I'm happy to exchange a couple extra seconds for you benefiting from this video. Thanks man!

Excellent example of a simple dc brushed motor generator, thank you!

This is the best demonstration out of everyone!!! Thanks for sharing.

This is amazing, i wish you were my lecturer back in the day.

Very cool project. I bet if you shortened the threaded rod and reduced the air gap you could really get that thing moving.

Good one! Great to see it working

Thank you so much for this video, couldn't find another one like it!

McMaster-Carr FTW !!! Nice Motor Man !!!

Tim . I need a 1 or 2 HP motor. do I just add more raps to the copper ?

This was very helpful. Thank you. :D

this was used for my hsc. cool video!

I was just wondering if this could work with a 2 volt power supply?

Does it start from automatically from horizontal position?

If you add a resistor to the circuit, will it make the motor go slower?

Do the armature need to be mettalic? can I use something like plastic or paper or clay?

I miss Radio Shack... 😢 I altered my electric guitar so many times with parts from there. Up to this day, nobody knows how it sounds so clean. That's when I was a middle schooler. Can't imagine what I'd be able pull of nowadays. Electronic stores can be a bit pricey; but, i have no other choice

dude need help....can i do dis instead of two magnet wire part can i do 6 or more?

Nice video. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your helpful video hairy Irish tutor mon👍🏼

Nice Job man!, Very helpful as well, hope you made some money of this.

How many volts does it take to run

excellent video and motor

Great video. Thanks : )

slick and cost efficient

how many times did you wound the copper wire? how much copper wire did you use?

i would suggest wrapping over 200 wraps on each side.. with .22 guage wire.... wrap more with thinner wire.

Simple and great thanks

Will it work with a battery?

hey, I need to build a dc motor for school can someone tell me all the materials he used, mainly the (blue tack stuff). thanks.

What can I check if It doesn't work?

what is wrapped around the 1/2 inch pipe to place the commutator on? and how do you attach the commutator onto that?

Just electrical tape to widen a bit. I used super glue to attach it.

what wire is this?? where can I get it? and can I use this wire for a simple dc motor aswell? would appreciate feedback, I need to pick this wire up for a school project. (where can I buy it?)

Sayton Dette you can order it, it is called "magnet wire" or "Enameled wire* and it is made for winding coils

I have always wanted to build on of these. but I was never sure how to wind the copper. Is there only one way to wind it? You use 1 long piece of wire, don't you? and then you keep winding say, clockwise all the way up the bolt?

Yeah I can definitely see this taking a week to do. With my students, all the materials are ready for them. I think retrieving the materials is half the work. I hope you got it working. I feel like its beneficial to build motors by hand - than looking at a powerpoint about it.

Omg, thank you very much, I understand now, thank you.

Would a flywheel help on this motor? I did make mine, got it running and everything, but it stops sometimes since the rotation is not smooth. It can even lift some weight.. yey! lol

Nice one! A flywheel might help but what sort of voltage are you running - at least 5V i would think. You could mess around with the position of the commutator.- This might help. Glad you got something running.

its a common problem with DC brushes... the better the contact to commutator, the less sparks...

Where did you buy the wire and threaded rod, and does the armature (threaded rod) have to be a conducter

@timcallinan

8 жыл бұрын

The wire can be bought from www.mcmaster.com - it is just normal magnet wire. The threaded rod is made from steel - the important thing is that it is ferrous (magnetic) it should stick to a magnet.

@guitarman_3693

any hardware store , such as lowes, should have the " all-threaded rod" and the copper pipe plumbing straps ( commutator )..

Would this work with a normal battery? 9v or 1.5 in series for example... I need a quick answer, would be really grateful! We have to make an electromotor for our school, it has to run for 1 minute and run from a battery.

You put the nuts on either side first - tighten them and then start winding the magnetic wire.

@@rogerhornsby8180 you have to really pay attention to the direction you are winding your coils. If you started clockwise then it must be clockwise throughout both sides of your core. My problem was that when I finished one side, I flipped to the other and kept winding clockwise, but since I flipped sides, it actually make the other end counter clockwise so the polarity never changed to keep the motor moving. I'm not sure if that made sense, but let me know and I can try to explain again.
