Solar Energy Research Update
This is an update on my research on solar energy products. Here is the Youtube video that inspired me to stop and take a closer look at what is happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF8_mn8D884&t=349s

Electronic Tooth Pick Motor
This is my ‘Tooth Pick Motor’ being driven by an electronic circuit rather than a reed switch circuit. The advantage is much better reliability. The mechanical reed switches wear out over time and have…

Self Oscillating Choke Motor
This shows my ‘Choke Motor’ put into a self oscillating neon light driver. If the magnet rotor is held in a certain fixed position the reed switch will bounce at a high rate as…

Choked Paper Pulse Motor
This shows a method of making a homemade electric motor using paper products for the main structure and a common electonic component called a ‘choke’ for the drive coil. The larger 10mH choke will…

Choke Motor
This is a simple electric motor using a common electroinic component called a ‘choke’ as the drive coil. I have tried this idea before but it worked very well on this motor which has…

Tooth Pick Motor— Final Design
After lots of work on this ‘Tooth Pick Motor’ project I went back to my original quest which was to build a motor using just tooth picks. It was just a simple idea and…
