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.

Whether using standard iron cores or exploring cutting-edge 3D printing methods, the principles of electromagnetism remain central to motor design. This blend of foundational knowledge with modern technological advances highlights the continuous evolution in engineering practices, offering both practical insights and a glimpse into future possibilities.

[@jim-cu9yp]

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

[@architkulshrestha2439]

Just studied it in my textbook Now watching practical Thanks Paul❤️❤️

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

[@58thfathom]

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.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Seen the new LED explained video? so much detail covered! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWmwY61ona6Vl8k

[@tensevo]

Very good teaching aid. You could use spring loaded concave bushes on the commutator, also run 3 stators and rotors spaced 120 degrees apart.

[@MrDsr001]

I am totally satisfied.

[@rockytoptech1308]

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 😇

[@mikem9270]

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]

That doesn't sound too good.

[@UltraGamma25]

A teacher is supposed to help their students understand. Not go, "figure it out yourself." Engineering and physics is incredibly complex.

[@zyamshirwani5175]

@@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

For hobbyists and enthusiasts looking to explore more advanced materials, metal 3D printing presents an exciting frontier. This technology, which involves using metal powder and sintering it with lasers, allows for the creation of complex and precise motor components. While this method is costly and typically requires external services for production, it opens up new possibilities for custom and intricate designs that were previously unattainable with traditional manufacturing techniques. It’s a fascinating example of how modern technology intersects with traditional engineering.

[@jnhook8086]

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 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@thelogicalthinker3919]

As a tyro these things are quite delphic and confusticate me but thanks to good pedagogues like you for making them luculent.

Holy Smokes! You are brilliant at presenting these topics.

[@lukedeets5016]

I'm definitely going to try this project. as soon as I can get 6 massive n52 magnets.

[@williamjohnston2336]

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.

[@kolupulaakhil2931]

Use small carbon materal or grafite at the contact of commutator

[@sunnybandkr5775]

So carbon dont produce spark

[@john.rambo6882]

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.

[@valmirknasel]

Excelent video! If we atach gears in the shaft, we can make a manual eletric current generator instead of an eletric motor...

[@Ankitea]

Hatts off bro 🤜 You make my project easily!

[@mattjonesturbo1]

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.

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

[@afoolsinfinite2123]

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.

[@ahmopasa]

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.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Yes you can perform calculations, you should build one and experiment with it.

You could probably add some carbon graphite brushes at the ends of your commutator arms to reduce the sparks.

[@puderbaerbaer9323]

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

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..

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).

[@EngineeringMindset]

As shown in the video, you can order the parts 3D printed online. I also showed one I made from wood.

[@austina23]

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

[@zakary3190]

We are still waiting for your videos so that we can learn the ingenering thank you

[@brianturner8477]

Use capacitors to reduce arcing on the commutator

[@Toschomacher]

you can improve the motor by puting copper or metal bloks instead of two wires.

How do you get a good connection at the commutator with enameled wire?

[@WTFBRUTUS]

I thought Flemings left hand rule was the three pointer celebration in 🏀 👀🧐🧐

[@audiocorgan]

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

[@EngineeringMindset]

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.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Seen our new - How wind turbines work video? link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpebaGibhLuljKs

[@CryT4x]

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

[@MarkovChains223]

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

[@EngineeringMindset]

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.

[@francescoruggiero7140]

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.

[@codingwithflavio8534]

THis video iiss so goodddddddd

[@thilankacbandaragamage9939]

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 .

Can you make a video on building induction motor?

[@kabandajamir9844]

So nice

[@specops1010]

We can place a reverse biased diode to protect power supply from voltage spikes and comutator from sparking. Its the simplest solution and there are probably better ones, but it should get the work done

[@yassineelq2537]

Can you tell us how to place the reverse biased diode on the wires?

[@specops1010]

If you have a DC motor then you connect positive and negative to the motor. In that situation the diode will have to be connected between motor terminals in the way that it doesnt conduct when you put the voltage from the power supply across it. So the cathode of the diode (marked with white strip) will be connected to the positive of the supply. With AC motor its not possible unless you first rectify the current via bridge rectifier, then its the same as with the DC motor.

[@blehprojects5776]

So it took me forever but I finally built this! Unfortunately I can’t get it to spin. :(. Any ideas? Does it matter which way the wire is wound? Is there such a thing as winding TOO MUCH wire?

[@EngineeringMindset]

It'll likely be the commutator pressing too hard, the magnets not strong enought or not enough current in the winding
