It took me a while to figure out the wiring to bypass the signals to make it run on its own, then tricking the controller by raising the disk up with stuff so that it can't read its own rpm's therefore making it run at its max potential. The controller can handle upto 7v before getting hot and normal is 5v.

The Fan is to load test it so I can see how much torque it can output. When its reading a floppy disk it only spins at 33rpm and even with 7v it runs at the same rpm. So after this "hacking" it, spins around 10k rpm (guessing).

  • Kk, thanks for thingy the "2 Ultra Bright Tiny LEDs" in my EYES ASSHOLE,

  • @vvExodusvv you are a idiot thinking a lcd/crt monitor will blind you. A light bulb is 5x brighter than a lcd/crt monitor can put out at full power.

  • You've made a floppy drive motor rotate faster than it did originally, but there's no free energy. You've essentially made a transformer (not a robot in disguise) which is fine, but fairly futile, as you could have just made a transformer. If you do think there's such a thing as free energy, go ahead and power a battery charger to charge the batteries you're using to power the motor. If the motor stops, I win. :)

  • @dpgrenfree have you read the paused part of the video?? I said the generator is a DYNO aka LOAD TESTER. I didnt mention anything about free energy or powering a led with the battery.

  • @30GB you are right and the LCD actually has full brightness when displaying white, so this video cannot be brighter than a normal window backgroung (or the background of youtube).

  • potato

  • @vvExodusvv Are you a fucking idiot??? A monitor cannot blind you at all or injure your eyes. A 5mw green laser would hurt your eyes that any available monitors maximum brightness dumbfuck!

  • I just flagged he video

  • HACK IT, this guy thinks he HACKED IT :DDDD

  • @30GB It was a joke you should calm down o.o

  • @30GB see my vids to learn herbs as reishi,dandelion,dock,pine,mac­a,dill etC

  • @The7thSeason my cat smells like cat.

  • Ey...men it's first school...very easy!I experemented whith FDD stepper engine at my 10 ears age...Today I have 16 and I constructed full models whith using Steppers Motor...

  • @Theultimategooch HIS MOM AND DAD BEATING HIM FOR DISMANTLING THE PHONE AND THE FLOPPY DRIVE

  • My cat smells like pine forest..lmfao.

  • @The7thSeason This is the most fantastic comment I've found on Youtube. I'm not even joking.

  • @cezikrap ok but its free electrisity to the led.

  • You didn't sodder anything. You may have well soldered it but not soddered it. Look up the definition of Sodomy, it's something quite different.

  • @PuqTheBest There is absoulutly no such thing as "Free energy". Energy can not be created nor destroyed. There is energy used in powering the LED, in the sound, and in air resistance.

  • @thekillerpotatojosh You only use the battery once to start the motor. So you can save the battery for something else. Free energy

  • so you used a battery, to start a hard drive, to power a fan, to power a LED...... why did you not just... use the battery to power the LED? 

  • Faster processing speeds son!!! pfft lhahahahaha
