Homemade motor from tin-can, nail, and magnet wire
When I was a kid my dad and I built a homemade electric motor from
plans in a book or magazine. Components were a frame made of a cut and bent tin can, an axle made out of a nail, and windings made from magnet wire. The wiring on the armature had a lot of scotch tape for some reason. There were windings on both the motor and the tin-can frame, and commutation was from brushes made out of little pieces of brass sheet. Does anyone recognize this project, and know of a website or the title of a book that will help me recreate it with my kids? Tim. |
