Hi Guys
I thought I should show my first motor. I was lucky to find an old Hobart weigh scale that had a shaft to which I could attach a CD and a timing wheel. I glued three magnets to each and used a Hall sensor and transistor to switch power on and off.  I used a lego power pack (3 Ccells 4.5 volts) for power.

Oh Yes the Picture

thats ghetto Tropes I like. How does it perform on such a small voltage?

You can check out some of my early work including videos (2003- 2005)here: http://www.theowlnest.com/kickbypage.html
If you follow the links you'll see a progression to the Sotropa Motor.I am now building a four piston motor but I also am awaiting cancer surgery this month so I will be out of commission for a while. I know the mechanics of motors and engines but I lack the electronic skills.

Peter,
Looks good. I was wondering the what you guess the rpm is and what amount of current is it taking at 4.5 volt?
keep up the good work.
