I'm currently 14 years old and because I am interested in electronics i have build this with help of my older brother and my father, and now it is finished and it worked out very well, thanks.
Brilliant video, thank you! The only thing I didn’t get at first was how the commutator facilitated the rotation... but I got it. The break in the commutator means the direction of current flow through the coil is continuously flipping, so consequently the magnetic field in the rotor is also flipping, as per fleming’s hand rule.
I made this. 3d printed most parts. Only managed 240 turns. But I made slip rings and made a A/C generator that managed to light an LED. The pulses were clearly visible on the video as I used a cordless drill to drive the shaft. Definitely going to modify the rotor to add a second set of windings at 90 degrees. And a second set of magnets. Maybe scale it up to use larger wire diameter. Or maybe make a transformer to step it up.
Thank you so much for explaining the difference between the enameled copper wire and regular copper wire. There's tons of videos on how to make a solenoid and many more on electromagnets that if you replicate the video, all that you get is a short and no magnet. I'm going to order a spool of the enamel and try 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Very good description of how an electric motor works. When referring to a rotor and a stator a person is talking about an alternator or an a/c motor. Commutators or used on a dc style armature . The motor that you have built is a typical permanent magnet dc type of motor or dc generator ,if a rotating force is applied to the shaft such as wind, water wheel ,human or an external motor or an engine it would work as a dc generator .A rotor utilizes two or more slip rings depending on if it is an a/c motor or an a/c alternator which can be single phase or more. dc motors have field coils and an armature a/c motors have a rotor and a stator winding. Thanks for the video
Wow Sir your 3D printed motor looks amazing as well as you graphics? Your such a wonderful benevolent individual for giving away your design to 3D print this, if only more people were like you 😇
This was actually a project of mine that I did in my engineering design class (like 3.5 years ago). I took that class to see whether or not engineering was for me. My group was 1 of 3 groups (out of 10) that got ours to work. We also collected data on the amount or work produced 😄. Fun project and our professor was very adamant about keeping the help he gave to a minimum.
@@UltraGamma25 I feel like if a teacher provides all the necessary information, in this case things like lorentz force interactions, torque, etc., then allowing the students to apply these concepts themselves rather than giving them an instructions guide would let them develop and strengthen their thinking and understanding of the subject
I built this last week. I'm in my first semester of an EET associates and doing this was extremely satisfying and made me even more excited to learn more
If you set up your armature in a lathe and took a very light cut across the commutator until it all cleaned up you would have less arcing and also use flat contacts instead of round, with more surface area touching the comm it will provide less arcing also. Cheers.
This is not my field so please excuse if I sound out of my league. My thought is, the way the comutator is positioned, isn't the field and armature magnetism wanting to fight itself as it passes through the strongest part of attraction. I would think some power is lost because it needs momentum to push past instead of the field changing right before or at the strongest attraction. Again, I may be way off base, and I know this is just a demo for explanation. Love the videos. Sorry, answered my own question. Permanent magnets have fixed north, south. I had in my head an electromagnetic field, thus each field each having a north and south. Thanks.
Hello Paul, Thanks for the informative video. I just have a silly doubt regards to an alternator. When a coil is rotating in a magnetic field, will it be rotating at a reduced RPM or at the same RPM, compared to the same coil rotating with no magnetic field at the same power. Does the Lenz law affect the speed of a rotating coil in a magnetic field? Kindly enlighten me.
Could you also do the live calculation of current using the formulas? For example, you read 52 Ohms after turning wires around the rotator. So, how would affect the drawn current? Or, what would happen if you add 2 sets of magnets on the top and the bottom side of the rotor? I hope I could tell you what I meant. I thank you a lot for showing that.
Thank you for sharing this amazing video, This is how Great Teachers develop their Nations, elsewhere in most countries people go to schools and die poor with useless theories.
To avoid spark generally carbon brushes are used at commutator. So here same type carbon material can be used between both side of connecting wires and commutator..
Hi, great video, I really appreciate all the explanations, it really helps. But i have a quick question, do the commutator plates have to be made out of copper? Also, instead of drilling a hole into the plates and tying the wire into a knot, I can also just solder the wire onto the plates right? Many thanks in advance!
suggestion: construct the DC-motor as bldc, use airbearings or magnetic bearings... Use transistor with infrared IR reciver/sensor combined with flywheel with holes(working as a beam-cutter) to call for remagnitation and feedback if you like. Adjust speed with voltage
No, free energy doesn't exist. All the youtube videos about free energy generation are lies they just want you to click the video so they earn money. You can rotate this by hand or strap a wind turbine to it and it'll generate electricity but you have to input more energy then it will output.
This is a good video for elementary school students; very basic. It might be better if the construction were based parts made of common household material, like cardboard tubes and popsicle sticks, rather than 3D printed parts, because not everyone has a 3D printer (and because I can't get my to print).
3.46 But providing a current externally creates its own magnetic field. So in this case Flemings rule applying to two magnetic forces ? The Flemings rule can be better explained without providing a current to the wire but moving the wire (F) then auto generating the current .
Brother can you teach us about servo motor or rover mechanism in next video. Your electronic content help us to learn lot in the field of engineering. Your lecture is esay to understand a lot about electronics.❤️
Hi, everybuddy. Just a question, man, premising it's not a polemic one but just for curiosity: Wouldn't be better to increase the commutator gaps to make engine work more efficiently? WARNING: I'm not competent in electricity. Many thanks in advance.
I have an issue where when the brushes are touching the space between the two commutators that the motor does not self start. Is there a way to fix this?
You can thank to Benjamin Franklin for that! He had 50% chance to guess does it go from + to - or opposite,and he was very unfortunate. Mankind is stuck from than.
Sorry if I missed it, but is there any particular reason the rotor is shaped like that? I feel like you could reduce the overall size of the motor by just eliminating that giant hole in the middle and moving the magnets inward
The magnets are square so to maximise the field the rotor is square. If it was a curved magnet then we could chnage the shape. But the smaller you make it, the less turns of wire you can fit so the less powerful the motor will be.
Would It be incorrect to assume that if one increased the amount of stators the motor would be more powerful or is something more required to increase the power?

