Scavenging a Poundland vibro-motor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Some devices can be a very useful source of motors, and this one contains a low voltage and fairly low current motor that will potentially find use in solar ornaments and other projects.
Removing the motor was tricky. I ended up having to use a hacksaw to carefully cut a slot through the plastic casing to allow it to be parted enough with a flat-blade screwdriver to allow the motor to be extracted. If the tip is cut off it may allow the motor to be pushed out.
The eccentric weight came off the 1mm shaft very easily.

Nice

Lolz😂🤣😃😄
perfect video about shafts. loved it
Ooohhhhhh Myyyyyyy.
The image of a 6ft6 man with a Viking like beard, making eye contact with the cashier as this is the only item slowly heading towards her on a conveyor belt is hilarious 😂
And here we are watching his video of using it and fiddling with it on the internet!
It was a guy and he did do a double take.
Its for the wife to use at the office ;)
@@marcwolf60"I make model skyscrapers and need a model size vabrator for pouring concrete.. This is perfect!"
@@TheWebstaff Its just the correct scale to simulate an Earthquake.
yes, i think my wife collects these kind of motors or something! i guess they are very handy!
And her dedication to daily testing is impressive!
They're good for tossing your salad.
Surprise her with a Bigger one
Sounds like she wears them out too.
As Red Green would say - "Men, remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy"
0:32 Clive isn't allowed to say what this is, but the way he says "...moist..."
Those vapes get weirder and weirder...
@@KernelLeak If you're going to put that in your mouth make sure you THOROUGHLY sterilise it first!
@@zh84 No need to,but remember to keep away from teeth, as it will chip them. They do work well when used correctly, though correct use does mean you really want to use some rubber as an insulator, to prevent inadvertent electrical contact.
We need that as a sound clip to use for liveclive... 🤣🤣🤣

But . . . ?
If there was a store called "poundland" in America, it would also sell such things...
different kind of pounding...
dollar tree may be the closest equivalent in the US
America does have FAMILY DOLLAR. I assume their version is easily washable.
@@robert_g_fbg There are several similar chains here but depending on the town, they may not be allowed to sell them or won't want to in case of complaints. So I suppose it's a good thing electric toothbrushes were invented since you can buy those anywhere.
No shit Charlie w/ them Charlies Angels
Great device for mixing model paints!
Also, the button at the end *may* have a driver IC in it for various vibration patterns to mix the paints in different ways 😆. Pushing the button cycles through.
Just on and off in this one.
No SOS mode? I'm disappointed.

Watching E&K reminded me recently that these are really agitators for thixotropic fluids such as uncured concrete and epoxy.
We used to buy those and in the cover of darkness, go out into the harbour in a dinghy to tape them to the side of boats thus alerting the occupants thinking they were sinking because they think their bilgepump is trying to pump water out…… fun nights…..😂
evil genius!
@@HowievYT one of the many pranks us old sea dogs used to get up to. 😁
Neighbours complain of loud banging, bear noises, and swearing.
Had one of these in my bedside drawer years ago. Without my knowledge, my curious 12 year old son was rifling through my drawer and came across an object that vibrated when you pressed the button. Must be a massager, his innocent mind thought and he proceeded to give himself a little shoulder massage, before returning it to the drawer. Later on, he announced he had found the massager and although it was quite nice on his shoulders, it was a little inefficient with its small size. His father and I looked at each other in shock... before losing all self control and laughing for a solid couple of minutes. When we regained our composure, his father explained what it was... our son was devastated. And we have never let him forget it. He no longer goes through other peoples' drawers, either.
Give him time, he's only 12 after all...
I am reminded of that old Ikea commercial where the kid finds and plays with his mom's vibe. It's like, "Ikea tidy up commercial" if you want to go searching for it, it is a good laugh.
Friend of mine, 7 years old, found a "toy submarine" in his mum's room. Took it to school, was showing it off in the playground when his mother turned up to retrieve it. Still makes me laugh, although I probably shouldn't!
"And that is how my parents traumatised me and gave me PTSD at 12."

