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.

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.

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

Pretty slick man.

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

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

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 !

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

[glasstronic]

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