Excellent presentation ! In particular, the fact that you went in to the trouble to disassemble the drill and build a wooden stand - to show us the function of the motor - is really remarkable. Also, the idea to use small battery and magnet was just brilliant. It is funny, but this is the best video I have ever seen on electric motors, and it comes from a ...woodworking channel !

As a retired schoolmaster I envy your ability to explain such a, potentially, complex subject in such an interesting way.

Love they way in which you explain things, always a wealth of knowledge!

This has been explained to me before but the visual makes it much clearer! Thanks Matthias.

You are really wonderful at explaining things. I already knew how these motors worked, but you had me watching with interest all the way through. Thanks. ...... now it's my 6 year old's turn to watch - let's see how he goes...

Really great explanation! Thanks!

The best videos stimulate curiosity, and this one did it for me. I paused for a moment to understand the back EMF at 3:56, the fundamental basis for a generator....

This was honestly the best way I have ever heard this explained

I always love taking things apart and see how they work thanks :)

Hello Matthias, I really was impressed when watching your video. As a professor I am preparing my lesson about electrical motors, but up to now had it seen from the theoretical point of view. Your video not only demonstrated that theory works well in practice, but gave me a push in understanding this tiny but mystic machine. Thank you. If you don't mind, I am going to use your video for my lessons, after translating it in german (as I am teaching in Cologne, Germany) and reassembling audio and video with an editing software.

I've seen, read and heard heaps of DC and AC motor explanations, and Matthias sums it up beautifully in less than 10 mins!!!

I have worked with electric tools for many years and never took the time to figure out how they work. This was a good explanation. Thanks Matthias for this nice tutorial.

Hell yeah, this just is so well explained that it's downloaded into my memory now.

Very good explanation of how a common motor works. Thanks for the video Mathias, Roland

Wow thanks brother. All the videos out there say "Easy Basics of BLDC, ac, &/or induction motors" but never tear into the motors and physically show the functions of parts included. And your homemade demonstrations of the parts broken down is AWESOME! thanks for the extra effort.

great technical info ... thanks Mattias Colin

Thank you Matthias that was & great explanation, I've just been watching your fathers shop tour he will be very proud of you your a very clever man, my mission is to build my own bandsaw buying your plans of course, keep up your great work my friend regards Mark.

You do a great job explaining this to someone who isn't familiar with this topic. Thank you!

Best motor/magnet explanation I have ever heard or given.

Great video Matthias! That was very interesting to watch, and had my attention the entire time. I liked the visual display of the rotor spinning outside of the drill.

2 Things that I like most about your videos Matthias; First, you always learn something USEFUL. The second thing is, you are not a commercial. I love DIY'ers videos, but cannot stand the "I'd like to take a moment to recommend this super product." It nice to see someone doing something because they like it, not for just the money.

I've seen some great explanations of how DC motors work, but the visual demonstration with a real rotor takes this waaay over the top. Thank you!

Matthias you have a wide variety of knowledge, not only as a woodworker and carpenter but also as an electrician and electronic engineer. You make me wonder "What is he gonna think of now?" at the start of every video you upload and leave me saying "Damn!" at the and of each one. Thank you very much and congratulations on the progress you have made in your life.

@2:22 you got a WOW effect for the clear explanation of the way these motors work. a BIG thumbs up 👍

You know, I bet the thumbs down are accidental, I was taught this and have taught this occasionally for over 40 years, this is by far the best explanation I have ever seen. There was a science book from, I think the 50's or 60's, that showed how to make a dc motor with a long sewing needle, a cork, several straight pins, some insulated wire and a horse shoe magnet and a 6v lantern battery. It was pretty cool too.

Hard to believe somebody that can make their own voltmeter would stop a saw blade with their hand

This is the best video I've seen that describes how the DC motor works. Forget all the fancy graphics, there is nothing better than someone actually demonstrating it with actual components from a very basic perspective. I have a video coming up that shows a very old (1905 in fact) elevator machine room. There is a DC motor in use and I'm going to briefly explain it, with a link to your movie for a full explanation.

This is the best explanation of a motor I have ever seen, heard, or read. Thank you, sir!

Fabulous. Not being my domain I know little about motors, but always wanted to use them in future projects given I am retired. The subject of motors can quickly get complicated, so your explanation of the Universal motor was most welcome especially since it seems to be the easiest for beginners to tinker with.