Went to visit my 82 yr old mother in law in Wales and she proudly showed us one of these that she recently purchased from a mail order catalogue. She had really thought it was for massaging her neck. My wife and I looked at each other and wondered who was going to tell her. But first I asked if she had shown it to anyone else. She said not really, only the Rev. Hayworth last weekend.😅
I've seen girls about 12 buy these. Funny when it's granny but kinda wrong when it's actual kids
Ah, memories of taking my "Operation" game to bits, to find that its off-centre weighted motor was the thing making the noise when you hit the sides of the body openings. What a dumb game, but I guess I learned something from it after all.
See the recent PileOfStuff video for his upgrade to his brothers Operation game with a hockey siren.
Now you can homebrew your own Operation game.

LOL I remember scavenging the nose-bulb from my Operation game to use in my Radio Shack electronics project kit. (150-in-1? 250-in-1? I don't remember.)
I directly connected the 9v battery to the 3v bulb. 🤪 Oopsie!
Absolutely perfect for repairing my kid's drone. Landed in a tree and burnt out one of the motors. Cheers Clive.
You may experience mild amusement every time you see it fly. Personally I don't give a flying fffwell, you know
Interesting. I hope the motor lasted long enough. But what happened with the drone? Or did you forget it while in the tree?
You know, they sell new motors on Ebay, some as cheap as 1 pound ($1.27).
Depends if it's the same. Kv rating.
I tried to repair a friend's lad's drone and ordered a drone motor on Aliexpress, had to order a second one because I hadn't got the correct rpm version. Plus you need CW or CCW motors, red/blue or black/white if I recall correctly.
@@twotone3070 CW/CCW is for propellers, motors will spin in any direction
Clive, thanks for taking the time to measure the shaft. It's often difficult to size them just from a phone photo, and it's always good policy to know what you're getting into.
Or, what's getting into you. :zany
Needs a banana for comparison.
Stumbled on to this video, I have to say, one of the best videos I have seen on RUclips. I have no need for a small motor but found this very interesting. Your voice and pronunciation of words is truly magnificent. I am now going to see what else you have uploaded. I'm intrigued.. Thank you for making my day.
when I was in england, those were still pink and bigger.
damm shrinkflation at it again
Edit : I'm talking about the model from Poundland
been saying that about my knob for years
Give it a few years, everything gets smaller 😅
You can still use it sideways though
5mm? It's not the size of the shaft that matters, it's what you do with it.
Only men ever say that. Worried men. Not me.
these are one of the worst nose uncloggers i have ever tried
not only that the nose is still clogged but it also got bigger (the nose not the nose unclogger)
As Red Green says, "If the ladies don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
This appears to be both handsome and handy. I'm sure it's a hit with the ladies.
We're all in this together. Keep your stick on the ice.
Look, Big Clive sent me. I'm just buying it for the motor. Yes, i would like a carrier bag please. Thank you
Plain brown wrapper, not a shop branded one as well. Oh yes, a pack or three of spare batteries as well.

A friend wants to know if that was from the £5 range? 😂
I think it was £2.
@@bigclivedotcomspotted these at my local Poundland and indeed they are £2

I'm wondering what these would sound like on an electric guitar or bass, as opposed to using an ebow..
I feel satisfied, relieved and relaxed after watching this video. Thank you!

That tiny little motor couldn't 'pound' anything! ... Mine plugs into the National ⚡ Grid! 👍😜
"This video is a fascinating dive into the inner workings of everyday items. I love how you break down the process of extracting the motor. Great job!"
I'm very mature. I didn't start giggling until I saw the note with the arrow and the word "IN" next to it.
showing using the linear calipers as a depth gauge; brilliant. thanks. saves me having to get a seperate gauge. I hadn't spotted that functionality
What did you think the pokey bit was for?
@@emmajacobs5575 something that made it awkward to put in the case! :-)
It would have been easier to use the shoulder on the other end intended for that purpose. The pokey bit is used for measuring hole depths usually.
Crazy world we live in where it's easier to get an adult pleasure toy at short notice than it is a useful motor.
Small electric motors aren’t really useful by themselves, and they’re not usually seen as a replaceable component either.
That’s why they’re not something individuals purchase very much unless the motor is part of a device or they’re doing tinkering/prototyping as a lot of us here do.
Such a small shaft brings a lot of enjoyment 🤣
Personally speaking, I like a much bigger shaft! 👍😜
Sooo many innuendoes in this video, I lost count we he started measuring the motor, I lost it at "length" and "shaft" 😂😂😂
We're just normal men.

