Pulse Motor(s) for Zero Back emf Experiment

thingiverse

The original design of this motor is a testament to the late John Bedini's genius, despite never having met him in person. His work has inspired me greatly and given me hope for the future. I would also like to extend special thanks to Peter L., whose dedication and hard work have significantly contributed to this technology. A huge debt of gratitude goes out to the moderators of Energy Science Forum for providing a platform where we can discuss this innovative technology freely. Disclaimer: This project comes with significant health risks, including catastrophic failure of parts spinning at high speed, which can result in severe injury, property damage, and even death. Please exercise extreme caution when building and experimenting with this motor. This is my attempt to replicate the motor showcased in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQzcYZk9MWA. A more detailed discussion of this technology can be found on Energy Science Forum at http://www.energyscienceforum.com/showthread.php?t=3384. The design requires 1/4" X 3/4" X up to 7/32" deep bearings, a 1/4" shaft, and your choice of pulsing method/circuit and magnet wire. The two-magnet rotor is designed for 1/2" X 1/4" magnets; this may be updated in the future. The holes for attaching the top mount are for 6-32 bolts. This is a small-scale version, approximately 4 inches square. As of December 5th, 2016, at 11:07 AM EST, I have not yet built this motor. December 5th, 2016, at 12:30 AM EST, I added two additional rotor options with corresponding reed/hall switching rotors. The magnets for the rotors are 1/2" X 1/4" disc magnets, and the reed/hall magnets are 1/8" X 1/4" D cylinder magnets. To secure the rotor, I used pieces of 1/4" inch tube as bearing stand-offs. Once you decide on a permanent setup, lightly sand the shaft and apply a minimal amount of Gorilla Glue to hold it in place. When printing either the 4-mag rotor or the 6-mag rotor, be sure to use support on the bottom, as there is a stand-off at the bottom of the rotors. You may need to run a drill bit through some holes to ensure a clean fit. December 8th, 2016: With encouragement from others, I decided to add the second version, which appears closer to Peter's replication. The coils occupy two 90-degree sections of 360 degrees. The rotor here is 2.25" inches in radius. All other specifications remain the same as the first version. This print will be more challenging and requires support on both the coil piece and rotor. With an adapter for horizontal stacking, multiple motors can be easily connected.
