SUMMARY
The discussion centers on constructing a simple DC motor for an assignment. The participant is struggling with the design and has not yet learned about essential components like a commutator. Recommendations include conducting online research for simple DC motor projects to gain a better understanding of the necessary components and design principles. The current sketch provided by the participant is deemed ineffective for building a functional motor.
PREREQUISITES
- Basic understanding of electrical circuits
- Familiarity with DC motors
- Knowledge of motor components, including commutators
- Experience with basic mechanical assembly
NEXT STEPS
- Research simple DC motor projects online
- Learn about the function and design of commutators
- Explore methods for suspending a rotor effectively
- Investigate materials suitable for building a motor
USEFUL FOR
Students, hobbyists, and educators involved in basic electronics and mechanical engineering projects, particularly those focused on building simple motors.
this what i have right now the black represents a wire. i don't think this looks right at all. i also need help finding something i can put under the battery to allow it to rotate.