I remember a similar model being used in a particular channel when they made a concrete keyboard.
@@DefaultFlameyeah, I just found that video recently. The channel is KatlynAndEvan or EvenAndKatlyn, something like that.
This device left the factory thinking it was going to the holy land instead it gets dissected.
what do you mean usually?
how often are you taking these apart?
(the motor) "should pull right out" said the actress to the bishop 😅
Did the clerk at Poundland look at you funny? 😂
Unfortunately it did ask for age verification and he stared at it for a second then did a double take on me.
@@bigclivedotcomsurely they all know you by now as “the guy who buys literally anything electronic”?
I do wonder at the calibre of staff at Poundland - I bought some disposable box cutters before Christmas last year, and was asked for age confirmation. The fact that I'm 6'2", bald, beardy, and sixty, didn't seem to register. Showing my driving licence didn't help him much either, as he couldn't work out how old I must be if I was born in 1963...
Even with more innocent items, it's a common problem when you live alone. For example, if you buy a single carrot, they look at you like they're thinking "he's going to stick it up his arse". So now I always buy _two_ carrots. I can always eat the other one.
(Frankie Boyle joke, IIRC)
@bigclivedotcom did you tell him its OK, you have an online video channel?
A few years back, I used one of those, powered by 3V, to vibrate small castings of plaster of Paris on silicone molds, to remove air bubbles.
Thats actually pretty clever lol

I recall some vintage mail order catalogs that sold large "personal massagers"........ I always found the photo of the model using it on her neck to be quite funny.
I see stuff like that on aliexpress. Sometimes theyre advertised as fruit juicers or meat tenderizers (which i suppose is accurate) but its just blatantly phalic or a knockoff hitachi.
It's known as a 'Flange adjuster' 😉
This combined with a fast moving reciprocating internal linear motor would sell like hotcakes.

Belated congrats on 1M!! Clive never fails to entertain with these random electric gizmo teardowns.
I was sort of expecting Clive to stuff a load of va... er... "gutter grenade" Li-Ion batteries in it and a USB charging circuit for the people who needs longer run times and more aggressive wobbling..
Device improv in Ja Booty! Fingers crossed not wires crossed 💥
I loved how he has zero shame sharing that the shaft is around 1mm in girth. Don't worry, it's the length of the shaft that's important.
It's designed to be small and quiet for mobile use.
I saw a woman using one in a car in a parking lot when I was 20 years old and didn't know what was going on.
It’s got quite a narrow Shaft.
My personal experiences of Poundland motorised gadgets is that the motors fails before the batteries runs down so.... good luck with that.
For £2, if it gets you off once, it's not bad value...
I love how they make these “back massagers” so portable because everyone needs to keep one on them at all times?
Been looking for a tiny motor to be embedded into my zander lure - cavitation, sonoluminescence, you know the stuff.
And upload bursting full of inuendos. Ending with a 1mm diameter "shaft"... Oh, how satisfying.
Open the cell? 😅
Looks like a model of musks starship, presumably it comes with directions on where he can stick it🙈

"I have no intention of using this thing AGAIN"?
One would think, judging by the name of the store that this device would be unessary.
An improvement, normally the inner sleeve is well stuck down with a solvent weld, and yes I have salvaged lots of those motors, and often enough a rather interesting reduction gearbox as well, complete with a crank to make linear motion as well. Will say that, despite being sealed really well, they are also not waterproof, or liquid proof. Yes not really repairable, but I always had lots of those to use when young, and the failure modes on them invariably involved corroded connections, or open wires or switches. The rudimentary speed control, steel wire wound on a piece of wire insulation, was surprisingly robust, though again prone to poor contacts. They also did not like running on 12V from a used car battery, for some reason, lots of glowing steel, and melted plastic, and motors that turned into light emitting devices for a few fun seconds.
_"I always had lots of those to use when young"_
As a young lad I had loads of electrical/electronic stuff to salvage for parts, often donated from relatives or bought for pennies at local jumble sales. However I didn't have any of these 🤣
@@ferrumignis Well it did help that the business I was in was selling them, and in large numbers as well. ^ monthly order from Hong Kong, and every year another from Pipedream as well. Still got the Rush clocks....
I like the new desk surface.
perhaps Big Clive had to change it .?
Travelling, so improvising.
Great little motor. I think this would come in exceptionally handy for a model railway loco. Leaving the weight on would have it quivering down the track 😂

