Motors that are specifically designed to handle those high rpms are always going to be a brushless motor. I have a seancheer turbo jet fan and judging by the tone it’s 130,000 rpms. A brushed motor with the highest rated rpm the centrifugal air pump in a Wagner sprayer which spins at 64,000 rpms but highly inefficient and have a short life expectancy. There is a reason why premium corded vacuums have motors that don’t spin faster than 42,000 rpms if you completely block the suction with your hand and 35,000 rpms under use.
I used to run a slot car track ( both 1/24 and 1/32 ) the cars motors were mostly 12 volt DC with over 100amps available !. I also rewound those tiny Mabuchie motors to about 1volt ( winding about 12 winds of #28 wire on the 3 pole armature going to a ceramic comutater, THEN epoxi the windings then staticley balance the armature and we regularly got well over 125,000 OUT OF THEM!! But only for a few seconds, the motors were controled by a hand controller with a MASSIVE reostat inside, you only used full throttle for a split second as those tiny motors would propell those cars to nearly 100 mbh on a slot car track straightaway , as you only used full throttle for about 1/3 of a second it didnt burn out the motors or cause them to explode.

Not much more power if any, but much less time spent preparing them! Most controllers now (for brushed motors) have the heat-making components (mosfets etc) separated from the grip, and the grip just sends a signal to those to regulate track voltage. It's partly to keep from burning your hands, partly to reduce resistance in the circuit. With the current the fastest motors draw...!
SORRY but my reaction times have slowed down a BUNCH, as I am now in my 80s, another thing , we now have rare earth magnets about 5 times stronger than the old ceramic ones.

I would NEVER try to rewind a brushless motor as they are completly different than the 3 pole armatures on the old Mabuchi motors, the electrical enginearing that goes into the brushless motores and there speed controlers is FAR beyond me!!!
I was able to build one with no access to internet or computers. Took the whole kit out of an rc car and attached one main fan at the rear and a propeller type thingi at the side. Wola! It worked beautifully except the fact that the range was only like 2-3 m and batteries lasted like 20 min. I was proud of myself. Lol

Now listen. Companies try to be careful when advertising motors, but really, it's fine to go a FEW volts over their specified voltage. It's fine to have a 12V motor be ran by 15 volts and more even, just be careful.
on all my old GM cars i used to install a high amp DC to DC converter so ther A/C fan would get 16 volts instead of the 13.5 that the alternator put out... everyone always wondered why every car i had was always so much better A/C than theirs.. old cars just didnt move the air the new ones do... those blower motors ran for hours and hours at a time on long road trips and never failed
It is confirmed that smoke and fire make motors run. Most seem to fail around 30v the same voltage that they tend to blow up in toys. Now can you do the same thing but with an assortment of sound chips out of various toys as they should all blow around 7v
I've noticed that most motors tend to fail at around 4-5 times their rated voltage, and the cheaper quality ones only handle about 2-3 times their rated voltage before failing, but that one 12 volt one that handled over 80 volts before failing was quite impressive!
This reminds me of something terribly stupid that I did when I was a kid: My father had a variable voltage PSU that went up to 24V, and multiple 1.5V-3V and 12V motors from car radiocasettes. I got a liking to blowing up motors as seen on the video, but the PSU didn't go high enough to blow the 12V motors so I had a "genius" idea: To plug the 12V motor into the 220V mains of the house. You can imagine how it went... The motor inmmediatly exploded with a big bang and I went pale. Luckily the metal casing saved my hands, and the short circuit protection of the house triggered and saved me from certain electrocution. I learned a big lesson that day and didn't tell my father, who by the way is an electrician and would probably call me every insult he knew.
A few years ago I was given an little Only fools and horses rc Reliant three wheeled van as a present,made in china of course.I took mine to work and as it turned out the young lad who works for me got one too.Soon we were having races at lunch time around the workshop.It got quite competitive,we had rules that it must remain as the van and you cant just bolt the body to a better base,cue a host of modifications to gain an edge,little carboard spoilers,neoprene rings on the back tyres for better top speed etc. I eventually secretly opted for fit a 4 way AA battery cartridge on top of the original battery box to supplement the four it already ran on,giving the option of 4,6 or 8. I initially tried 9 volts/6 AA's,which made it markedly quicker,then after running for ages without issue and being curious tried 8 batteries. I expected it to not work,or fail quickly given the little board in the van was now also getting 12 instead of 6 volts, but 7 or 8 years later,it's battered but still works and is still stupidly fast for what it is,I've told my 'opponent' it's all down to reducing friction,he's tried everything and then some😂 I dont know wether to be impressed that the cheap components can handle double their initial design or that they are so bad that it doesn't matter,I only hope the same factory doesn't make medical or aeronautical stuff😂.
It appears that the main failure mode of brushed dc motors is the brush assembly overheating and melting the brush contacts in other into a short? Or is it electricity arc across the brush contact pads from the high rpm + over-voltage potential basically bridging the contacts into a shorted state?
I disassembled the motors, and the smaller ones often fail by the copper brushes deforming. On the larger ones with carbon brushes the commutator is often overheated and releases from the rotor body, and burnt windings.
