Model Electric Motors?

Impressive Andrew, you obviously know your stuff, unfortunately I didnt understand any of it but I am still awake..

And I now have considerable reluctance to ask where you'd stick a capacitor.

Well I think I can say that Lecky is now finished, all seems to run very smoothly with a good run on when the power is turned off and will happily tick over at a nice slow speed or go like the clappers.

You will see at the end that I have brought this 110 year old design upto date.

That really is very nice indeed Jason, you have made a lovely job of it, I,m still amazed at how fast it runs. When its ticking over I could listen to it for ages, its a bit like an old clock ticking away in the background, something very soothing about it.

Ron

Congratulations Jason.

The motor’s speeds are impressive, and so is yours in bringing the undertaking to completion so quickly.

How clever too, the reversing mechanism.

This will make a good first project for those not greatly into steam power.

Not yet, anyway.

Sam

Back to winter temperatures and rainfall in Melbourne.

If you spin it backwards, will it charge your phone?

Have you started on the Bipolar motor Jason or saving it for the future.

Is that the one that needs a Shrink before it can start?

Not yet Ron, too many other engines nearer the top of the list

Any hints as to what they are ? By the time i type this you will probably have finished two of them 😁
