Hi jesus, i was planing on making some my self , my idea is to make then from a circle of falt pc copper board.

i posted a picture i hope you will get the idea , making a axial commutatro is harder then making a flat one.

Thank you @mk1 !

The problem with a flat commutator is to hold the brush holder in place.
But your idea is good.

hi jesus,
maybe this will help?

Thank you @wilbyinebriated !

That person's idea is very similar to mine. The difference is that he is making a commutator that is continuous.
I am trying to make two copper commutators that has a continuous part and a not continuous part.

But the idea is the same with the copper pipe.

@all

I have been having problems to connect to the site. Each time I try to connect in the morning, I receive a message that the server cannot be found and the machine freezes.

I have been trying to post a graphic that shows different micro switches that can be used instead of a complicated commutator that can stop the rotor.

There is an even more simple micro switch on those disposable camera boards...well, at least on the Kodak style I have seen.  It is just 2 very thin strips of copper held in a small plastic base.  It takes almost no pressure to make a connection using these.

Thank you @pirate

I have seen those little swtches and I have 2 of them.
The problem needing solving is that the micro switch needs to have a normally close connection and a normally open connection in order to do the battery switcher.
Also it needs to be 2 of them. One for switching the batteries positive and the other to switch the rectified dc voltage to the batteries.

There is one micro switch that is double post and double through, but its price is too high for me and that is without the shipping and handling amount.

I will see what I can do.