@@Cskirt That makes sense. The commutator/brush contacts do seem that they’d be the point of highest resistance, just by nature of being a moving contact point. Also there is undoubtedly contact-switching noise generated by the winding inductance coupled with the magnetic field as the poles are rotated by the commutator. Is that what the ceramic cap across the contacts is for? probably to reduce emi by giving a path to short the switching noise to ground. I wonder if the amount or length of time a motor can withstand over voltage would differ between two identical motors one with the cap and the other without? My guess is it wouldn’t make much difference because of the substantial levels of over voltage that the components are being subjected to. I enjoyed watching these motors quickly retire from service, anyhow!
Could you please do this again and submerge the electrical end vertically in mineral oil with the end of the shaft poking out for speed measurement. It should keep the slightly cooler by a few seconds and eliminate the sparking, and really go til she blows. If you do, do this make sure to carefully submerge them so there is no air trspped in or around them!
There are a few people that have suggested this, and I'm actually in the store right now getting more electric screwdrivers 😄. I'll try to film this weekend or maybe next week
2:05, the little pully with the reflector flew off and then the motor went way into overspeed and locked up the rotor causing the whole motor to turn over so fast it ripped up the cardboard. The locked rotor also caused the smoke from stalling.
pretty fun video, this is like watching curling. Im not sure about what the rules are, the content is good to look at and the game in my head is to find out what the " rules " are. I dont know too much about DC motors and seeing the different outcomes makes me understand just enough to be exited too watch the next one, hoping to find the key to understanding what makes them burn out
Every time you put toy in there, it makes at least me slightly more against what you’re doing because I’m reason just a soon as you put toy in there also what’s the capacitor for because I have pretty much that exact motor and I really want to know does it actually have carbon brushes like before it’s used? 0:26
I did this experiment 40 years ago......... Plugged the motor in to 240AC...... Out come was exploding motor, burnt my chest oh and blind over night...... Test completed
Years ago whilst playing with a low voltage motor that I had adapted to operate in a toy boat I was surprised that when it sank (don't ask) it continued to work quite happily even underwater! It turns out that clean bath water doesn't conduct electricity as well as people think.
My car is powered by an 11 inch Hitachi DC series motor Its rated at 48v - 200amps - operates at up to 1400rpm in the forklift I'm feeding it with 1200amps and 390v - I hit 6800rpm at the end of the 1/4 mile - and it survived!
When I was a little boy I would play with these little motors all the time. You could buy a few different sizes at the local surplus store for next to nothing. One time I got the bright idea to cut a wall plug off of something and wire one of these little motors directly into the wall. It's been a good 20 years and I still remember the moment I plugged it into the wall lmao. Not a great idea.
When I was in 2nd class in 2015, I used to explode my RC Cars / plane and used to keep the PCBs and motors and LEDs with me, thinking that using these, when I grow up, I will make a terminator robot! 😂 Jokes apart, but that opened my interest in microelectronics and now when I am in 11th, preparing for JEE 2026, to get Electronics and communications branch, I have till now prepared more than 40 sensor based projects, I have made 2 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Quadcopters) and I have a good hand at physical computing. It all started with opening toy cars and remote controls...
I'm impressed that these things can handle 2x and some even +3x their rated voltage before starting to smoke. Now I wonder how much 1.5 - 2x rated voltage goes for their lifetime, as in could some of those handle that for extended time? Or would it only take minutes instead of seconds before they smoke up?
It would be interesting to see if a similar test but keeping the RPM consistent by pulsing the power to motors. Will a 3V motor burn out at 12V if you use a PWM with a low enough duty cycle so the RPM still matches the 3V RPM? My guess is the motors wont die as fast but the higher voltage will still likely greatly shorten the motor's live span. I don't think the commutator nor the brushes would like the higher voltage.
I replace the brushed motors in all my RC cars with brushless. They function better and last longer. I used to fry electric motors all the time as a kid. Now I just sell them to those that want the brushed motors.
When i was only 7 years old im spending all my pocket money in this type of things im running this motor with mobile charger after cutting the wire of charger and its work and also running with car battery im taking all my motors from my toys
I can almost smell it. We used to rewind slot car motors with only 3 turns of thick wire. Good for one drag race and despite fixing the windings with epoxy they still got ejected. We had motors that were rated at 72,000rpm and our 3-turn motors were spun faster.
These videos never fail to entertain me. The RPM that those motors reached were quite impressive. And I love seeing the current meter now. Thanks!

if you want them to be more smokey start increasing the voltage while spinning the motor backwards with a drill (fight the motor with the drill)
5:04 the sound like a DJI drone
That's precisely what I was thinking.
5:14 Bro said’🚂
Ripping from the table and bursting into smoke hahahah! Awesome. New subscriber ✌🏻
Years ago whilst playing with a low voltage motor that I had adapted to operate in a toy boat I was surprised that when it sank (don't ask) it continued to work quite happily even underwater! It turns out that clean bath water doesn't conduct electricity as well as people think.