That motor was why i bought 6 of them in one trip. Good little motors.
And if anyone has arthritis in their fingers its worth trying one. 😀
The shaft is only 1mm thick, and only 5mm long?
Poor you. 😊
It's what you do with it, etc., etc.
It's got a big lopsided lump on the end, though.
My 83 year old mother was always buying stuff online.
One day I hear this buzzing sound and look over and she has this 6" long pink 'rod' that she's rubbing her feet with.
I said 'I don't think you're using that right' and she thought for a moment and said 'it's says its a personal massager' before it dawned on her what it actually was.
She was absolutely horrified. 😂
The most unsafe thing I've seen on this channel. An unflared base!
lol I bet they are very familiar with this model at the emergency room
When such a probe travels into the depths of Uranus there is a risk it won’t return.
Clive seems to be quite the connoisseur of these devices… no doubt he’ll reassemble it and paint it pink.
I just wanted the video of you buying it. 😂😂😂
I wish I had videoed it. The till asked for age verification and the guy did a double take on me.
I’m impressed that little motor can run on 30-50milliamps!
No load, a big load 😊
I sometimes marvel at the price you can get components from poundland. It also negates having to buy 100 of the thing you want one of just to get a good price per part.
Next week, Clive will be testing the full size version, with realistic veins...

True fact I used to sell these for £9.99. I guess the shop I worked for could be classed as ripping them off but they never saw it coming. ;-)
There's cheap thrills, then there's Poundland thrills...
I used one of these as a random key pad hitter for a musical (circuit bent)instrument. Mine had a remote control for different patterns 🤣❤️‼️
😂😂😂 it actually says that Poundland that is for massage
These motors works great when you want buzz notification like your phone does but in larger 3d printed housings. The high frequency vibrations from a phone motor tends to get absorbed by the properties of the printing plastic. I'm going to tell our local pi/arduino electronics shop to add poundland to their supplier list.
I can hear the comments now "sooo... my girl friend is mad at me" haha
Some nice attention given to the shaft. Well done!
True Story - when pager company were looking for a motor for a vibrating alarm in a pager design, a young engineer was sent to the local sex shop to buy something like this to find out where they got the motors.
Great tool for settling cement in mini molds. 🤔
Those devices have more oomph if you swap the 1.5v batt for a 4.2v one.
But then, if something goes horribly wrong it can fuck up everyone in the vicinity.
Boost that shit to 36v
There's this RUclips channel "Aboringday" where some guy from Hong Kong likes to wire cheapo toy tat up to a programmable DC power supply, then slowly increases the voltage... :D
I have about 4 of these little motors. In my case, however, the counter-weights are so difficult to remove that they still remain on all 4. The weights appear to be several metal plates glued together in a stack, and are crimped onto the motor-shaft by what must be a beast, probably hydraulic in nature. I have not been able to free them despite my most destructive efforts.
so many in your end oes 😂
Ah yes, a Sinus Unclogger. I remember using Grandma's all the time when I was little. I got a lot of stuffy noses and that little buzzer would loosen it all right up!

Some cats might like it.
Mrs Slocombe would phrase the question better...
Might work as a cat toy all on it's own...
It was originally designed for pussies so I'm sure Tiddles would love it.
Electronics and innuendo, what a combo! :-)
Your poor side cutters! 😶
Construction of that toy reminds me of the Oral-B Pulsar disposable electric toothbrush. Motor in the toothbrush is quite a bit smaller, 6mm OD X 12 mm long, but runs for about 3 months worth of thrice a day brushing on a AAA alkaline cell. The toothbrush is rather more expensive at $12 for a 2 pack (bought by accident about a year ago, non-motorized toothbrushes had been about $8 for a two pack, they look the same and I just figured inflation).
I really don’t know what those cheap vibrating toothbrushes are good for. As far as cleaning your teeth, they’re as effective as humming a tune while using a regular brush. And for other “personal” purposes they just seem a bit too underpowered. 😉
is that an electrical suppository?
Yes, indeed!
Took me a sec to get the “irony” of this being from Poundland. If you’ll excuse me, I need a moment to remember how to breathe.
