Copper Electric Electric motor Motor Windings

AI Thread Summary

Rewinding an electric motor to increase its output from 5mA to 10mA involves considerations of wire size and winding quantity. Using larger gauge wire can reduce resistance and potentially improve performance, but it may also require more space within the motor. Alternatively, maintaining the same wire size while increasing the number of turns can achieve the desired current output, depending on the motor type. The specific motor type and whether it operates on AC or DC power are crucial factors in determining the best approach. Ultimately, careful analysis of the motor's specifications is necessary for successful rewinding.

I want to use some motors i had laying around to do a project.
A flick of the shaft measures 5MA.
I want to rewind the motor so it produces 10ma.
do I use bigger wire, or the same size wire just more of? less of

or will I just have to

What kind of motor is it? Does it use AC or DC?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
