* flexing with flexible PCB *
flexing with rigid pcb
nice flex dude
so cool!
1) consider a version with a central hole, it may have further applications like using many parallelly with a long rod crossing them?
2) consider moving the plug to one corner, one may like to create grids, and with current configuration it seems impossible? maybe prepare to have plugs in different places so one can use the preferred location?
3) consider selling a whole grid one can break into small squares, with a central hub for plugs and local plugs to be applied when you split it?
4) square grid, triangular grid, hexagonal grid?
5)local led to display action (or just the setup for those willing to apply/use it)
That is what I just posted as well. It will increase the field strength if you add an iron core. It would also let you make solenoids, motors, tactile switches and more by adding springs, plugs, or ferrite/iron cores. Also mirror arrays or galvos to project light or steering laser beams.
i like the breakable grid idea :)
This is a whole product stack right here :) Hire this man and make all of these.
@@excitedbox5705 true about the iron core, but I was just suggesting a "stick" to connect parallel actuators together, so it could be made of any material
@@CarlBugeja There are a few applications I'm working on where something like this might be fun to include, generating fields up to about 10-20 mT. It would definitely be important to have a central bore of about 8-12mm though.
This, this right here is exactly what I love about the internet. I'm not interested in Twitter or Facebook And all of their mumbo jumbo and politicing, none of that crap. I love seeing how people like you come up with ideas like that and make it available for doofuses like me... Thanks
I really like the flip dot idea !
Normally in flip dots display there are alot of wiring and electromagnets.
But with flexar you make it more efficient.
I hope you try this idea and keep making amazing videos 👍👍
You should add a via/mount hole to the center, so you can add an iron core. Electromagnets are much stronger when you have an iron core to direct the field.
This is one of the most underrated channel I have found in my youtube watching history, you are going to grow man so much!!
This is awesome! you are a inspiration to many!!
Thank you so much 😊
This printed coil concept you have been working on has come a long way. Very cool results so far, I commend your dedication to this project.
Can vouch on the fact that these are awesome :D Congrats on the launch, Carl! Hope we get to see some awesome projects pop up when people get these in their hands :)
This has so much potential in so many areas. You should be creating kits and selling them worldwide, get a distributor in all major countries.
You are onto a real potential winner here, congratulations to your creative mind!
this thing made me think about planar speakers, piece of films or plastics with conducting wires running through that vibrates thus making sound
It has been an interesting journey following along to this point.
Very cool! Love all the progress you have been making. The actuator and the buzzer are interesting applications. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!
Awesome, Brilliant, and an axial flux printed pcb motor. Thank you for sharing.
I've been obsessed with flip dots for a while... I don't know why .. but I am. Keep up the awesome work!
You are doing great! in this field
Good job bro💜
Your work just fascinates me!
you have done a nice research in it . well done
I was glad to hear you say that you want to bring the price down because these seem really interesting and cool, but that (current) price tag... could get out of hand quickly if anyone wants more than a few of them for a project.
it would be very interesting to see this used to make a "morphining" trail edge wing for a really kickass RC aircraft
Using it as a motor will have many uses in the future. Great work! 👍
It works great.. i highly recommend getting this.
Making a micro Tesla coil with a pancake design similar to that would be pretty cool!
Man, you are so good. I feel on project you can do with your projects global...
I love the progress you have made on this invention and in such a short period of time, as well! Great job!
What a fantastic project!
Damn. I've seen your past videos but hadn't yet subscribed. This video was in my recommended, so I tapped on the video because it sounded pretty damn cool. It indeed was pretty damn cool. I really just wish it was longer!
Regardless, I'm now subscribed!
Amazing work man, im so happy for you. I have been following this project since its beginnings
That’s really cool ! You’re on your way to become a game changer !
Perhaps I missed it in one of your videos, but have you tried printing the flexible PCBs with straight lines but at an angle, then curling the pcb into a tube? You'd essentially be making a 3 dimensional coil where the first line on the PCB solders to the second line, etc.
I guess the soldering points would make it difficult to pack a lot of turns into a cylinder.
Okay, The little buzzer one is pretty cool to play music through. How loud is it though?
I think you got something there! :) nice product! Can't wait for adafruit to stock it!
Would be neat to try to make complimentary patterns of coils that can do a specific task! I was thinking of the new Polymagnets with all the different functions they are able to program them to perform! As, long as there is no patent infringement here, that is!
Wanted to buy some but too exp right now :( Please bring the price down!
Quick idea of what my use will be:
Home tracker to see if X person is home
connected and sits on key stand
If senses keys -> change database to X is home
Update homeassistant that X is home
I do like the idea of the magnet actuator. Could possibly make a mini robo that jumps.
It'd be neat to see a stronger version of this.
Very clever idea.
probably one of the most expensive coils ive seen in a while
I'd love to see how these perform as transformers, especially for audio. It does make me wonder about whether they can be used with vacuum tubes, specifically when running in series... Might work for small headphone power amplifiers
P.S. also thank you for making them open source, what a chad
Finally! Congratulations Carl! Great that u stuck with that name! I am really thinking how these could be used in Robotics. Would love to see a video on that!
