- This is a motor that has been removed from an old VHS VCR and modified for use in an RC electric model airplane. The airplane will be a 48" wingspan Lazy Bee constructed from Dollar Tree foam board.

I believe most vcr drum motors were 3 phase ac. In order to get enough speed and power to run a buffer wheel, you would have to completely rebuid it. This would include rewinding with heaver gage wire, machine a new rotating can with super strength neo magnets and driven with a 3 phase speed control as used with model airplanes. Not a normal diy project.
Awesome project and impressive machine work. Very well done, absolutely impressed.
love your work.
thank you.

It will depend on the number of teeth in the stator. Mine is 9 teeth. 25 gage, 32 winds. First tooth CW, second CCW, third CW and this completes the first phase. Repeat for the other phases. 10 magnets, NSNSNSNSNS. My motor is a Delta config.
The motor is mounted on a wobble stick for balanceing.
TY, most small motors in VCR's and hard drives are 3 phase AC. Yes, they can function as generators. You can Google "Images of 3 phase bridge rectifier" to get a diagram on how to hook up the rectifiers. I don't have any idea how effiecent this will be . You will have to do like everyone else - Experiment.
Glen will you teach me how to rewind those motors and did you balace your new bell? Awesome Job!!!!! Jay S
can you share any info on this motor? did it work or your plane?
and how did you get power to it
or if you know about hard drive motors.. same questions but another motor. thank you.
i need some help with vcr motors.. questions. can i use vcr motor as a generator? and if i can, how to connect it? what do i need for that? i wanna make that vcr motor that he can produce electricity that it can charge the phone..but with minimum of rpm-s and what is the minimum of rpms for that motor to charge my cell phone.. i think i need 5 V and 0.7 A for charging.. so how to connect that and what is the minimum of rpms and what wire should i use. so i can make him efficient as possible.ty
I have a motor from vcr and it's beautiful. But so far I couldn't hook it up. it has some PCB and the only action I got from the motor was slight tilt to one direction and briefly back, and that was it. What is the voltage your motor uses?
***** I just bought a pc power supply, which will be dedicated only for my projects. I think the white wire in the 20-pin ATX connector is -12V. If i use that one + ground, should the motor work? Do I need to control it with either -5V or +5V ? I'm sorry for asking the very basic question, it's just I'm new to this and I would like to know how to do it.
***** pc power supply is a DC power supply. It supplies +12V, +5V (usb-like), 3.3V, -12V (phase) and -5V (phase). In your first response, you told me, dc won't do anything with it, because it's not pulsing. Does that mean the -12 V will work? the connector has 14 pin. It seems to be 3-phase motor, but I'm not sure what it means. If I knew what voltages should I apply to it, i'd be willing to test combinations of them to the pins. I'd love to get it to work for various application in my workshop. But it seems I have LOTS to learn from the smarter folks about the multiple phase stepping motors.
+itube612 Try connecting AC to the motor, you can get low AC voltage from a transformer. First the motor will hum, then spin the motor with your hand and it will spin up. I doubt it will go very fast though.
hi thanks for sharing. , if anyone knows how to make this motor generate electricity i could use some help in connecting it. thank's .
Mars Seeker You can not use this type of motor to generate electricity.
+Hurricane Floyd Electromagnetic phenomenon is fully reversible.
Hurricane Floyd yes you can, it's quite simple actually , i just didn't know think it was that simple . just has to spin fast enough .
