A few years ago I was given an little Only fools and horses rc Reliant three wheeled van as a present,made in china of course.I took mine to work and as it turned out the young lad who works for me got one too.Soon we were having races at lunch time around the workshop.It got quite competitive,we had rules that it must remain as the van and you cant just bolt the body to a better base,cue a host of modifications to gain an edge,little carboard spoilers,neoprene rings on the back tyres for better top speed etc. I eventually secretly opted for fit a 4 way AA battery cartridge on top of the original battery box to supplement the four it already ran on,giving the option of 4,6 or 8. I initially tried 9 volts/6 AA's,which made it markedly quicker,then after running for ages without issue and being curious tried 8 batteries. I expected it to not work,or fail quickly given the little board in the van was now also getting 12 instead of 6 volts, but 7 or 8 years later,it's battered but still works and is still stupidly fast for what it is,I've told my 'opponent' it's all down to reducing friction,he's tried everything and then some😂 I dont know wether to be impressed that the cheap components can handle double their initial design or that they are so bad that it doesn't matter,I only hope the same factory doesn't make medical or aeronautical stuff😂.
pretty fun video, this is like watching curling. Im not sure about what the rules are, the content is good to look at and the game in my head is to find out what the " rules " are. I dont know too much about DC motors and seeing the different outcomes makes me understand just enough to be exited too watch the next one, hoping to find the key to understanding what makes them burn out
Hmmm, now listen. Companies try to be careful when advertising motors, but really, it's fine to go a FEW volts over their specified voltage. It's fine to have a 12V motor be ran by 15 or even 18V, just be careful.
We did that in the 80's with toy race car track and build a huge straight for drag racing! And the rubber burnt! Used 12v as they were I think 3v original!
It is confirmed that smoke and fire make motors run. Most seem to fail around 30v the same voltage that they tend to blow up in toys. Now can you do the same thing but with an assortment of sound chips out of various toys as they should all blow around 7v
This reminds me of something terribly stupid that I did when I was a kid: My father had a variable voltage PSU that went up to 24V, and multiple 1.5V-3V and 12V motors from car radiocasettes. I got a liking to blowing up motors as seen on the video, but the PSU didn't go high enough to blow the 12V motors so I had a "genius" idea: To plug the 12V motor into the 220V mains of the house. You can imagine how it went... The motor inmmediatly exploded with a big bang and I went pale. Luckily the metal casing saved my hands, and the short circuit protection of the house triggered and saved me from certain electrocution. I learned a big lesson that day and didn't tell my father, who by the way is an electrician and would probably call me every insult he knew.
Me and my friend are making this RC 787. It's a pretty big plane, and the 3D printed fuselage is a bit heavy. Maybe overclocking the EDFs might help...
When I was a little boy I would play with these little motors all the time. You could buy a few different sizes at the local surplus store for next to nothing. One time I got the bright idea to cut a wall plug off of something and wire one of these little motors directly into the wall. It's been a good 20 years and I still remember the moment I plugged it into the wall lmao. Not a great idea.
I know in the 150 size motor slot car world that there is the Tamiya Plasma dash rated at 25000 rpm and the Doyusha 150 rated at 50000 rpm. I’d love to see you test those. I’m trying to get motors at 12 volts to consistently go at 80000 rpm without becoming too unreliable and would like to see how far these motors can be pushed.
Some of these little motors have such a wide sound range while revving up, you could make real music with them, if you pull specific notes out, and arrange them, with an audio editing program. Also, it's kind of funny how the bushes resemble an arc welder when they've worn down!😂
It appears that the main failure mode of brushed dc motors is the brush assembly overheating and melting the brush contacts in other into a short? Or is it electricity arc across the brush contact pads from the high rpm + over-voltage potential basically bridging the contacts into a shorted state?
I disassembled the motors, and the smaller ones often fail by the copper brushes deforming. On the larger ones with carbon brushes the commutator is often overheated and releases from the rotor body, and burnt windings.
@@Cskirt That makes sense. The commutator/brush contacts do seem that they’d be the point of highest resistance, just by nature of being a moving contact point. Also there is undoubtedly contact-switching noise generated by the winding inductance coupled with the magnetic field as the poles are rotated by the commutator. Is that what the ceramic cap across the contacts is for? probably to reduce emi by giving a path to short the switching noise to ground. I wonder if the amount or length of time a motor can withstand over voltage would differ between two identical motors one with the cap and the other without? My guess is it wouldn’t make much difference because of the substantial levels of over voltage that the components are being subjected to. I enjoyed watching these motors quickly retire from service, anyhow!
That 3.7V electric screwdriver motor wins by a long shot in RPMs!!! That thing reached 85,022 RPM before literally EXPLODING!!!

The reflector flew off at 85.022 RPM and it got a bit faster afterwards, so it could have reached over 90.000 RPM.

It's an old 2KVA variac with a rectifier and a large capacitor at the DC output
