- Hi guys! There is a much cheaper alternative than buying a regular carbon brush in the market and it is by making your own carbon brush! I bought this Graphite Block online for only 300 pesos and I can assure you, you can make a lot of different size brushes with it.
Just search for "Graphite Block" or "Graphite Ingot" on the web, the price will depend on the quality and shop you choose.
Now I dont have to worry about what size or number to say to the hardware store because I will be making my own brushes now 😂 - Jak na to + styl
Thanks man. Great job explaining.
Glad you liked it!
Great video! Very helpful
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing useful information to utilise the available carbon block for our end use.👍 From Jawaharlal Bharat INDIA
You're very welcome Sir, I'm glad it helped ☺️
Great video. Where did you order the block? The link would be very helpful, thanks!
Hi there. Great work. Just one question. Will the metal in contact with graphite became rusty since graphite is quite a noble metal? Thank you.
where did you brought the carbon brick ?? thanks for the video ..
A little bit worry about connection between brush and copper cable.
Yeah because there is no copper cable connected to the carbon brush, but dont worry sir especially if the carbon brush holder is conductive 😇
It will work just fine ☺️
Good job beb😘❤❤❤
Thanks sa support beb 😘
Had no idea graphite blocks existed.
You can find a lot on online shopping websites
I can't tell, are those sparks coming from making contact with the commutator and the brushes?
I just got into the whole starter building etc.
Not sure if that's norm
Good day Sir it just sparks from the contact because the tip of the carbon is still pointy
Update: okay so I bought some from Amazon actually.
Man, these blocks are not easy to cut.
And copper graphite is way more tough.
I'm probably going to need a Dremel or something.
Done hand cutting lol.
Wait there's a copper graphite too 😱 i wanna buy one hahaha
Its easy to cut sir if you got a cutting tool, anyway is the copper graphite performance good sir? I really wanna know
hey man, i appreciate you making this video. inspires me. i actually just took apart a car starter and fixed it up and its working again. only issue is i have a hard time finding the carbon brushes. and if i found some it was way to expensive. what kind of graphite is it ?
Thanks Sir for the support, this is just a regular graphite block its 99% and you can easily buy this online so the source is easy
Thanks,I thought the wire had to stay connected to the graphite.
Good day sir, no need sir as long as it has good conductivity in the carbon brush holder its good to go 😇
How to order like this carbon brush
Could it be better in cutting graphite to use a sort or soap to catch the powder ?
After that you can clean your hands and work bench just rinsing with water ...
Of course handling graphite block with bare hands ( with soap ) would be a bit hard ...
Yes that is a great idea sir! Its kinda messy what I did there but I've done it because I will use it later for drawing (shading) 😇
You can use the dust to make electrically conductive glue when mixed.@@JakeMarvinVillegas
another interesting video sir jake...very good...how much did you pay for the graphite block...tnx a lot...keep safe always ..
Thank you sir for the support 😇 Keep safe also
I bought it for 300 pesos Sir
shout our bro.
Thanks boss 😇
i cant find the exact same size carbon brush for my car starter motor, is it ok if i buy a bigger carbon brush and sand it?
Good day sir, yes sir it is perfectly ok to sand it down so that it will fit 😇
you can, but donor brush must be for starter as well. most probably high % of copper. High % copper motor brush is not the same as brush for starter!
Mantap berbagi ilmu 👍
Thanks sir
Wer do u buy the cb ser
I bought it online sir via shoppee
Is the graphite more conductive or something?
They are the same sir, so there is no issue in the conductivity
@@JakeMarvinVillegas Okay, hey I appreciate the reply. I'm trying to learn about energy generation and storage and graphite is pretty cool stuff. If the conductivity is the same, why replace it? Was the original worn down from use?
You're welcome Sir. Wow thats an amazing interest you have Sir 😲
I'm trying to find a cheaper source of carbon brush and this solid block of graphite is much cheaper (cost me 300 pesos around 3 dollars) compared to a ready made carbon brush. (Around 80 to 200 pesos per pair) which is a lot, that's why I made this video.
Is the amount of commutator fire/burning/sparking at 1:27 normal for this motor or caused by the DIY carbon brushes?
Good day sir, its normal sir because i haven't cleaned the commutator well. If its very smooth, the sparks will be even more less
@@JakeMarvinVillegas thanks for the quick reply.
But commutator fire is not really a concerny, right? Or is it actually harmful for the motor?
Ur welcome sir, it is harmful if the sparks were big. It can burn the commutator
it will be sparking most before the wear creates a concave surface on the brush. cleaning/resurfacing the commutator helps to reduce them
😲
How to order like this carbon vrush
Good day sir, try online shop sir. Search for carbon blocks or graphite blocks.
Sir this carbon genwan where is avelble
Try shopee sir or lazada
❤❤ belinya dimana itu master❤❤
You're welcome sir ☺️
kalau mu beli d mana/lewat ap
Good day sir try shopee or lazada online
No it is not true that ''any regular graphite'' with good conductivity will work. That is why you have massive sparking! Eventually it will burn the commutator and you can only throw it away. Machine also does not have the same power as it should have. The most important thing when choosing the right graphite material for power tools is resistivity and speed coefficient!
The sparking is due to the square brush which has not worn in yet
Sir @mightyconker is right sir. It has yet to make full contact
What u made is just a cut piece of carbon .....this is not the way to make a carbon brush ....dear talk or take advice of expert how to make a carbon brush ....
Carbon brush involves pigtail to be fixed on it for safety of instruments or your cut piece of carbon will eventually fall on commutator and damage it
Your way will work for emergency basis not a permanent solution
Thanks for the feedback sir 😇 it is not an issue if you do regular checkup on the brushes
Donde se consigue la placa de carbon que cortaste
Hindi po ba yan madaling mapudpod?
Hindi po sir, ok lang po cya normal quality
99 %carbon not good for ac appliemves
Thanks for your insights sir; does graphite not good also?
