  • 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!!!

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

  • 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.

  • this is a DC motor

  • 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

see all

  • 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

  • Nive job, way to go!

  • Very smooth and Neat! I like!

  • can u plz tell me how you made the communtator

  • did u buy the commutator??

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

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