Unlock the Potential of Your Old Hard Drives: Build a Drone Engine!

[@lostworld-2024-m5m]

I saw a fan turning at 7,000 RPM and not any DRONE to show it capacity to act as so. The cooling fan has no aerodynamic profile , may be you should test it with a Drone propeller to show if it can lift a battery and all the stuffs together . Does that motor has enough torque to turn a real propeller at 7,000 RPM ?

how to separate magnets from their support they are glued on ? without damaging them ?

[@chrislong3938]

@@franckzippo I've never found it to be very easy. I used to just pry, the magnet or bend the plate in the hope that they'd come apart. I have lots of drives to fool around with but haven't tried in a very long time. I've even had magnets 'explode' on me where they just come apart into a mass. There might be good videos out here that have good ideas! If you can find really old 5.25" Seagate drives with linear actuators from about 1985 or so, they have enormous magnets in them compared to what can be found in newer drives from about 1990 on.

[@zippy777l]

Unfortunately there is an awful lot missed out on this. I just spotted that another screw had to be extracted from the cover to enable it to be taken off, which is under the information sheet at the back, and which has to be exposed by stripping off a small piece of the sheet. Again, we aren't informed what the orange controller does, or how to get hold of a suitable one. If you're in the know, bully for you. And although I accept that the computer fan was put on merely to make the point, it would have been much more useful to have a proper propeller, and to have some indication of the lift ability. Fan speed doesn't hack it here. And the motor weight? You have to be kidding. This sort of clip is much more to the point if the old drive is used for some sort of small sanding or grinding tool. But not a drone, no way.

[@donalain69]

Along with the disk, it makes an excellent gyroscope...

[@dc6233]

Look at a Dremel itself, which has a dedicated motor to being a sanding and grinding tool and 120V. It has no torque whatsoever and is very easy to stall. I doubt a disc drive would have even a fraction of the torque that a typical rotary tool does. Curious to see if he actually tries to build a drone with this motor or by using 4 of them??

[@CnRSPACE]

Plenty of people have used these to make working drones. The orange controller is an ESC electronic speed controller for RC model motors. The dial he uses is a PWM to control the ESC. Also the only two most important factors in RC model drones is RPM of the motor and its weight other than input values. Thrust is calculated from RPM + propeller characteristics so in terms of making a drone the only other important factor is motor weight.

[@TheOnlyonejeep]

that looks cool...what is under the heat shrink how is it wired to motor? that is puzzling

[@PrinzKenny1]

Under the heatshrink is an ESC. Since hard drive motors are BLDC motors, they have 3 phases whereas each phase is connected to a pair (or multiple) of coils inside the motor. Normal DC motors just require + and - and they run. For BLDC motors it's different because you need to turn on and off the coils in a specific order and at the right time. That's what the ESC does. A simple ESC contains 6 mosfets to be able to spin the motor forward and reverse (some might only have 3 mosfets, which would result in only forward motion. You can take a look at full H bridge or half H bridge if you want to take a deeper look). Besides the mosfets there's also an IC which does all the calculations for controlling the three phases according to the input signal from the potentiometer. There's way more to it, but I hope this helps for a brief understanding of what's going on :)
