Armature

[guruji]

Hi guys can I use a normal motor armature and add magnets on it for this motor? I have an old washing machine spinner armature and a water pump armature. Can I use these and simple glue magnets on them for Newman motor?
Thanks

Newman's machines are rather weighty - the inductance in their coils are very high, as a result.

The rotor of a Newman motor only has two poles. That spinner armature probably has more than two.

Thanks guys for your response but to clarify I was refering to those induction motors with soft iron laminated core.
Thanks

This depends, is it an induction motor or a wound rotor armature?

One can take a simple wound electric motor and replace magnets for coils and coils for magnets ( ie exchange ).

IF the solid state armature is used, replacing it with an unmagentized neodymium core would result in better performance - UNMAGNETIZED ...otherwise, there may be undesired heating or cracking.  This is only the case if it is some sort of induction motor, where the armature is solid... where there are constant changes in field alignment.

Sorry to stray off topic.  Newman's machine incorporates a coil magnet in his armature - the core is iron; it really is too bad the printer of his book lost the master plates in a fire.  I kind of wanted a copy. . .ebay suggest a price of like 1200.00 usd though so that's out of the question.

DO you have a link to the plans for this machine?
