New comer needs any and all help

yes, the more the better...

here's a pic of the platters taken off the spindle and its housing. the spindle and its housing are mounted to a spacer simply to match the magnets to the coil core. it's a very crude setup that i did just to demonstrate to a friend how to make one quick and dirty without buying parts.

O ok see the center of your hard drive disc come out mine don't. Your disc looks like a CD mine has a solid piece in the center where it surrounds the coils of the hard drive. And a shaft in the center that goes in the middle of those coils to sit in the bearing

Don't forget that you need ferrite (ceramic) magnets rather than the
neodymium ones in hard drives. (Ring ceramics can be found in the
magnetron of a microwave oven).

Also, you don't need massively powerful ones. They are only a trigger.
This site is especially focused on this work ince, rather regrettably, the

Well i only have neos. I have some pretty weak ones though.
Although I just remembered I have to ring magnets from a microwave. But I only have those two. I have to have more than 2 right?
Why can't I use neos?  Weak ones any way.
And I finished the circuit last night on a rather crudly built rotor. I could get it to spin but it would always come to a stop.

The trigger coil and the drive coil need to be properly "phased". Try reversing the leads of just one of the coils. (This is a general rule when working with two coils that are supposed to work together: Phasing can be important so always try both ways.)

With good construction you can get the motor to run on two magnets or even just one, but you have to have good balance for that.

Use your weak neos, and a rotor with just four magnets to start, just to get your circuit working, triggering and pulsing properly.

The local hobby shop is your friend. You can get shafts, bearings and things like plastic RC truck wheels there for not much money. Also weak ceramic magnets. I used a plastic truck wheel for a rotor in a pulse motor, put the magnets inside the  rim, and RC helicopter shaft ball bearings. Easy to do without much tooling (although a drill press is very handy).
