Cork Motor runs on Lithium Ion. Adults will appreciate this.

This "cork motor" (running on Lithium Ion batteries) started quite the motor revolution in electric Model Airplane flying.
From Mr. Herbert's Science class comes a bit of history. When I tell people that I've been flying model airplanes in the dark for 27 years, they think that is no big thing.
Well it is, because we only learned to fly real planes approximately 100 years ago! There were not LEDs or Light Tubes 27 years ago, let alone that many dependable RC systems.
None of this technology has been around forever, as most young people think today.

But young folks also think cell phones and the computer has always been around forever too!
Just a bit of history. Thanks for watching.

hey mr. Herbert i got a question i have a tamiya truck and i want to make a worm screw with something to push n pull in other to make a tipper style truck. If i take a regular motor and just plun in the negative n positive into a servo conecter and plug it in my esc would it work? also what kind of motor woud u recommend for that application? I need it to be able to lift like 5 - 10 pounds maybe. thanks :)

If you plug the same voltage motor into your +/- of your esc, the motor would work just like a propeller motor. 5-10 lbs is a lot of weight , so you would need good gearing or a bigger motor.

I thought lipo was short for lithium polymer?

@skl1cent Not sure I am reading what you asked right, but you could try a solenoid, they have some serious kick when activated and would surely push a R/C up and over to roll it. Or, if you have nothing fear, use a .22 blank and have a trigger to make it pop. That is how they would get real cars and trucks to tip over in movies, but with a LOT more gun power, lol.

+thanks to M. Faraday and most of all, the most alien of them all; Nikola Tesla. :)

Nice video, and fabulous music.

I did something very similar for Cub Scouts in 1969, but that time technology had moved on a pace and we were using thread spindles instead of the old fashoned corks.
