AI Thread Summary
Understanding the impact of wire shape on RPM in a DC motor is crucial, as different shapes like squares and circles can influence performance. The relationship between magnetic flux, induced EMF, back EMF, and commutators is essential for effective motor design. To maximize RPM, one must consider various factors, including wire shape and configuration. A foundational knowledge of electrical machines is necessary for successful construction and optimization. Consulting a textbook on electrical machines is recommended for comprehensive understanding.

The design I am building is like the simple DC motor design on http://www.coolmagnetman.com/magdcmot.htm
I need some help in understanding how the shape of the loop of current carrying wire (like the difference between a square and circle shape) figures into determining the rpm on a simple dc electric motor
and also how flux and induced emf with relationship to back emf, and commutators figure into the construction of dc electric motors
and also how to maximize rpm of the spinning wire by changing such factors as shape of the wire
Thanks

What you are saying is that you need a full discussion of electrical machines. I suggest that you get an electrical machines textbook, such as Fitzgerald and Kingsley, and read a few chapters. Your questions indicate that you are starting from zero, and you really need to get quite a few basics before you set out to build a machine. Good luck!
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
