Newman motor #2 by detrix42

[detrix42]

Just so you all know, I should have motor #3 done tomorrow. I have plans on making two videos.  The first will be a full explanation of my motor and my view on Newman's theory. This will be as long as it takes. The second one will be of the motor running, showing me taking measurements. So keep an eye out for my next videos.

Also, thanks for the kind/encouraging comments.

Hey awsome construction work best commutator i seen yet, but i think you really should of used a wooden frame instead of a metal one, newman says that no magnetic materials are aloude in the motor except the magnet stack on the shaft.

I used aluminium because it is not magnetic. I also had to use brass nuts and bolts since the glue was not strong enough.  There is no magnetic interference with the aluminium or the brass.  Thanks for your input though.

Also please note, that once I have finished building this motor, I will start a third thread for a discussion of it.  I should be done this morning, I only need two more things from the hardware store. So a new thread will be started soon.

If you run into commutator weight problems, I would recommend using stained glass foiling tape.  It is copper ribbon with an adhesive backing ( copper tape ) ..and may make things a bit easier for setting up brush contacts.

Thanks. I do use that copper tape. See my next thread on my third motor. Actually in this thread (reply #24) there are pictures showing the copper tape on the base board.  Right now it will turn, but there are other issues keeping it from turning.
