I didn't think it was THAT small, having glanced at the thumbnail. It's so tinyyy. Amazing!!
Yeah I agree.
*Sad male noises*
Came for the Motor, Subscribed for the Clap-Snap T-shirt edit.
this is the coolest thing ive scene in a while
Incredibly cool. I'm really excited by the idea of using PCBs in novel ways like this! Very excited to see what you come up with next! 😁
4:39 building a mini arc reactor
You could change up your PCB card with etched lettering to make it one of the coolest Happy Birthday novelty cards ever with assemble your own motor. I think the older flat PCB motor is by far the coolest (that integrated circuit and how low profile it is is pretty cool, we may someday see gaming version cell phones with low profile fans with motors similar to these someday in the mainboard to get fans low profile enough). I know I was having an issue finding water pumps that were thin enough for tablets and when I saw your design I was pretty impressed (I don’t think it is enough torque for most water pumps, but it could also be super wide and move a small impeller). I’m pretty sure I’ve seen PCB motors/actuator in some appliance before, but they weren’t as good for DIY with the circuit to drive it so nice and easy to access, your design is pretty cool, still waiting for the single PCB “print a quadcopter” (which would also make a cool birthday card, get it Bluetooth smartphone controlled or something). May not make any big profit, but it would be kinda cool to show someone at the store “hey, I made that” and they respond “assembled?”, “no, I actually designed/invented that” (people’s minds would be blown away by how cool it is!)
You Just Gave Me An Idea How To make One COOL Small Antenna . Thanks ! :)
Enjoyed Your Cool Video Man, Such A Joy Watching
Love your videos, I'm impressed by your innovative PCB motor designs.
Great project! Keep up the good work.
How difficult would it be to put all the coils onto one flexible pcb? Rather than having 8 pcbs, all rigidly attached by solder, you could design a single, flexible pcb, held in place by two pieces you can 3d print. The 3d print would have grooves where the edges of the flexible pcb can fit into, keeping the flexible pcb in a specific shape. Just an idea to make this kind of motor simpler, and possibly cheaper.
I thought he answered that in the first minutes of the video...
It would be similar something to the flexi rigid idea I mentioned.. The problem I see with a whole flexible pcb is that it would be too thin to hold the bearings + it would be flexible risking to touch the rotor + the coils need to fit on 2 layers so the size of the motor would be very larger
My idea was to use a flexible pcb held in place by two 3d printed endcaps with grooves, keeping the flexible pcb somewhat rigidly mounted. The 3d printed endcaps would also hold the bearings. Think of it like a sandwich of plastic, pcb, and more plastic.
The idea is to use low cost 3d printed rigid parts, and a single flexible pcb for all of the coils, to increase simplicity and decrease cost.
I don't think the pcb would be able to flex enough to cause problems, as it'd be held in place by the two endcaps. I also don't think the size would become that much larger in comparison to what you've made. But this would reduce part count, and make assembly much easier.
I did a really rough sketch, just to help visualize it. No actual measurements were done, and this is not to scale. I sketched the original idea, flexible pcb only, and a second idea that adds a backbone behind the pcb for rigidity.

I wish you all the best.
Thanks. Good watch
You just gave me a new hobby
Oh god those poor wire clippers! Please, get proper bolt cutters or clips rated for steel shafts. Those wire clippers won't survive long, in fact unless they're specifically rated for cutting metal shafts, they are already heavily damaged. I've learned this the hard way, trust me.
Aside from that, the motor is pretty awesome!
the single bearing desing could have a second PCB attached with standoffs that holds a bearing on the other side of the rotor.
totally got the iron man feeling aswell. very nice
This pcb motor is cool omg so small any torque advantage over single pcb motor made earlier
would the axial flux design benefit from magnets both above AND below the pcb?
Well, that's amazing
Amazing video!!! Loving your videos... this was amazing. Do you feel there are any other advantages to the jigsaw motor v.s. the brushless other than it may be more accessible to make? Is it lighter as well? (what is the weight of the two PCB motors you made?) And what about the strength - what kind of torque do they have? Would be great to know! Awesome!
