How I Greatly Improved My Cheap Microscope
In this video I take my old, cheap educational microscope and extensively upgrade it for better usage and video-making capabilities. I add an xyz stage, a 2K digital camera running at 10 to 15 fps, and an epi-illumination assembly to give the microscope the capability to do reflected-light microscopy. Since all the upgrades are completely DIY, it is also possible to continue upgrading it for other types of microscopy like dark-field or polarized light microscopy.

    I am wondering if in the designing stages it would benefit if you in cooperte the hyperdrive motor from LG or Samsung washing machine ( The pancake type) why i ask this? Ciz i re wired this motor half as a motor with 5 strands of 0.35 at 3 meters per pole at the three pole shorted for all 18 poles and the other 18 re wired as jumping every two all round and inly one shorting as is originals done but now with copper wire and 1 mm wire. The motor spins soo fast and produces iver 250 volts AC and use it for a 2000 watt cooking coil element and all lights and it does not heat or even warm up. I use 48v dc , 1000 watt dual controller ( No sensors. My other question, how to improve this easily available hyperdrive motor and hybrid it to be like and work like the radial flux motor you just made? Mist inovators or diys dont have a 3D printer.

      @BirdbrainEngineer 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It can not be used as a drone motor, no. It is capable of generating enough thrust to lift multiple times its own weight, so while theoretically it would be possible to use these as drone motors or for an rc plane, in practice the 3d printed parts of the motor would just quite literally melt if they had to output that much power all the time. Sure, you could use polycarbonate filament, which does not start to soften before getting up to about 130-140C, but because plastics are such poor conductors of heat, that temperature would still be reached within the motor eventually.

      @@ladisquera The first video is not possible for me to see. On the second video, the design is fine, I actually haven't seen one where two block magnets are used like that to make a slightly more wedgle-shaped magnet, so that's pretty interesting and nice. I do fear however, that the fairly low gauge wire used means that it is not able to take high loads for long (especially since the wire is encased in a 3d printed part, which is not the best against heat, as I said a few days ago), in addition the washer that is used as a back-iron will work fine but adds a lot of mass (as its usually too thick for what it needs to be) and so might make the motor unsutable for drone/rc aircraft use cases. As a nice demonstration it's certainly a good motor though. The third video improces on the previous design by adding more copper wire, which means either more amperage can go through the motor or it will produce more torque at a lower speed. It's nice to see him testing the motor. Unfortunately that test revelas that the motor is quite weak. 100g of reaction force (ie if it was using a propeller then the propeller would produce 100g of thrust) at 3 to 4A of current @12V (48W) is quite bad. The motor in my video was producing about 2x the reaction force at the same amperage... Though my motor also burned out much faster than his motor would burn out at that load, so it's got that going for it. the fourth video is not possible for me to see. fifth video is the nicest design... not sure but it seems like he might have used magnetic filament for the electromagnet cores, which is definitely better than just PETG or something. Lets check his 90% efficiency claim: Assuming no foul play with the numbers, I took a frame at end of his test: 1.13A * 12.3V = 13.9W of input power, resulting in 2203 RPM and 78.9g of force at 75mm distance, resulting in 0.058Nm of torque, therefore the mechanical power out is 13.38W, giving an efficiency of 13.38W/13.9W = 96% efficiency. Honestly, it feels like it's a bit too high for a 3d printed motor but if true, then it's a very nicely made motor. That wire gauge seems to be around 22AWG or so, which means it should be capable of holding the demonstrated power long-term without melting. So if any, then this one is one that could be useful.

You also need to keep in mind that higher N numbers almost always mean lower curie points, which means your magnets will demagnetize at a lower temperature too. Most N52 magnets shouldn't go above 60C iirc.

No backiron for the stators, no cores for the stator electromagnets, uses circular permanent magnets in the rotor, and while they do their tests with 4A current, there's absolutely no way it could sustain that current for longer than a minute without melting the 3d printed body. I'm slowly but surely making an e-bike motor that mostly uses off the shelf components and 3d printed parts (just life been keeping me from working on projects), and even that one is going to be tickling the edge of what is possible with 3d printed chassis.

      If by 2nd one you mean smooth-life, then so would Lenia, as Smooth-life is a subset of Lenia :P As far as I know however, no, neither Smooth-life or standard Lenia could simulate quantum mechanics because they are non-linear systems while the Schrödinger equation is a linear system. In a way you could think of it this way - most cellular automata, including all of the ones shown here, "destroy" information about what came before (making them impossible to simulate in reverse, only to guess states that came before), whereas quantum mechanics can be simulated forwards or backwards (apart from the act and moment of measurement; The measurement problem is one of the most important unsolved problems in physics today).

    The problem is not your design, its your controller. ESCs are made to drive trapezoidal EMF BLDCs with concentrated windings. Distributed windings have a sinusoidal shape, which means that even if the control method was correct, you would have a lot of torque ripple and very low efficiency. You need a switched reluctance driver made for distributed windings.

      You are correct in that a VFD driver would work much better for this and that a normal ESC would be less efficient and all... But the point never was to make an efficient motor, but to see whether it worked at all.

