SpudStuff is rite about the hand winding, it is a mastered art! I rewound a Chevy altanator for kicks, I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!! And that is a much bigger easier scale, i think my little copper wire was touching something it wasn't saposed to and up in smoke it went as soon as i started the engine.Any how you can also try ebay for the motor, there's a lot of hobby stuff all the time for sale. |
Well I'm pretty skilled in engineering. Once I learn how to do it, I'm good at it.
If someone can post a guide or pictures of the internals....
Ok. Here's what I know so far...
-Magnets on both sides of armature
-Armature is an electromagnet
-Axle connected to armature
-Coiled wires around armature
-Brushed transfer power from batteries to motor.
Ok...Can I use neodynium magnets? And where can I find an electromagnet? What's the power mainly based on (batteries, magnets, electromagnet...)? |

| When you rap copper wire around iron ore, and energize it, that is your electromagnet. The sphear shaped magnets circleing the electromagnet are positioned in a way so the poles create a circlelure force field around the armiture/electromagnet, and when you power it up, it makes it spin. Thats the size of my understanding of it. As for the materails/kind of magnets, i'm sure the stronger the magnets, the stronger the force field, the faster the spin! |
