Just a very quick update:  I have the second half of the winding frame done.

Wire should be here by this weekend, I hope.

Quick update:  The two spools of 30 awg wire arrived today.  This will take me a while to wind them.  I am working on a winder of sorts, to help speed it up. But this will still take some time.  I hope to have this done by the end of March.

Arrrrgh.  I have suffered an equipment malfunction.  The aluminium frame I was winding the copper wire on came apart.  I was using glue from a hot glue gun, but the glue could not hold up with my winding apparatus. Switching to an apoxy.  This does mean that I have to un-wind what I have done so far.  Oh well. I thought there might be problems with the glue. Time for bed.  Good night....

Ok, done un-winding the broken frame.  Now using apoxy this time. Should hold a lot better.  Ok back to working on it.

Update:  Almost done!!!! Going faster than expected. I have even done a preliminary test of applying voltage to the coil directly for a few seconds to see if it will actually turn. Yes it does, although a bit slowly.  The rotor is heavy, plus the wheel/commutator, but it still turns. I am certain that it will gain speed as it goes.

Anyways here are some more pictures from today:

Just so you all know, I should have motor #3 done tomorrow. I have plans on making two videos.  The first will be a full explanation of my motor and my view on Newman's theory. This will be as long as it takes. The second one will be of the motor running, showing me taking measurements. So keep an eye out for my next videos.

Also, thanks for the kind/encouraging comments.  :D

Hey awsome construction work best commutator i seen yet, but i think you really should of used a wooden frame instead of a metal one, newman says that no magnetic materials are aloude in the motor except the magnet stack on the shaft.

I used aluminium because it is not magnetic. I also had to use brass nuts and bolts since the glue was not strong enough.  There is no magnetic interference with the aluminium or the brass.  Thanks for your input though.

Also please note, that once I have finished building this motor, I will start a third thread for a discussion of it.  I should be done this morning, I only need two more things from the hardware store. So a new thread will be started soon.

If you run into commutator weight problems, I would recommend using stained glass foiling tape.  It is copper ribbon with an adhesive backing ( copper tape ) ..and may make things a bit easier for setting up brush contacts.

Thanks. I do use that copper tape. See my next thread on my third motor. Actually in this thread (reply #24) there are pictures showing the copper tape on the base board.  Right now it will turn, but there are other issues keeping it from turning.
