Motors for a DIY'R

[500Driver]

Hi There,

I have a little collection of brushed and brushless motors for a talented 'do it yourself'er'.

Free to a good home...but a little help with shipping and handling would be appreciated :)

Thanks!

Wow! That's quite a collection!
I saw them first! :D

Salvage...if you want em'...just send me your address.

These came out of a DVD/VCR combo.

I love the big flat one with blue coils....just have no idea what to do with it :)

If $10.00 will cover shipping,I'll take the them.

[500Driver]

crazy eight!...haha...$10 is way too much!

PM me your address and I'll take em' to the PO and whatever it works out to be I'll let you know.

Thanks!

PS - the only other caveat...you HAVE to let us know how you use them :) I want to see the project

[500Driver]

These are headed to Crazy Eight!

Stay tuned for a project update! :)

[jumboearl]

Yes! I also have a drawer full of these. What can be done with them?

[futabafreak]

if you want only 1/2 of a drawer full I know what I could do with it. lol

[jumboearl]

I have things like that, too, one of them might even have ball-bearings already!
What to do?

[futabafreak]

if you have something like the blue motor what you do is get THICK wire and wind it than put a super big prop on it and see what happens and than you can power a slow stick with a 14" prop. lol I was looking for the hard drive motors like the blue one a while ago but no one had any.

[futabafreak]

if there's anything in that drawer thats taking up space and you can part with give me a pm :p

[FireFlyer]

That Blue thing would make a cool looking simulated Radial.....like something out of MAD MAX! Gotta see the project!

[futabafreak]

If any one has a motor like the blue one...Im looking for one and will do a build thread of what I do with it.

[500Driver]

Hey Futaba,

Contact Crazy Eight and see if he wants it...if not and I get the word from Crazy Eight I'll ship it to you.

[Crazy Eight]

Yeah,you can ship that one to him,I have some of those already.

[futabafreak]

have you ever done anything with them before?

[Crazy Eight]

Not those,the stators are too thin to get any power out of them.If I had three or four of identical motors,I could come up with something.

[Crazy Eight]

These are all homemade/salvaged motors that I use regularly.

[500Driver]

one word...


SWEET!

[500Driver]

Hey Guys...

I contacted the moderators to move this thread over to DIY now...so we can follow the lives of these motors :)

Wish I'd documented the demise of the DVD/VCR player they came out of...

ah well...

have fun!

Ron,I started with all the info I could find on the powerditto website(powercroco now).
Then I experimented with different winds,magnet combos,and stator heights.It ended up being 36.5 x 5mm 18n24p.

People will just about buy anything it appears anymore.

"Don't need any, but I'll take two mentallity", seems to be the norm.

:rolleyes:

[500Driver]

These were freebies and these guys are going to use em'.

BTW - they shipped today

[futabafreak]
