Electric motor Definition and 220 Threads

I just bought a new 300 watt, 24 volt DC electric motor which I plan to use in a couple projects I am working on. Here is a picture of it, http://www.electricscooterparts.com/ebaypics/COKEKMa.jpg The problem comes now that I want to turn the motor on and use it (something I guess I should...

there is a contest to build an electric motor for which we can get some bonus points on the final in my E&M class. they give us a very limited kit and we can only use what comes in the kit which is a couple pieces of thick poster board, 6 feet of insulated wire, a couple paper clips, a couple...

Hi there. Im afraid i know very little about electrical engineering:confused: , hence why I am here, but any help / direction / suggested reading would be much appreciated! Like i say, sorry if this is a completely stupid question:blushing: , but if you don't ask you don't get right? and who...

A 2.0 hp electric motor on a water well pumps water from 10 m below the surface. The density of water is 1.0 kg per liter. How many liters of water does the motor pump in 1 hr? im not sure what equation to use on this problem, so if anyone could let me know that would be good thanks!

Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board of length 2.50 m. One person lifts at one end with a force of 400 N, and the other lifts the opposite end with a force of 560 N. a) What is the weight of the motor? b) Where along the board is its center of gravity...

hey, i have to create an electric motor using a DC source and using coils wrapped using the left hand rule (not bar magnets). Anyone know an easy way to go about this? i guess it has to be something like this. http://fly.hiwaay.net/~palmer/motor1.gif it must be usable with a battery and...

I admit it, I am a complete and utter noob when it comes to electrical components. I need help. I am trying to run an electrical motor on a regular 12 volt car battery. Can this even work? If so, how much money and work needs to be done? This is for a little..."project". If anyone can...

hey there if anyone can help i'd be very grateful. i have a science project :cry: and i have to construct a working electric motor. i have to make it spin as fast as possible so i did some research and found out about something called a split ring commutator. i still don't understand what it...

In class we made a beakman's electric motor using wire, a battery, and a magnet. I don't understand how the motor works though. Can someone explain it to me? I think it has something to do with the magnetic poles, but I am not sure. This site: fly.hiwaay.net/~palmer/motor.html has a diagram...

Hello, Can anyone tell me what is the simpliest and cheapest method to control of velocity of an electric motor? or what kind of motor to use to reach such a control?

Please forgive what I'm sure is a dumb question, but I'm stumped. Is there a way to determine the amount of horsepower (from an electric motor for instance) that is req'd to pressurize a tank of a known volume to a specific pressure? In other words if an electric motor is used to compress...

hi, i need just a formula to go ahead with this. I am given two masses, m1 of man, and m2 of his bike. he is going up a hill with slope (sqroot3/3) and velocity (v). Now I need to find the power an electric motor would need to have for the man to b able to ride his bike up without pedalling...

The armature of an electric motor, (the inside coils) are made from copper and have extremely low resistance. When you connect the motor to a voltage supply and supply some current to the motor, even though the resistance is low, the current may be as little as 2 or 3 Amps. Where does the...

im working on my dryer motor. its just an electric motor. i turn it on and it seems like the whole motor box is trying to turn instead of just the gear like its stuck or something. does anyone have clue. thanks.

I've been trying to build an electric motor for my 11th grade physics class and I'm having some problem. I'm trying to stay away from using a reed switch because my teacher hinted at a better grade for motors using a split-ring commutator (and because I couldn't find a reed switch anywhere)...

I think this is a hoax. http://www.japan.com/technology/index.php they power out > power in.

Hello. Please, take a read to www.geocities.com/k_pullo/PM3.htm It's an study based on the Butch Lafonte's equilibrium motor. Please, forget the claims, and take a look under classical physical principles. Basically, on normal motors we use the electric energy to impulse the...

This guy is effectively asking for donations on EBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2193742726&category=14431 This is the patent...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2193742726&category=14431 I was going to post this in engineering, but I think this is more suitable. Can someone take a look at this page real quick? It sounds pretty cool, like something from star trek, so I'm pretty sure it needs to be...

http://fly.hiwaay.net/~palmer/motor.html In step 2, it says Why we should remove the insulation from one side of the wire while to sand off the insulation from the top half of the other end of the wire? What if we remove all the insulation from both ends of the wire? And what happen if...