This seems like a fun style for a DIY kit.

*This does put a smile on my face*
Again a great work on motor design and that was a neat youtube trick of wearing the T-shirt (it's quite impressive stop motion trick from your side and a neat one).
You're quite accustomed to the camera now I guess 😊 (that's a good sign and not as before where you hesitated to be on camera 🙂👍).
Carl,
I couldn't see the placement of the smaller magnets in the inside cube but are they parallel/perpendicular to that of the orientation of the outer pcb (6 layer) coils?
The magnets are parallel to the coils 🙂 and the magnetic flux can be treated as being perpendicular to the shaft that is why they are called rotor-flux motors
Im glad I found this channel :D how far fetched it is to build a drone with there kinds of motors?
Welcome to the channel 🙂 I have already talk a little about the drone idea in this linked video but so far my prototypes doesn't have the nesseary torque to achieve it th-cam.com/video/x4EBuu4pyPw/w-d-xo.html
@@CarlBugeja Can you reach more torque with this improvement?? ---> ceme.ece.illinois.edu/projects/high-torque-density-cycloid-electric-machines-for-robotic-applications/
Couldn't you hold the shaft and put multple motors onto a single shaft then drive the outer motor w/ pully system?
Your videos are super amazing. You’ve got a lot of skill in this area. It is sometimes hard to understand you though: would you be able to put subtitles on?
It's like same sony Walkman motor or vcr drive motor almost same pcb mounts
Great out-of-the-box thinking 😊
I have wondered if you could use conductive ink to draw on paper or thin plastic to create coils by winding the paper up on a tube.
th-cam.com/video/dsEWjJJqkcI/w-d-xo.html
AWESOME! But was missing performance comparison. Will you make another one with flaws fixed?
Thanks! I did not do a speed/torque comparison because of the issues I mentioned in the video that will affect the results.. If I see potential in the project and make a MKII version to fix those issues then I will definitely do it 😀
how about stacking horizontally pcbs to make a coil that is like a ring of hand finger
Looks like it would make an interesting beginners project.
Can you use your Flexible pcbs to make a electromagnetic glove, to attach to ferromagnetic surfaces ? that would be really cool, just an idea i had.
Great idea and great video ! Keep going with your awesome projects, you're great !
The reason those boards look like Iron Man suit parts is because you went with a red board and gold plating.
Genious Ideas!
Very good for NASA
Loved all yr videos bro. Yr projects are awesome
Very cool designed
Wow, thanks to you I'll never see PCBs the same way! Btw what country are you from? I can't pinpoint the accent.
Thanks! I am from Malta 🇲🇹
@@CarlBugeja cool, I've only heard of Malta from the Bible 😂
Awesome idea!
Very original idea and lovely design, keep up the great work.
One advice: sometimes I'm having a hard time understanding some of the things you are saying, maybe try speaking a little slower, or louder or try enunciating better?
Still your best project!! Could ypu please. Please share the files??
Where can I buy 2 of these motors that you have designed?
This is beautiful!
Awesome! Nice work.
Very nicely done!
Thats amazing dude. I loved it
Is there any particular reason to go for a radial-flux motor over an axial-flux one? In both cases the power output would be limited by how well-coupled your flux is, and adding a layer of ferrite/iron to the axial-flux motor would likely be much easier than adding a ring of it to this jigsaw radial-flux motor, lest you make it fit within a standard toroid. I wonder if PCB fab-houses will ever add an option to add ferrite inside the PCBs themselves? A ferrite filament for 3D printing could also prove quite useful for these uses.
Considering that you’re already experimenting with multi-board PCB-motors, I’d suggest twin-stator (and twin-bearing) axial-flux motors.
