Exploring electromagnetism with DIY laser cut motor<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"laser<\/a><\/p>\n

Teaching kids about how motors work can be a lot of fun, particularly when they get to build and experiment on the motors themselves. So when engineer Matt Venn<\/a>\u00a0spotted a neat little 3D printed motor, he decided to make his own variation – this time using laser cut components and an Arduino to run the show.<\/p>\n

The learning experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once all the kinks were worked out, the Arduino was replaced by a few cheap electronic components. This way, students have the opportunity to build the entire setup from scratch, mounting the electronics on a breadboard as they work out exactly what each component does.<\/p>\n

The adjustable laser cut rotor has slots to hold different numbers and configurations of magnets, and this can be further extended by cutting custom rotors to suit alternate magnet arrangements.<\/p>\n

This is a great project that encourages a hands-on approach to exploring electromagnetism by building a simple DC brushless motor.\u00a0Consideration has been made to come up with a laser cut solution that can be assembled and studied within the time constraints of a science class workshop.<\/p>\n

Matt has provided all of the files and extra info you need to get the motor up and running on GitHub,<\/a>\u00a0where you will also find a brief video walkthrough that highlights how the motor and supporting circuitry work.<\/p>\n
