The motor has started. I may not live long enough to find out how long it will run. 🙂 Low RPM mode: Current draw: 150nA Voltage: 33mV Wattage: 0.00495µW 3900000?Wh ÷ 0.00495µW = 787878787.8787879hrs…

This is a test of my latest long running motor. I am using a dollar store solar waver drive unit with power supplied by both a small solar panel and a 3v coin cell….

We used to get weekly power blip power outages here near Tulsa, OK. They fixed it, we now get this sort of thing! In total, the power came on and went back off about…
This is a simple solution to driving my simi – levitated pulse motor rotor. A solar waver drive unit worked great. Adding a AAA battery with a dropping resistor will make it run around…
Lidmotor showed a great method to make low friction rotors for pulse type motors. Here’s his original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Lz94VnY6Y The circuit used here is a simple reed switch + coil. A coil is connected…
This is a pulse motor that uses a magnetically levitated rotor and a simple reed switch driver unit. Slider2732 has done a cool replication of this setup using ring magnets only for the suspension….
This is a type of magnetic levitation called ‘pseudo levitation’. This idea is very old and is an example of how you can use permanent magnets only to levitate —-as long as one axis…
I got my ‘real’ pyrolytic graphite in the mail and here is my first test with this amazing stuff. This project is a quest for a better bearing for extreme low power electric motors….
