Magnet motor in Argentina

[Omnibus]

danny, can't you use that double-sided sticky tape from RadioShack to attach the magnets to the rotor so that you can readjust them if you make a mistake?

tao, these torques are really amazing. I hope this is confirmed in practice. I'd be glad, like danny says, to see it first just turning.

Tao,

Aluminium is very easy to work with. That is what I am using for my design. I use a wood band saw to cut 3/8" plate. Just have to cut slow. It is also easy to drill and tap. I think you should try to find a local machine shop in your area. They will have tons of scrap pieces that may be usefull. They might even give it to you. Small pieces are pretty useless to them.


Nastrand2000,

I am a little concerned about your statment about keeping it at least 1/2" from rotor mags. Why is this?

omnibus - sticky tape would cost at least two dollars! which puts it oh.... about one dollar and ninetyseven cents out of my reach (the sad thing is im not joking!)

seriously though i don't think sticky tape would hold its cool though tommorow ill unglue the magnets and get back to work thanks though

@tjanzer,

eddy currents created within the aluminum will significantly reduce to the rotational aspects of the motor....not to say that it will stop the motor, just that it can reduce a motors rpm expodentially.
