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!
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
