it just regular copper wire or is laminated copper wire different? and the way you have the magnets set up is north and south or south and south or north or north poles?

[deuexx]

I have already answered these questions but anyways...

- Wire: Thin laminated copper wire. Thin is good to use as you can make more turns.

- External Magnets: They are opposite. IE south north or north south.

[idontactually]

I was only wondering this because i watched another video and they had the batteries connected in such a way that two batteries to the wire that came from teh brushes and then the otehr two batteries somehow connected to the magnets which were also actually soleanoids..is this even possible.your video and motor make way more sense to me..thanks again

[deuexx]

your welcome. I am not sure. drop a link to that video or its title name and i will have a look.

[idontactually]

thank you so much

no my question before i just meant you had it powered by what i'm guessing is four batteries which is 6V.and i was wondering i you could have the batteried attached in any other way.

[monsoondude]

I have to make one of these for my grade 11 physics class and I was wondering if the permanent magnets are both the same or opposite (ie. north north or south north)?

[deuexx]

Good question... =]

They are opposite. IE south north or north south.

They must be opposite because when coils rotate one magnet attract one repel and so spin the motor.

[idontactually]

sorry i just have to draw somehting liek this for science class and i like the way you built this but my teacher said it the way i just explained..

now im confused..

[idontactually]

question,cant you have a motor with just two soleianoids on the roatating part if both the permanent magnets are soleianoids and two batteries are attached to teh commutator and anotehr two attached to the otehr solianoids?

[deuexx]

Yes, you can have two coils attached to armature (rotating part). And also you definitely can use electromagnets instead of permanent magnets. I cant understand the second part of your question: "if both the permanent magnets are soleianoids and two batteries are attached to teh commutator and anotehr two attached to the otehr solianoids"

[kansub]

what website did u use to build this????

[deuexx]

just google:

#1 electric DC motor

#2 how make electromagnets

[kansub]

what website did u use to build this????

[webgirl27]

You didn't use electromagnets right? I need to build one for school, and I quite like your design, I'll just have to switch up the natural earth magnets for electromagnets.. Do you think that would work?

[deuexx]

Yes, i didn't use electromagnets for external magnetic field. For that I used earth magnets. If you would use electromagnets instead it will definitely work. Just when you use electromagnets you will need more electric power to run your motor.

[prabhat77]

Electric Motor by Deuexx

[bigblue2286]

If you move the magnets in and out, doesn't that create a transmission or brake for your motor. Could you make it power a car?

[deuexx]

You can move magnets a bit closer or further. I can make a motor to power a toy car... :D but for real car no... the motor would have to be much more efficient, powerful, reliable and so on.

[IOS33]

What site did you use?

[deuexx]

do u mean site to build this motor?

[hitlerbradpitt]

wow what speed:O

[svintocarlzzon]

Can i have drawings on this please ! wanna do this to my fysikclas ;P

[deuexx]

sry dont have.

[Alexstar7789]

this has awesome power!!!

[CKC90]

where can i downloads this awsome ghettofied mario theme?

or did you make it?

[deuexx]

from LimeWire

[jphether]

r ur coils covered or not?

[deuexx]

Yes, of course. They are made from very thin laminated copper wire.

[CKC90]

its called magnet wire.

[Blazning]

thats soooo good.. but how and where did you get that commutator!!!

[deuexx]

I made by myself.. :) it is quite easy. Check on Google how to make one.

[ohyea69]

how did you build your commutator?

[deuexx]

I just used thin metal sheet. I cut it to small even bars and bend them around the axle. Then connected coils to the bars. It is not that hard. :) You can use brass pipe, cut it into even bars and place it around the axle. Just make sure you have bars aligned correctly so they reverse the direction of current flow every half of revolution, and hence torque acts in the same direction throughout the rotation.

[dimension910]

I finished my 5 coil electric motor yesterday.

@apersonfromthere

I will always love you by ..........

i forgot the name ^^ but it's a woman

[apersonfromthere]

Cool motor, good school projects and also a good way to pass time by. :)

Also, whats the music near the end? I think I've heard it somewhere before but can't remember the name. =/

[Chordwayze]

Where's the gear shift?

[cskillet2003]

I will always love... me some homemade electric motor!

[sirHOAX]

Now create a Hydrogen(HHO) Fuel Cell.

Now that is interesting.

[kilop1985]

Im trying to recreate a motor where do the wires from the battary connect to in the axle?

[deuexx]

You connect wires from the coils (screw with wire around it) to the commutator (split ring) bars. The coils need to be connected to two opposite commutator bars, so when they rotate they change direction of the current flowing thought the coils, and thus the motor spins in the same direction.

[ripperarn]

so where do you get the commutator with all those specific connections?

[IcyAlaska]

show off with your fancy on off button, Nice job though nice and smooth.

[sublimished]

Cool stuff! The on/off switch is a great touch. If those are neodymium magnets they are pretty big!?!? I was using one probably half the size to test some motors and it was pretty scary around anything magnetic haha.

Anyways check out some of my motor videos if you get a chance!

[PepinoMM2BR]

Smooooooth =D

[Cr3ativity]

DC motor, now they have the brushless ones. Good video.

[11thhourreprieve]

WOW that was a wicked vid.

[FourTrotters]

Great motor, and I loved the way you put the video together. Others seem to like the Super Mario music, but to me, the piano theme was fantastic. Please tell us where to find it- I know it's I will always love you- but who's performs this version?

[deuexx]

That peace is an instrumental or karaoke version of Whitney Houston song I will Always Love Y. I got it from lime wire ;)

search for: karaoke - instrumental - Whitney Houston I will Always Love Y.mp3

[marjamada]

Nice motor. Great music. Some commentary about how it works would have added to the experience. Thanks.

[T2DMrBungle]

i need that Mario song.  what's it called and who made it?