Fascinating! I learned more from this one video than I did in 2 years of Physics lessons at school.

You are one of top guys on KZread who explain things amazingly clear without any 3D animations 👍

I ve watched many of your videos and I have made furniture out of your plans. You are a gifted teacher.

EXCELLENT!! And the sad part of that is that your skill at presenting really should be the NORM! You stand out because you never said, "Uh" or "Um..." or "You know..." and your camera didn't SHAKE or PIVOT wildly about and we didn't have to listen to you breathe into the mic. Or grunt into the mic. And we didn't have to wait for you to try to remember what to say next..Nor did we have to listen to the unnerving, banging sounds of you dropping things as you looked for your tools or components.Again, EXCELLENT! Very informative! A pleasant and satisfying viewing experience! Thank you, sir.

Wow! You've inspired me with your wonderful explanation, to take apart a non-working electrical weed whacker motor and see whats going on. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge.

Man youre the best physics teacher ive ever had , you made it super clear for me how these uni motors do theire jobs an all time dilema for me ! Great job

Thanks a lot for this amazing explanation of the actual motor, most of the videos out there show animated ones but in this one you showed us a real motor. Thanks again!!

I've been gaining curiousity of how these work recently, but never really understood it. I understood within 3 minutes of this video. Probably because he used an actual motor instead of diagrams. Thank you!

wow this made the most sense out of all the electric motor vids/turbine vids i've been watching. thanks.

You are a good man Your videos are so useful for us here in Qatar and Egypt Thank you one million times

Excellent! Your video is very, very well done and greatly appreciated. I am a retired teacher of science and appreciate someone who can pass knowledge so well. Best of luck and we'll certainly watch your other videos.

Omg, I just had an epiphany. This was brilliantly explained. Thank youuu!

Thanks so much for this video,I have had countless drills go kaput on me that i have opened up for inspection, Always wondered how they truly work

Thanks for this--it's the first time I've heard the explanation for how electric motors go that is easy to understand.

This is the best explanation/demonstration I've ever seen. Brilliant!

Fascinating! Thanks Matthias!

That was so helpful, I finally understand how motors work. Thank you so much!

ive taken University Physics, Physics 2, AC DC circuit's, and Intro to EE (I'm studying Mechanical Engineering) and this is the best illustration and explanation i have witnessed I love your home made work shop and the scientific mind you have!!!

Great explanation and demo. I wish I could have seen this when I was in high school. Back then motors were black magic and things to be admired and feared.

Thanks for sharing this! You are a very good teacher.

Excelent presentation. Nowdays, universal motors are mainly used, which for me is a surprise, because nobody mentions them. I was opening a hair dryer and noticed that the motor inside is brushed and didn't have permanent magnets, but it is directly connected to AC source, without a bridge rectifier, so I was surprised. Thank you

Thanks for the easy to understand explanation! I am slowly getting this!

I always understood the basics of a motor, but watching this was my eureka moment, now i fully get it :-)

Thank you Matthias for the great explanations

I have been watching every other video hosted by engineers with fancy animations explaining how the motors work and your video is the best by far. Thank, I know I will pass my electrical test tomorrow

Simple and clear explanation with a lot of practical examples, perfect video!!!

That's such an awesome explanation of DC motors! The best things you did were to explore a real DC motor and show its limitations! I had some laboratories about DC motors in my uni., but there i didn't even learn 10% of what i learnt through this video! Cheers mate!

Really appreciate this. It was a well laid out explanation and I've always been curious about this kind of stuff. Look forward to the induction motor video. Thanks!

No bullshit presentation. Thank you. Wonderful human being.

This was one of the best explanations I've seen on the operation of motors. Thanks!

i finally understood *why* the rotation works and especially why it starts, thank you!

Cool video! You made the lesson extremely interesting. I'm working on making an electric trike (no welding) and stumbled on your video. Now I'm torn between a drill powered trike or a electric scooter motor (350-500W)! That's a good thing as you have provided me with alternatives.

Best explanation I have ever seen on motors. Thank you!

This is really well explained Matthias, thank you and great job.

You are crazy smart Matthias. I didn't understand a word of it, but enjoyed it anyway. Love your videos!

Such a good and useful video! Thanks Matthias! That was very well explained!
