  • Gearbox and water pump are not new things in this channel, but I was thinking to make the best, most powerful, and insane soo far what I have ever done. Well, here it is. Gearbox with eight engines what is driving water pump what is attached at the front.

      I like that it has some system redundancy, great for remote operation, and uses cheap motors, coupled together to get reasonable, and scalable, Power... I suggested one-way drive mechanisms on the motor, to prevent a motor failure from stopping, or slowing, the pump... I wonder if the gears could be printed in pom/delrin? Knowing zero about filament availability ;-). Also, maybe the gears could be run-in before final assembly, and run in a sealed enclosure with a light lubricant bath?

    For water-tight shaft housing, check out a "stuffing box". Basically, you make a cavity for the rod to pass through, and you stuff the area around the shaft with valve stem packing material that's a cord with graphite lubrication on it. The packing allows the shaft to turn but creates a water tight seal around it. This is how some faucets and ships have a rotating shaft that prevents water from seeping in.

    For durability upgrade on metal contact in end of the rod. Make sure both surfaces are cut straight, center punch mark on the both and drill very shallow hole using say 10mm drill bit. Get one ball bearing ball, apply little bit grease, hold it on place and tighten the bolt. This way you have smaller contact surface creating less friction and hardened ball bearing ball wont wear out that fast. If you are worried bearing falling out, there are those long nuts that you can tread over the bolt that prevent bearing ball from falling out.
    Of course this is based on what ever those gears can last more than day continuous use, but mentioned friction could start melting plastic, so its worth to do such minor modification.
    For water leaking, you can use silicone on axle and bearing inner race and make flexible disk that connects to shaft, put generous amount of grease between the disk and frame, this way if pumps pressure increases it will push disk against frame and works sort of one way valve. If pressure wont increase disk will just cause small amount of drag moving the grease around keeping healthy amount near the axle and bearing preventing water getting to bearing. Optimally you want to get water sealed bearing for that combined with silicone on both inner and outer bearing races, but that DIY sealing should work ok and for those who have difficulties to find sealed version of said bearing.

    So putting 8 motors in parallel gives you a lot of power which is great if you have a huge mass of water to displace, but it does not increase the pump speed. Perhaps though you could find a configuration to increase the speed of the motors dependent on the load exerted?

    If you disconnect up to 4 motors, you could use them to generate electricity also. You couldn't run the pump on them but you could regulate them and use them to charge other batteries like a laptop, tablet, cell phone or all 3 by regulating the outputs to different voltages. Great project!!!

    • @jeffmccrea9347
      @jeffmccrea9347 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@CyberiusT What I was referring to was the 8 motors run on 12 volts. If the pump, in a remote location, could do it's job on only 7, 6, 5, or 4 motors, any of the others could be regulated with a 7805 or 7812) 3 pin voltage regulator to charge a cell phone, tablet or laptop. At the low current required to charge these, the added friction would be almost unnoticeable and wouldn't serve to deplete the main battery faster. Plus, all brush motors produce high voltage spikes with the passing of the commutator under the brushes. These spikes can damage sensitive electronics. Eight brush motors will invariably produce these spikes at different frequencies due to differences in their manufacturing parameters. In other words, no two mass produced products are identical. If you take one motor off line and build one regulator circuit for it employing proper filtration, you can obtain a pure DC output. Trying to get a pure DC output from the spikes of eight different motors being back fed down the main power line is achievable but it would be like using a Doberman to herd cats. You would have to track down multiple frequencies from 8 different motors in a tech shop using a spectrum analyzer. This would also be true using just one motor but you would be dealing with only one set of frequencies instead of sifting through a bowl of spaghetti with a pair of tweezers or picking fly shit out of pepper.
      I know that you don't get something for nothing but it was just a thought.

