Don't know what happen to yesterdays post, so trying again.
Anyway. Made some small motors from scratch in 2012/2013 with some inspiration from reprinted books for projects for boys years ago. These presented some insanity :insane:
on getting them to work. Used what wire I had on hand for the coils since this was all a guessing game. All hand wound . All motors run with the one in picture 3 & 7 going over a thousand RPM. Rewound the armature 4 times before I got it right. :facepalm: None have any real power and I run them on a 18V drill motor battery. Quite a learning experience !

Very nice motors Brian! I like it! :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:

Reminded me of a very simple motor my Dad made for me about 55-60 years ago. Dad was a maintenance electrician in the local factory, and was trying to interest me in following in his footsteps. I drained many batteries watching it run... Ended up with a military career in avionics, and a second career in computers.

Being in the electrical and electronic field for over 50 years I can appreciate your motors Brian. They are well made! :ThumbsUp:
