[Video] Building A Simple DIY DC Motor.
Make a DC motor — Victor8o5
Making a simple but functional DC motor is actually pretty simple. You don’t need all those complicated knick-knacks. What you need are a few inexpensive materials you can easily purchase from any hardware store, and a set of helpful instructions to get you started. Many thanks to author — Victor8o5 @ instructables.com.
In this instructable I will show how to make a nice and functional DC motor.
This motor can be used for demonstration purposes, as a class project or just to have it over your desk, it is really simple to make….Victor8o5
Materials:
-Slab of wood.
-Magnet wire (also known as coated copper wire)
-Metallic sheet (or 2x threaded hooks)
-Magnet/sTools:
-Plain wood saw.
-Jewelers saw
-Metal saw.
-Sandpaper. (dremel or other tools if available will do the job easier)Making the body of the motor:
Draw the zones you want to cut through over the wood, the shape doesn’t really matters as long as there’s a concave or half cylindrical shape inside so the coil can spin freely.
I cut it with a jewelers saw, with no doubt, a band saw can do it faster and better, so, if you have the opportunity, use one.
Finishing the body of the motor
Unless we use precision tools we’ll certainly end with some imperfections, to solve this I used a dremel with the sanding bit and ring for the rough zones and sandpaper wrapped on a circular tube for the final details, as before, it is important to keep it straight and level to avoid inclined zones.
Making the brackets
Next, if we want the coil to stay in place, we must bend the plates making a “U” shape.
Last details
Two screws on each side will help to keep to hold the plates in place. To finish it all I paint the block with a diluted mix of black paint and acetone to conserve the grit of the wood.
The magnet
I inserted the magnet at the base of the block, I drilled a small hole and attached some staples at the other side so the magnet wouldn’t move, I made the hole big enough so I could reverse the polarity of the magnet.
The coil
To make the coil I wrapped thick copper wire around a cylindrical object and tied the ends so the coil was tightly wrapped.
