OK GANG,  check out:

Actually it will run @ .900 VDC @ 12 ma.  DC pulses should be would be 130 ma but with the coil as an AC device, current drops WAY down.

Enjoy, Their ORBO will run on 1.5 VDC,.....well I proved it will run on .900 VDC, with only one coil,thery are the real thing as far as a motor goes!!!

Ben

Great work Ben!!!

Your motor will run on less energy then it takes to light a single white LED!!!

damn where was this sweet design when cd walkmans were the in thing?

imagine this would be a very good use for that or hell even portable DVD/BluRay units...

Congrats Ben! How many rpms at 12mA 0.9V?

All,

Need a little help. I have repaired my solid state Orbo and is able to run the unit
at very little input power. My digital ampere meter shows 0,00 and -0,00 alternating.
I do not trust that meter. I hooked up a analog moving Iron ampere meter. It says
zero amps. I do not trust that to be true either.

So, how can I make a accurate measurement of the input current going to the circuit?

Alex.

Congrats Ben! How many rpms at 12mA 0.9V?

Paul, probably 150 rpm, didn't check.

Have found that 0.500 VDC is min rpm with crooked magnets, that it will run. About 100 RPM @ that voltage.
I have a hell of a good core/coil combination.

HEXFET Switch is reason it will run so low.  Transistor would not work here at that voltage.

Note picture below running @ .500 vdc.  Top trace when it is high, the coil is ON, as shown on the bottom trace is at the FET/coil junction.  Now will build a good motor as I know what works on the motor.  Folks, this is an AC device NOT DC.