    Side note about the PWM speed signal for PC fans: 25khz is the Intel spec for PC fans, the actual operation window for a lot of fans tends to be a LOT looser. To the point where its pretty much just looking at consecutive pulse widths, and almost ignoring frequency (sorta, but it basically feels like that sometimes). Also, for the players at home, beware server fans, not all blue wires are speed signals. Server fans typically come with a 'rotor lock' feature that will either send 12v down, or connect ground to, that wire. If its 3 wire and its black red blue, that is power and rotor lock, not tach or speed in. READ YOUR DATA SHEETS!!!! Or you could blow your controllers. I personally test with LEDs and see how the wires behave for odd colors or arrangements there of. Oh, and make sure you attach the gnd of the MCU and the fan.

    I have a cheap AM scope that is even worse than that one, at least yours has a iris, mine is just a disk with holes in it.....yeah...and its off center.....yeah.... Anyhoozle, Ive been able to correct a fair amount of the chromatic aberration by better aligning the stage to the optics. Basically wiggle it around, not just in translation XY but roll and pitch too (idk, add some screws somewhere as jack screws for modifying the plane of the stage to the optical path). There is a lso the stop spring detent thingy under the nose on the turret, you can loosen that and see if there is a more advantageous stop angle. You could try reseating the turret (take the head off, remember how the 3 screws are set so you can recenter it (another potential source of aberration btw), then remove the penta mirror holder (another source of potential misalignment, I had to use a pipe wrench to get mine loose), THEN work on breaking the nut loose that affixes the turret to the nose (oddly enough, its usually in there solidly enough that....well everything aligns to it pretty much...), but thats on you if you want to take on effectively an entire garage realignment(OH! By the by....you can open up the rotating section of the turret too via the screw and spanner nut in-between the objectives (the screw holds the rotating objective mount on, and the spanner nut sets the turning tension (IIRC), ie how much resistance there is to turning it once you overcome the detent) BE CAREFUL!!! There is a handful of tiny little ball bearings in that thing....so be prepared to wrangle them if you go in there)....it can be kinda frustrating....but they dont really put too much effort into setting up these cheap-o scopes from the factory. When I got mine I had to take the lenses apart because there was mold in them.....yeah.... Work slowly and incrementally, and you should hit on an orientation that counteracts the aberration you see down the tube. I guarantee you're aberration problems are more to do with alignment than your lighting set up. Either way, fiddle with it, thats what the hacker/maker hobby is all about ;)

    Your magnetic flux paths is through or normal to the pancake surface, so it will make eddy currents in the plane of the windings creating the magnetic flux, offset by gap. So the thin sheet, or not so thin sheet, is thin in the wrong dimension for breaking up eddy current areas into smaller, less lossy ones. Giant toroid cores can be cut into sections that are approximately the shape you have. Like a 1/3 of a toroid. The powder core does not need orientation like soft steel layers do. If the material can be had, and a way to fire the shape, you can make your own custom core shapes. Liked this video, shows curious not afraid of failing, just want to learn mode. :)

    a permanent magnet synchronous motor, if you dont have the field windings connected to power source, can you freewheel the motor without resistance? I mean just in general with type of motor? Can a brushless hub motor be considered a synchronous motor?

    My friend. You did a great great job here. Please let me know if I can help you with magnetic fem simulations. We can save a lot of time with them. I'm also designing a two rotor axial flux motor for e-bikes myself. Just in my case, I'm going for SRM instead of switched reluctance because I'm focusing in cost effectiveness and simplicity But your design is very interesting Great job

    I am currently working on building my own cheap actuators in-house for my robotics projects and this video has been invaluable to my efforts. Thank you.

      Hahaha, same... Though usually it's more... sharp geometric shapes for me :P Though for-real, while working on this project, I did see proper lenia-like stuff when closing eyes to go to sleep haha.

    Thats a long name for a electric motor😅...lets dig in

    Please do make another axial flux motor project. Thank you

      Working on one right now... just been busy and sick for the past few months.

    10mins in and im telling you, youve just create a wonder/magic. All i need now is to watch this video multiple times to properly assimilate this axial flux concept because im sooo used to radial flux.

    Okay okay... 3:27 here, let say i want a balance between speed and torque(or should i say efficient speed and torque) what will, hypothetically, be the best configuration for the coils and magnetic pole? This is probably a future question that im asking now😂

    • @BirdbrainEngineer
      @BirdbrainEngineer 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Generally you'll want a high winding factor, a good resource for bldc motors is things-in-motion.blogspot.com/2019/01/selecting-best-pole-and-slot.html

    Wow. Awesome project really, the way you set up the coils and ferromegnetic look very nice but I bet they were a pain in the a... to set up. I am actually trying to build a wind turbine generator and came up with faulhabercoils in the stator and a double rotor (on top and underneath). Those faulhabercoil windings are very nice, because you don't come up with lots of wire outside the magnetic fields, the downside is, that the magnetic fields do not cross the wire in 90° angle. This is (maybe) the cause why you have to 'kickstart' your motor. Love your work!
