Hello Tom,
Thank you for your response.
I have already built multiple simple electric motors, like the one you have posted the link to. I was hoping for a guide for a more complex one. However, many people in this thread told me that it is a bit out of reach at the moment, so I am going to try...
Hello,
Since building an electromagnetic motor might be a little out of reach at the moment, I am going to try to build an electromagnet (that’s more powerful than the standard iron nail + couple copper coils).
Thank you for the response! A compound motor sounds interesting and doable. Would it be possible for you to send the names of resources for beginners I could use (such as a book or website)? Thank you and have a great day!
I will look into steam engines/stirling engines as well. I wanted to build a motor for two reasons. First, I wanted to learn more about motors and get some practical, hands-on experience. Second, I wanted to be able to implement a motor that I built into some of my other projects. Buying a motor...
Hello sophiecentaur, thank you for your reponse! I already tried building a motor similar to the one you have linked, and it worked for me! What steps would one have to take to make the motor in the video more complex/powerful?
Hello, thank you for the response! https://www.instructables.com/Make-Your-Own-Miniature-Electric-Hub-Motor/ This is the article I was going to use (Step 8 details the materials/tools needed). Do you have any resources/tips on building a motor this way? (I'm a beginner, and I've never built a...
Hello everyone,
I wanted to build an electric motor, and I have done quite a bit of research on it. However, all the links that I get are for “simple motors”, which are essentially just a D battery, a kitchen magnet, and coil of copper wire. I have tried these already, but I wanted to build a...
