Simple to make Hilden-Brand style motor

[Thaelin]

   Take every chance to be with family when you can. When you
loose all, the world becomes rather empty. Still catch my self now
and then with the phone in hand and realize that no one will be
on the other end anymore.

   Give 'em double hugs just in case.

thay,

I was thinking my last post was a bit personal, and even OT, so was just coming in to delete most of it!

But your post so poignant I shall leave it stand.

This little preview is just for you... managed an hour or so yesterday...
and have it running on just the main coil...not very fast as my opto window is too narrow... on 9v it just ticks over at 20 rpm, sounds like a little steam engine, lol, tick tick tick... R

Looking good Ron,
As always a nice and efficient build.
Good setup to compare run behavior with and without magnets!
Keep us updated

Thanks Steven,

A lot of people beside yourself are interested in this also, so here without any any spike recovery, or forward coils being energized, is a plain vanilla single coil shoot out. Keep in mind that the rotor is fairly heavy for just the single coil.

So 63 RPM coil only, 75 RPM coil and magnet.

This test just to show the effects of adding the magnet (1 inch dia, 3/4 L)

Rave,

Thanks for the compliment! Not quite as classy as Jack's, but open frame so everyone can see the construction.
