Build a DC Motor - Step by Step

I made a video a couple of years ago and it didnt do a good job of explaining how to build the motor. This video should have every step needed. Good luck building it. Thank you to Jacob Yarnell...Tim

If you have the dollars to spare - you can always buy us a beer. Any beer donations appreciated. (Do not buy me a beer if you are a poor student!)

Hey tim! Love the video! The bolt you have with the nuts on it is called all-thread. The white pipe is pvc pipe, and the blue is called conduit, and the copper pieces are pipe brackets

Would have been great if you had the supplies/materials listed in the description box.

It was either the titanic movie or this video, glad I picked this video. 110/109% educational

Damn, this video was incredibly useful, I have to make a motor for a physics project and this was a very big help, thanks

Did you have to give it a push, or it starts by itself? Me and my brother use to make those when we were kids but we had to start them by hand; we used bicycle spoke for shaft, Ï transformer plate for rotor, old relay wires for winding, antenna tube for bushing, and commutator. I took great care building mine, I coiled the spirals by side without gaps 2 layers on each side of Ï plates. It would make me mad because my brother would coiled his just like you did, he wouldn't take the time to coil it beautifully, but his would turn faster then mine every time. One day I will make a replica and post it! Thanks guys, it brought me old memories! I will never forget the smell caused by the friction of brush and commutator after being ON for a while!!!

No swearing, i'm doing a video. Lol what a bad ass teacher. Can tell it is probably an awesome learning environment.

This video was great but it would really be nice of you could post a simple supply list I spent 1 hour in lowes rewinding

[mr.unknown]

Nice motor
Just a few
1. How much power magnets you used. From how much maximum distance each can deflect the compass needle???
2. How much wire you used for making solenoid or say how much wraps???
3. Will it work well when I created a potential difference of 9V??? Or upto 18 V using a dc battery???

Olá amigo!
Parabéns pelo excelente vídeo, gostei do motor caseiro.

[robertturner]

Very good video :) helped with my own design! Thanks for putting the time in.

Gonna try this to my bicycle bottom bracket.

[andrewcastillo]

So am I supposed to use right hand rule and use my thumb as direction of magnetic field to point out towards the magnets? For both sides?

23:40 if you mark with a sharpie first, then scribe with the calipers, you will achieve a more accurate, fine line.

What would be some ways to maximize the output? Is it better to have a bigger pipe, or smaller? ect

[SolidPayne]

Hopefully my dad will help me buy the supplies for this.

"You sure it's recording?"
"Yes!"

well i didnt watch the whole thing, but already im shocked about how short time it takes you to build it and how efficient it is, so if i build it maybe a tiny bit more efficient and a lot bigger i maybe could get 1 hp out of this to move a small car, def making one thnx for explaining, just i want to ask you, how much hp does this produce? and also how much torque can it do?

[AndresP]

The wire coils on mine are getting really hot, can soneone explaiin? Im using a Milwaukee battery, shoukd i use some 9 volt batterys

[andrewfetterolf]

If the wire is not insulated, how could you wrap it around on its self without it shot circuiting the coils and just taking the short cut through all the wires that are touching?
