If it has sufficient torque I would think you could use just two poles opposite one another to slow it down. You could also balance the lid with non-magnetic weights if necessary.
Hi Lidmotor, thanks for an interesting upload. These motors are interesting but why not explore how to make one that does useful work - produces useful torque - turns a fan blade, moves a load? It is intriguing that power is from a super cap. It could also be from a solar cell or supercap or battery charged from a solar cell. How much run current does this circuit draw? I wonder if the circuit can be made more efficient by not wasting energy moving the reed switch arm mass. Perhaps a mosfet switch? Where can I see the schematic of your driver circuit? Thanks
For a what you are considering I would use about 26ga magnet wire and several hundred turns. Make sure the rotor turns very very easily, you use strong neo magnets, and put tape around the magnets so they don't fly off.
Hii Thanks for video and good explanations. Your engines are great I want to built a pulse motor that will work non stop years and don t know what bearing to use ( I don t have sophire glass and can t buy) . I have a mendocino motor with point bearing made by a steel ball from a ball bearing . After a few weeks of running on the glass and on the steel ball start to be wear signs and the friction increased .( I believed will last years but no!!! ) I think perhaps the solution is the point bearing made by steel ball on glass surface submerged in oil will wear much much less if the oil will enter between steel ball and glass. Oil will increase drag but need to make some compromises.. Or to use a real bearing . A miniature type . Have you a better idea???
I don't know. I only have one Maggie and she is on vacation right now. If she was here I would try her. The more pickup coils you add the more drag on the rotor but that would be an interesting experiment. Thanks for the question.
you could make a zoetrope lid pulse motor. thatd be really cool. if you get time i uploaded a video of a simple motor inspired by your videos, check it out if you have time.
I really like your channel but you should turn your channel into a tutorial channel like lucid science channel and not assume everyone watching understands the theory behind the projects you make. please make some noob tutorials so electronics noobs can tap your inner nurd.
some late thoughts. you may know that this config is a bldc Outrunner. a typical pulse motor, that has just a few half-poles, is of no practical use; a Do-Nothing. why is this true. when a motor has just a few half-poles, the rotor is COASTING most of the time. on the other hand, where a large radius (bldc outrunner) rotor is driven by multiple poles, there can be a LOT of MA, near the rotor's center of rotation. this is THE reason that an outrunner can swing a prop, without the need for gearing, on a model airplane. see f&p 'smartdrive' motors, re-purposed. (if interested, see my ou research). googletranslate www.fisherpaykeltechnologies.com/products/direct-drive-motors/
Lidmotor lid motors are so satisfying to make :-)
*|_**__.___|_*_ _*_)---^----(_*_ (*___.___*) endless fun.
I wasn't talking about you making a lead motor I was talking about you experimenting with new
Please give the circuit diagram that which u have mounted on the bread board 1:16
Google 'simple reed switch electric motor images'. Take your pick.
could you post the schematic for the driver unit please, just starting out in this field

How can I make such a motor just running around 60 rpm?

How would it go with 25 litter white plastic bucket from food industry 😮
The lid would work fine. Just scale everything up. Try it.
Lidmotor I think I am ready to build my first lid motor . What gauge wire do you suggest for my big bobbin and how many turns ?

i did built using the "table fan frame"
Lidmotor cool 😎 will do this in next couple of months .

How about using a box fan? It might be a super efficient fan motor. On the other hand resistance might be futile...
I have done something like that using a small 12v box fan. It worked but not very well.
Pretty cool
How many maggies will work around it?

Great
You gone full circle back to the "Lid" motor
What comes around goes around------and around ---and around.......

I have been thinking about doing a few full tutorial videos on some of most popular projects.
please make them completely idiot proof. "stick this wire in this hole with left hand" (no need to understand why)
Go big or stay home! haha...
Nice vid!
I just noticed that you say in-er-es'ting instead of in-Ter-es'ting... :)
Ha. In-er-es'ting is Lid slang. Who needs Ts anyway. haha.
