Multiple Rotor Motor: Possible or Not?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of a multiple rotor motor design that incorporates two dipole motors positioned at different angles, potentially functioning like a tripole motor with an additional pole. The concept involves having both rotors wrapped separately but powered by the same current and voltage, raising concerns about whether the similar poles would repel each other, causing mechanical failure. The intent behind this design is to generate significant torque at low current, rather than producing heat. Participants express a need for clearer visualizations to better understand the proposed mechanism. Overall, the viability of this innovative motor design remains uncertain due to the challenges posed by magnetic repulsion.

what i mean by this is a basic dipole motor, but with two of them side by side set at different angles. it's kind of hard to explain. but try to think of a tripole motor, but with an extra pole. then keep both of extra poles at different angles than the other two (so maybe 90º apart, or smaller, smaller would work better for my ACTUAL question, so think like 12º apart), then move the two extra poles over horizontally. so its like two rotors side by side, simply at different angles. both of these rotors are wrapped seperately, but with the same current/voltage running through them. would this be possible? or because of the repolusion between similar poles would the rotors simply push each other apart until they broke?

if you need more help visualizing, tell me, i can maybe draw something up and post it some how. or if this is in the wrong forum, please someone tell me!

until then, thanx!

It is kinda like a standard single rotor motor with a fundimental and a strong 5th harmonic, fighting to rotate the motor in reverse. Is the purpose to generate heat?, there are much simpler methods.
 
no the purpose isn't to genrate heat. its more to creat a large amount of torque at a low current.
 
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
