  • I explain how the DC motor works in a simply and patient way. I use several experiments that you can copy at home. Then I show a Treadmill DC motor cut open and working so we can see the moving parts!

However I just found you on YT and learned more in one video than I have in my previous years. I think you have a great and simplistic way of teaching and explaining making it so much easier to take in. You should go into lecturing as your way of explaining is so on others level where many seam to look down their nose at us laymen who have no idea. Thank you so much.

    I have been teaching my 6 year old grandson how electricity works and how magnets can dislodge the electrons from the atoms and conduct electricity. He was fascinated with magnets at a very early age and this was my opening to teaching him to this point. He is now so far ahead of me in his learning and questioning process that I am always challenged to learn more to be able to explain things to him. Your videos are wonderful and have been a great help. This week we will build a simple dc motor and carry on from there. I’ve always wanted an excuse to make one and now I have it. Your videos are a treasure trove of learning and I’m learning so much from you as well. Many thanks 🙏🏽

      Mobility Joy I usually just use whatever I have around my house. Any old toys with batteries, I take them apart. Of course I take out all the batteries to not electrocute myself. I just use what I learned from a 5th grade science class, and experimented with circuits. Of course I watch videos too to avoid hurting myself. The way I learn is kind of dangerous, but so far I haven’t hurt myself. I would recommend buying a kit though if your kids have no experience with building robots. It’s a safe method of learning if your dealing with children.

      My friends mom is a college professor that teaches "basics of electrical engineering" to future engineers, masters and phds. I at the time, a student of engineering management replaced her a wall power outlet because she didn't know how, she wanted to call an electrician and i've told her "that's easy, only 3 wires, let me do it", i've done it before and i know how to do it properly (my dad showed me). She is one of the top professors in that university, who also lived and worked in Boston on some projects.

    Jeremy, I'm an EE senior and I've been confused about how that works for years. In class we immediately go to Maxwell's equations or some equation where we have to calculate the turns, current, or something along those lines but I've never got to see how a real, usable motor works. At the end when you had the magnet under the rotor and you switched polarity, I started talking to you through the computer screen saying, "take away the magnet, take away the magnet". I needed to see for myself that the current could still be present but there had to be a magnet for it to rotate.

  • @flashpointwhite
    @flashpointwhite 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hi Jeremy! Great video, extremely helpful. Inspired by you, I've started picking up things with motors when I see them along the side of the road, taking them apart, and playing around with them. One of the common problems I have is the brushes producing sparks along the commutator. I'm guessing it's because they're not making a firm enough contact and it's causing the electricity to jump the gap. Is there an easy fix for this? Perhaps that's why people are getting rid of these things in the first place... They smell like electricity when ran!
    I'll be watching with interest, thank you for all the great videos!

    • @ferky123

    • @JeremyFieldingSr
      @JeremyFieldingSr  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you can find replacement brushes, that would be the first thing... It sounds like they are too short and are starting to arc.

    • @aaronmezger
      @aaronmezger 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brush motors always make at least a faint arc when running properly. It's from the electricity transfer. When you have an abnormally large arc, it's from either the brushes being too short and causing a larger air gap to need to be traversed, a short in the motor (typically the armature/ rotor but the stator field is possible as well), or an extreme amp draw due to heat generated from overloading (bearing seizure or overtasking are common culprits) or low voltage. Ohm's Law explains the relationship between amperage, voltage, resistance, and heat and how if you change one value it affects the others.

    • @ferky123
      @ferky123 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If you run a motor with an outside power source like a turbine or a gasoline engine then it's a generator. If you use electricity to rotate the generator to do work then it's a motor.

You mentioned in video 3 or 4 that you have a series of videos so I went to video 1. I must say well done. Most mechanics and electricians are hands on and prefer being shown versus reading in a book. Your tests using bench made motors and cut open housings really drive home visually what you are explaining. No music, no bs, just well articulated accurate information.