You can try to make a fluid pump (water,oil,sir,etc) by adding some kind of membrane sticked to your PCB moving parts and a recipient with inlet and outlet valves. Very good job man.
Nice stuff!
oooh! you could use it to make tweeters for speakers!!!!
I’d love to see you use these coils to make a metal detector! It would be cool to have an LED light up in the presence of hidden metal, at a small scale!
It amazing! Thanks for share it
It could be use as magnetorquer, an actuator for LEO satellites which interacs with the earth magnetic field to produce a torque and hence rotate the satellite
Can the small button-like magnet actuator thing detect movement of the magnet with some additional electronics? Like a button that can be reset by the controller
Pass a cable through the center and use it as a current transformer? That might have interesting applications, though I don't know how sensitive it would be, there are CTs on the market with less than 200 turns that people apparently make good use of!
thats so cool
great thumbnail too
i wonder how much useful inductive heating you could get out of this. would be a nice project for you
Woa awesome! Pretty sure I can find a use case for the flat solenoid setup :3
This guy is a genius
Very cool! Your work is great man.
1:34 Nintendo lawyers are onto you bro
This is awesome!
Magnific project! Would the magnetic actuator in 0:50 have enough power to, lets say, push a washing machine button? if it does, I see great potential in the IoT world!
Great video!
I was thinking: what if you tried to increase the torque of the motor by stacking more pcbs and by placing an actual ferromagnetic core in the center of the coils? (It can be as simple as an iron bolt in the middle of the coil) This should increase torque and efficiency of the motor drastically but still keep the motor small and easily manufacturable
I guess where should I use this actuator
When I worked as a Telecom engineer we use to have in board transformers with 24 layer boards. Aparently they where cheaper thsn coils
Incredible work!
This is brilliant. If I may suggest, I would go the extra mile to make it cheaper, as you suggested. If its very cheap, it would probably cascade into a lot of sale. Thanks anyway, great work.
I love it dude.
Very cool.
what is the highest switching frequency for the actuator?
Fantastic!
What about a linear actuator made with a pcb coil design? Something that could be used like a muscle on a robot?
ouch. I want to pick one up to make a speaker but yeah its pricy for me right now. I do look fwd to when you place a bigger order.
Great Job!!
You said about driving a Rotor with these but I'd be interested to know how these perform as the coils in a generator? - possibly a dual stator single rotor Axial Flux design could work..
What are the advantages over a conventional electromagnet? It seems that you could make one ale least just as compact for considerably less money
how am I still not subscribed??
Flip-dot for sure!!! Something else interesting that came to mind with that popup actuator - couldn't you detect pressing on it when it's popped up? Might be an interesting button application :)
Cool; Can you make an Linear Magnetic Actuator?
I measured a bifilar coil once, it seemed to have very high inductance the lower the frequency, maybe you could make one for testing on a PCB?
Can you build a super long range wireless power diy power coil? Like 200mw over 10 feet?
How about using them for levitation?
Or maybe some sort of mag-lev vehicle.
Excellent job, can you do magnetic coin acceptor, the first time I ask you
i love seeing that thing flop around lmao
Would be awesome if you could make a reactive button out of it
*2:30** "Stiffar"* pcb? ;P
Have you tried using it for signal isolation?
I have a idea for the actuator on 0:44. i love vr gaming and many try to build haptic gloves or other haptic stuff for vr. many use air pressure or vibraison motors. but a mini actuator would make mutch more sense. imagine a haptig gloves with many actuators so u can feef the surface of a objeckt. or a vr jacket witch uses these smole actuators instat of vibraison motors. wher do i need to throw my money to get this?
It's a great solution but desperately lacking a problem.
in order to achieve transformer function (2:14) what type of power source did you use? Did you use an oscillator circuit to make a sine wave?
What temperatures do you expect it to be able to withstand?
thnk you ☺️☺️. May Allah bless you
Is possible to make a high voltaje transformer with you fletar?
Cool!Great!!!
Can you use it to sense copper vs zinc core pennies?
Use these to make an EZ spin motor.
I saw this and bought 3.
Build a mini mag rail
Sooo cool!! Keep it up
Now make it on a 1200 layer PCB! 🤣
Could you make a buzzer without a permanent magnet using a thin flexcoil?
Also, it seems to me like the only advantage of your 12-layer version would be in manufacturing as part of a larger board. As a standalone component I don't see any advantage over a wound wire coil. Did I miss something? (BTW I really appreciate you exploring this whole flex PCB coil space.)
Do you have a Gauss meter? How much flux do your electro magnets have?
great work
thanks! :)
this is great man ! :)
The motor you made is known as axial flux motor.
Make an origami motor. Everything on one sheet of PCB and you break and fold the parts to make a motor
Hi and good day
Great product!, if possible move a magnetic over a line?. Like move a little car (with magnet) across over line with multiples flexart... if possible?
BEST REGARDS
Your PSB is very important
does it make any sense to stack a bunch of the flex pcb versions? The 'vias' could be handled with some clever geometery, then it's a diy stackable version for as many turns as you want :D