4:05 nice all can monitored how many volts,rpm,current. untill that motors burns...
these little motors are quite impressive, pls keep them coming
Thank you for releasing all that magic smoke!
0:45 babies on aeroplane ✈️
😂😂😂😂
2:57 You put almost our city voltage (240v) to that motor
Nope... As motor blown up, the voltage counter didnt properly works anymore, engine died at around 30v
My city voltage is 250V and 16A.
Good for you. @@lifeofdenizofficialchannel
Ah, this reminds me on my childhood. :) So many motors destroyed back then just to see how things work. :) Or break apart. :)
Things I didn’t know I needed to know for 1000 Alex! Haha
I bet your workshop smells fabulous 😅
This is why EV car better than Internal combustion car
because electric motor can liberate insane exceed rated power
Why was there a capacitor connected to the positive and negative wires for the first two (3V ans 6V) motors?
All commercial brushed DC motors have at least one cap across the poles to reduce the electromagnetic interference that is produced
My car is powered by an 11 inch Hitachi DC series motor
Its rated at 48v - 200amps - operates at up to 1400rpm in the forklift
I'm feeding it with 1200amps and 390v - I hit 6800rpm at the end of the 1/4 mile - and it survived!
When I was a little boy I would play with these little motors all the time. You could buy a few different sizes at the local surplus store for next to nothing. One time I got the bright idea to cut a wall plug off of something and wire one of these little motors directly into the wall. It's been a good 20 years and I still remember the moment I plugged it into the wall lmao. Not a great idea.
Excellent motor burn outs.
When I was in 2nd class in 2015, I used to explode my RC Cars / plane and used to keep the PCBs and motors and LEDs with me, thinking that using these, when I grow up, I will make a terminator robot! 😂
Jokes apart, but that opened my interest in microelectronics and now when I am in 11th, preparing for JEE 2026, to get Electronics and communications branch,
I have till now prepared more than 40 sensor based projects, I have made 2 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Quadcopters) and I have a good hand at physical computing.
It all started with opening toy cars and remote controls...
first guy who invented electric DC engine with internal combustion
Amazing how much power and potential have in this tiny motor ❤
I know little about electronics, and I want to know why capacitors is soldered onto the motor for?
How did screwdriver one go on for so long while bigger ones fail so early?
I'm impressed that these things can handle 2x and some even +3x their rated voltage before starting to smoke.
Now I wonder how much 1.5 - 2x rated voltage goes for their lifetime, as in could some of those handle that for extended time?
Or would it only take minutes instead of seconds before they smoke up?
I always remove batteries from my hair cutters and trimmers and hardwire a power supply to them. With that higher voltage they work much better.
I’m interested in making my cheap handheld vacuum stronger. Any info would be appreciated.
How u made this controllable HIGH DC Voltage power supply. With output ranging from 1 v to 300 v.
Never seen anything like this before.
2:12 what causes smoke to act like a fluid?
It would be interesting to see if a similar test but keeping the RPM consistent by pulsing the power to motors. Will a 3V motor burn out at 12V if you use a PWM with a low enough duty cycle so the RPM still matches the 3V RPM?
My guess is the motors wont die as fast but the higher voltage will still likely greatly shorten the motor's live span.
I don't think the commutator nor the brushes would like the higher voltage.
Im working on esp32 drones, i have thought about over volting 8520 motors to see if i can get more thrust.
NICE! I have done this as jung Boy often ..... in the mid 80`s, no Brushless ..... 🥳
I replace the brushed motors in all my RC cars with brushless. They function better and last longer. I used to fry electric motors all the time as a kid. Now I just sell them to those that want the brushed motors.
I love it! Hilarious results.
what are the cap values you use for the small 5-12v motors?
how much more could be possible with a little liquid nitrogen cooling improvements?
Serious question I have a 120 volt AC Ryobi lawn mower, I hate when it bogs down on taller grass. Any easy way to overvolt it? thanks in advance
No motors were harmed in the making of this video
Now we need “Overvolting ESCs” to see them explode
4:50 Behold, the new THX intro!
You can smell the RPM 😂 Great video, I never thought of this, extreme numbers. The electric engine in my PHEV goes up to 12000RPM what if… ⚡️ 😂
What is that small capacitator between the connectors actually for?
2:15 thats was a big smoker
On 3:26 i heard like Formula Car engine in 2004
When i was only 7 years old im spending all my pocket money in this type of things im running this motor with mobile charger after cutting the wire of charger and its work and also running with car battery im taking all my motors from my toys
I found a very interesting channel, i'm your new sub
This is very useful experiment, thanks for making the test
I can almost smell it. We used to rewind slot car motors with only 3 turns of thick wire. Good for one drag race and despite fixing the windings with epoxy they still got ejected. We had motors that were rated at 72,000rpm and our 3-turn motors were spun faster.
Lol the smoke when they give up the ghost 😂
hey just wondering what you used to power the motors through the voltage range
i wonder what happens if he used capacitor to suppress arcs would it be higher rpms or not ?
You should try this with some air powered motors.
Get some really high RPMs!
interesting hobby u have. suggestion: not burning them but finding out which are most efficient
