Kind of cool....For a small kid in school....I was hoping for something better, but then the hot glue gun was out and it went a little downhill from there on.
I haven't worked on it, but I have thought about it. You know, there are theories that a space-time warp drive is possible. The only problem is, it requires the energy mass of Jupiter to work. So ... but because the electromagnetic field is embedded into the fabric of space time, I don't see why we couldn't exploit it in some way for propulsion through space. I think we will need to unify all the fields before we have enough understanding to do so.
In a comutator based d.c. motor the two contacts for the rotor coil(solenoid), or the brushes, will be 180° apart. In a pulse driven motor the said contacts can be on the same side . . ?

It doesn't work and it's painful. Should the distance between the two magnets be equal to their distance from the center? Also, how many volts do you use in the battery?
Here's another person's comment that explains why: "this doesn't use a commutator. he only scrapes half of the wire so that way he doesn't need to reverse the current to allow it to spin but by doing so he sacrifices half of the potential power" -Zenithteal
Blooming Talentz this doesn't use a commutator. he only scrapes half of the wire so that way he doesn't need to reverse the current to allow it to spin but by doing so he sacrifices half of the potential power
You could try putting a stack of washers that fit perfectly inside the coil. Because of the added weight, you might need to MacGyver some sort of support so that it doesn't bend the wire ends.
Why couldn't someone make something where electromagnetic waves are emitted and directed through a special coil in order to create force in one direction rather than rotational motion as in this example. So it would be something that could give propulsion in empty space. It's not a perpetual motion device, because it would use up energy to create the EM waves. I suppose I'll have to just make one and see why it can't be done. If I succeed though, I am sure our US military will want to use it.
Hi, can you please give me a detailed list of the materials? Because i was trying to do the experiment but it doesn't work. So Maybe you could help me with this! Btw Congrats for the video is great!
The video has serious safety issues. Don't do it the way he did because there is risk of serious burns from touching the rotor winding. Running the motor for extended periods of time can also be a fire risk. To do it properly, you need hundreds of turns in the rotor to reduce the current to a level that won't cause the wire to heat up. But you'll also need to wind the wire around something iron, like a nail, to increase the strength of the magnetic field.
The lacquer coating is meant to protect the copper wire but it also act as an insulator, scraping the coating off means removing that resistance which lessens the conductivity of the wire so that electrons could move more smoothly.
Quite frankly, the instructions in this video are dangerous. The rotor _will_ get hot enough to cause burns. If left on for an extended period of time, it may even be a fire hazard. First of all, you're using 3 inches of wire to build the rotor winding. That looks like 32 AWG wire, so you're putting over 140 A of current through it with the 6 V battery. You NEED to use a lot more length, at least 20 feet, or else it's going to melt. The batteries are also not going to last more than a few minutes. Obviously you did it this way to generate a strong enough magnetic field to turn the rotor. But that's because you used an air core! Use an iron core -- even a nail would be significantly better! That would reduce the required current by a factor of 5000. To get the correct resistance for that current, your rotor needs to have hundreds of turns. And number of poles is NOT the number of loops. Number of poles in a motor refers to the number of _magnetic_ poles. You have two poles. It's impossible to have a working motor with just one pole.
Amazing experiment, excellent thinking. More rotations in the copper coil, the stronger the magnetic flux, therefore higher torque.
why is a video 10 years ago so good quality
Thanks man, i can build my own car now.
Kind of cool....For a small kid in school....I was hoping for something better, but then the hot glue gun was out and it went a little downhill from there on.
project videoes are a fantastic idea. well done. please keep 'em coming!

Using 6 Volts(from four AAA cells) seems a bit much!! I think you could get equal results from 1.5 Volts from a C cell
It seems to be 12V instead
Wow I remember my young self watching this amazing video
You Are Genius !
In a comutator based d.c. motor the two contacts for the rotor coil(solenoid), or the brushes, will be 180° apart. In a pulse driven motor the said contacts can be on the same side . . ?
Am making mine thanx...i would like to book online class ..
Awesome vid
Can you give a list of the materials?
Great Video!
5:42 Five loops does not mean five poles. The motor in a hairdryer has many loops/turns of wire within it!
The motor in an AC powered hairdryer has no permanent magnets!
Great video!!
Very good video thank you so much also i will try this you got a new sub
It doesn't work and it's painful. Should the distance between the two magnets be equal to their distance from the center? Also, how many volts do you use in the battery?
where did you buy that electrical wire attached to them batteries? please tell
interesting video
this is an awesome video you explained everything perfectly so now i subscribed
Hello How would you make a motor that would be strong enough to move a person?
1. Get a light person (e,g a newborn baby)
2. Profit.
how do i make a more powerfull motor, like to be able to change the position of 80kg weight, 1/10 of a car
I want to know the same thing
lucas falenski Well so far i know you need a very stronger energy source. but i am not sure how to use the source tho.
thx for your experments>
Can you please explain how it works?
Hi, I can see you didn't use any commutators so its rotation should bounce between clockwise and counterclockwise. Is your motor doing so?
Here's another person's comment that explains why:
"this doesn't use a commutator. he only scrapes half of the wire so that way he doesn't need to reverse the current to allow it to spin but by doing so he sacrifices half of the potential power"

Great Video!!! but is this a motor with Commutator or the one with out commutator?
Blooming Talentz this doesn't use a commutator. he only scrapes half of the wire so that way he doesn't need to reverse the current to allow it to spin but by doing so he sacrifices half of the potential power
Why not make a windmill to spin magnets in the center with a coil surrounding the spinning magnets?
Why does the Copper wire need to be symmetrical? Or follow in the same path as the layers below it.
if it is longer in one part than the other it will get hotter over time, causing bad things to occur
عالی هست
Why do you only scrape one side of the wire?
how can I make it more powerful
You could try putting a stack of washers that fit perfectly inside the coil. Because of the added weight, you might need to MacGyver some sort of support so that it doesn't bend the wire ends.
Thanks alot

why do we have to scrape off the ends??
is this a dc motor?
Now I get it, the copper wire turn because of the attraction and repulsion; and because it is placed in a torque, it will repeat the cycle again.

T2T- True. He is so unproffesional.
@@morbo3000 this simple setup can lead to some serious burns?

So is this a new branch of educational video from Khanacademy????
ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
Thanks
great job
Material list??
So how'd that work out for you?
picture = 1000 words. Experiment = 1000 pictures.
Where did you get the materials?

Why does he scrape the coating off?
The lacquer coating is meant to protect the copper wire but it also act as an insulator, scraping the coating off means removing that resistance which lessens the conductivity of the wire so that electrons could move more smoothly.
Better conductivity
where is commutator???
👊
he just uploaded a video from someone
The stronger the magnets the beter

T2T- holy cow do you really think 140A is passing through that wire?
