DC motor as designed by Joseph Newman. By design I mean low current, high voltage, with segmented commutator.

This time I have a set of coils ou...

My third motor attempt. Going bigger. The theory is, the more wire, the more windings the better. This is still a work in progress. I plan on a...

Just showing my Newman motor again, for a different angle, and more of it running than me explaining the commutator. I try to get into running the...

Took some of the bottom coil to make a top coil. Top coil is at 65.4ohms, the bottom is now at 365ohms. Ran it on 93V. Still slows down and stops...

The continuing adventure in the operation of a Joseph Newman motor. Part 5 is a full 10 minute video showing that I think I have a working model. ...

Part 4 of my adventure in leaning how a Joseph Newman motor works. I bought 12 new 9V batteries. Put them all in series for 208v (the first 12 wh...

My first Newman motor; take 3. This time I mounted the neodimium magnets to a steel rod instead of a crappy piece of plastic. This gives the magn...

Second video with a small change in the batteies. I was using 12 9v batteries that were used and only reading 92.3v instead of 108v. Now I have t...

This is my first attempt at building a Joseph Newman motor/generator. It starts out great but only after about 30sec, it slows, and then stops. I...