      My favorite is the kid that appears to be from India or Pakistan. You never see his face but judging by the skin color of his hands, the 240 volt outlets and fixtures he uses and other visual cues around his work area, this is just my guess.
      He likes to build and show "free energy" projects. He will wins a coil of wire, solder it to the contacts of a paperless speaker
      frame along with the magnet(s) from a microwave oven. He'll set it on a table, flip a switch and light a marked 240 volt light bulb or some such other project.
      I don't know you so I don't know what you know so for you or any readers out there who wants to know how this trick works, here it is.
      Induction is the ability to send an AC signal, like house current, from one coil to another without any direct connection. Everything from the power transformer like the older, heavier wall transformer blocks that charged cell phones years ago to the big gray trash can with wires on it on the power pole behind your house all work like
      this. An example is the transformer behind my house. There are two coils inside. The wires going from the pole are charges with 7,200 volts. Obviously, if that power was fed directly into my house, it would light up like the 4th of July just before it burned to the ground. Instead, there is a coil inside that is exactly 30 times larger than the coil wrapped around it. There is no direct connection between the two. my house is in the U.S. so most things run on 120 volts AC with some high drain things like hot water, stove, dryer and central heat and air running on 240 volts for efficiency sake. The transformer on the pole, as I said, has a coil wrapped around an inner coil. This coil has a connection tapped exactly in the middle of it's turns. This way, the high drain items in my house can be powered by the ends of this coil at 240 volts and the lower voltage, 120 volt, items can be powered by the center tap and either one end of the coil or the other.
      OK. What this kid has is a single coil plugged into a 240 volt, (his normal house current in his country), and bolted or propped up under his table. When he builds his projects, his coils are always wound to specific sizes and lengths which is what controls the voltage to the project. The microwave magnet and any peripheral parts are just for show and meaningless unless his project powers something that is DC powered. then Diodes and filter capacitors are used. When he's done, he will set the project on the table over top of the energized coil underneath. Then the bulb magically lights seemingly with no power source other than a stationary magnet and
      a coil. The bulbs that he uses are 240 volt clear glass filament bulbs and he shows the top of the bulb to prove it's rating. On the small wooden boards that he builds these projects on, there is no way that he could hide 240 volts worth of batteries. This is why he uses the bulbs that he uses. It adds to the mystery.
      Another one of his fun projects is his "super cap". Regular high capacity capacitors are just 2 sheets of aluminum foil with a paper separator. When charged, like a battery but faster, electrons build up on the negative sheet and desperately want to jump to the positive sheet but can't due to the paper separator. When a load is connected to the contacts, the electrons very jump to the positive sheet through the load very fast. This is how a camera flash gun works. I neglected to mention that the aluminum foil and paper separator and are wound into a sandwiched configuration in a round coil.
      A super cap is built much differently using something called graphene which is an atom thin layer of carbon instead of aluminum foil. It has a much, much greater capacity to store electrons so a much larger capacitor can be built in a much smaller case. Most electrolytic, (foil based) capacitors are rated in microfarads. micro meaning millionths and farads named after Michael Faraday who made many discoveries in the field of electricity in the 19th century. Super caps are rated in whole multiples of farads. A 20 farad super cap the size of a large soup can, built out of aluminum foil would be the size of a bedroom.
      This kid was building a 5000 farad "super
      cap" out a four inch tall by 3 inch wide piece of plastic pipe, aluminum foil, printer paper, two glued on plastic end caps and 2 bolts for contacts.
      He would then "charge it up" with a battery then lay a heavy piece of wire across the two bolts and watch it burn up. Impressive!
      I must say that he had talent as a video editor because you couldn't see where he stopped the video, gutted his super cap and installed 4) "D" cell batteries which would burn the wire.
      If he was selling these things in the U.S., he'd be indicted for fraud. I debunked all of his stuff available as of last year with explanations as to how it worked and wrote him that if he were to bill his "craft" as a magic show, it would be entertaining but saying that it was "free energy" would only serve to disappoint people who tried to replicate his projects and prove him to be a fraud and a liar. He's still on TH-cam.

    Suggestions, first, look into sealed thrust bearings, they would work really well in this situation. Second, leave a gap between the impeller section and the gearbox to give leaking water a place to go other than the gearbox. Third, more thoroughly seal the impeller housing and seal the gearbox, with covers for the motors. Fourth, use grease(preferably marine grease to reduce pollution issues). It should reduce noise, protect the surfaces from friction damage and help waterproof the system. Fifth, grind flats on the shaft where the set screws on the large gears will be. Set screws do better at grabbing a flat surface than a curved one. And last, look up a better impeller geometry. You can make any shape you want with a 3D printer, you might as well make an effective one