But I’m not in England.how could I use your website to have some of the things 3D printed?(please give me an advice)
They post worldwide from China, just select your country
How?
Can you do generator videos and solar power please 🙂🙂🙂
Great video! Thank you to all of you.

That doesn't sound too good.
A teacher is supposed to help their students understand. Not go, "figure it out yourself." Engineering and physics is incredibly complex.

Very good teaching aid.
You could use spring loaded concave bushes on the commutator,
also run 3 stators and rotors spaced 120 degrees apart.
This must be gold for beginners thank you for doing this
I am totally doing this. Only heaven knows my obsession with motors.
same here
god bless you.days are finding this hand work of my high school project.thanks.
Use small carbon materal or grafite at the contact of commutator
So carbon dont produce spark
This channel is getting more and more interesting 👍🏻
As a tyro these things are quite delphic and confusticate me but thanks to good pedagogues like you for making them luculent.
It simply explains the working of motor
If you set up your armature in a lathe and took a very light cut across the commutator until it all cleaned up you would have less arcing and also use flat contacts instead of round, with more surface area touching the comm it will provide less arcing also. Cheers.

Who the fuck even had this in mind at first? Like what????? Was it their dreams to invent something crazy or what? Its mind blowing!!
So, you’re telling me I can make a space station
Thank you for making this video
It helped me with mine :D
Its like I'm in school but I'm not lol 😂
Glad it helped!
It did
Thank you!
Excellent explanation
I'm definitely going to try this project. as soon as I can get 6 massive n52 magnets.
Hatts off bro 🤜
You make my project easily!
Holy Smokes! You are brilliant at presenting these topics.
Really amazing to see stuff we learnt in 10th grade at work.

Use capacitors to reduce arcing on the commutator
thanks so much. this is one of the most simplest and lucidly explained induction motor build video on youtube. hoping to see ur other videos as well.
hi I'm truly satisfied every videos you made💕
um i have a request about ceiling fan how they work and how they build. thank you
Excelent video! If we atach gears in the shaft, we can make a manual eletric current generator instead of an eletric motor...
Could you also do the live calculation of current using the formulas? For example, you read 52 Ohms after turning wires around the rotator. So, how would affect the drawn current? Or, what would happen if you add 2 sets of magnets on the top and the bottom side of the rotor?

I thank you a lot for showing that.
Yes you can perform calculations, you should build one and experiment with it.
Thank you for sharing this amazing video, This is how Great Teachers develop their Nations, elsewhere in most countries people go to schools and die poor with useless theories.
please explain in full about the hairpin motor.. thank you..
Paul you are a super amazing engineer
you can improve the motor by puting copper or metal bloks instead of two wires.
You could probably add some carbon graphite brushes at the ends of your commutator arms to reduce the sparks.
amazing
놀랍다 ;;;
thank U
I used the carbon graphite of 2 carpenter pencils for my homemade brushed DC motor.
Love this video, thank you so much for educating! Would you be able to share the STL files for 3D printing? It says unavailable in the description
Files now back online, see links in video description
Great video. What is your specialty in engineering? (I.E. Civil, Bio, Electrical). I just started electrical 1 and your videos have helped me a lot.
This was interesting as I don’t know anything about engineering (yet) however I’m wondering isn’t it a risk it overheats and catches fire?
how would i use a 5 teeth commutator?
Scroll saw. Sry couldn’t help myself. Nice build though, I definitely learnt something, cheers :)
Good job 👍
Good.work
I can't believe you reached grade 10..Can you please make a vedeo on how to make a radio
Thanks for sharing this wonderful vedio to the world
can you make step up and down transformers?
How do you get a good connection at the commutator with enameled wire?
Such a great love towards education. Hats off you. 👏👏🙏
You should try building a Magnetic Electric Motor for Free Energy 👀
I thought Flemings left hand rule was the three pointer celebration in 🏀 👀🧐🧐
A new idea came in to my mind. THANKS.

Surely we can add some magnets into the circuit that provides free energy

Could maybe use a conductive ball bearing for the contact (if those exist) to prevent sparking?

Likely
would it work if only on one site is a magnet. it would be way less efficient, but should work still, doesn't it?
THis video iiss so goodddddddd

Ever since I learned about electron flow conventional flow has bugged the ever loving crap out of me
You can thank to Benjamin Franklin for that! He had 50% chance to guess does it go from + to - or opposite,and he was very unfortunate. Mankind is stuck from than.
You can make a fan with this
How many meters of wire would 400 turns be?
Thanks for your useful information
thank you it's great!

Do plz show why and how current carrying wire produces magnetic field around it in an animated way.
Make a video about Synchronous motor
Fist thing I would do it is that I would changed the commutator plate design
Hi I really want your help to make an engine that used water and salt power
best channel i have come across thanks for the amazing content
Amazing
this is a good design. looking forward for a three phase motor or three phase generator project. keep it up.
Your videos are awesome! Thanks!
I don't understand how the gap in the commutator reverses the current...
Please explain the about of inverter practical
Please watch our power inverter video