Radial flux motor usually have better torque than the axial flux motors because of the limited height.. In this case I was just curious to see if I can make a radial flux pcb motor, design wise its not that straight forward.. I wasn't trying to make a more efficient motor in anyway but the double stator axial flux motor is also on my project list and maybe that should improve efficiency 😉
James, this video puts the advantages of axial flux into perspective th-cam.com/video/E5VS4s-R7vk/w-d-xo.html
🤩 It's Amazing ..... Loved it, Great Videos
Very cool project, well-cut video!
Very nice. Thank you!
Looks amazing!
2:33 are those words?
haha. Thats cruel. "really did the trick didnt it. "
It is Maltese, the most beautiful of all the English accents :)
I've stumbled across this project and love what you're doing. I was wondering if would be possible to make the coils perpendicular to the board by weaving parallel traces on a 2 layer board top to bottom with vias. The top would have parallel lines like this: //////// and the bottom would have parallel lines like this |||||||| and the endpoints of each line would connect with vias. It seems orienting the coils this way would allow you to build the motor by simply stacking the coil boards between 2 simple bearing carrier boards. You could use multiple coil boards in the stack with different offsets to increase the number of poles in the motor as well. Is there a reason this is not a viable design?
It is a very viable design and in fact I have seen some prototypes on the web with this configuration 🙂 Instead of stacking I would prefer to use blind and buried vias to just have one pcb but this process is a little expensive
Absolutely impressive! I am wondering if it's possible to build a small speaker from embedded coils in a flex PCB.

Much Respect
I think your resistance problem came from the beefy connections.
Any mobile signal booster is available,pls tel me I won't to buy.
Just amazing 😉 it looks so beautiful I would 💗 to make it
you should sell this as a kit
Nice job
So cool -- wow !
Awesome.
very cool project :D
Thanks 😀
How many N*m could a bigger design produce? Never thought a diy stepper motor would be possible. Great progress!
I dare you to make a Piezo electric air blower from pcbs
I'd like to make my own pcb coils, and would like a recommendation for software. One that works on linux, is free and hopefully the raspbery pi, Model 4.
Second if you have someone manufacture your pcb, do they charge for each through hole via?
Please use a desoldering fan when soldering. Flux is extremely bad for you
Very interesting, but difficult to assemble and seem inefficient.
Hi! I was wondering if you could allow the option for the community to make subtitles I would like to translate your video into spanish!
Can you tell where did you got those tiny bearings?
Ebay 😝
i have a feeling this is more complicated than it needs to be ...
Красивый парень!
It's great!
OH, and a question: would it be possible to make a linear actuator using PCB? I have a project which is not feasible unless I can get really cheap linear actuators. I would love to see your take on this!
Done 😉 th-cam.com/video/2uHRviaR2Cs/w-d-xo.html
Can we make life time electricity generated
Love your pcb axial motor for its simplicity.
Question: which is that commercial motor that you compare with?
The axial is much better and if he sandwiched another one on top he would have twice the windings and no more wobble (if he added some jigsaw bracing to the outside).
Thanks! Here's the motor I compared it with: hobbyking.com/en_us/adh30s-micro-brushless-outrunner-6100kv.html?___store=en_us
Hey man how should i contact you i have some doubts only you can clear that!!
love your videos everytime but for the love of got please subtitle your videos.
Wow. imagine a pcb brushless motor encorporated in the arm of a quadcopter?? No more conventional brushless motor.
That was my plan when I started looking into pcb motors but so far the results were not sufficient th-cam.com/video/x4EBuu4pyPw/w-d-xo.html
Чел просто берет, и платы фигарит 😂
ну дэ
Looks great. I think you may building micro quadrocopter on this motors :)
admit to ur enthusiasm man!
ouaouuuu
Couldn’t understand anything and subtitles won’t work.. dam wish I could understand :(
This is much smaller than usual motor that i see
Awesome bro..!?
Bugeja is an indian Surname. Do you have any relation to india?
Not that I know off but it's also very popular in Malta
What's the parts number of this one? 6:42 Where I can get it?
