Bejon A. Boranian Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Starting up development on new mini Bipolars. Per usual, it starts out life as a simple drawing... ... I have amassed over 1000 armatures of various colors and voltages. (Mostly pulled & torn out of scrapped electro junk.) This will put my limited electrical skill to the final test. Fun, weird, and unique motor fans coming soon. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejon A. Boranian Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 ...Harvested copper, (for coils). ...Many gauges to choose from, for mixed strength (torque) & voltage tolerance. Some are already wrapped, Others had to be looped, wrapped & organized by hand. They are all lacquered or otherwise varnished/ insulated.

Bejon A. Boranian Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 ...So...many...colors! Each armature, a future mini Bipolar fan.... Close to 100 are in these PICS. (Voltage ranges 1.5-12volts, dependent on individual armature.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejon A. Boranian Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 ...Sustainability. Just one "can type" DC motor armature gives me over 60+ components to work with-! ...And not one...not 2... But 3 individual lengths of coil wire.. Perfect gauge for mini use. The armature laminations can be used as vents/ "tab foot" bases or tripod fan bases. 👍😎 I even get insulators, spacers, metal rod, commutator and 1 brass component. (I paid nothing for this, as I tear apart & scrap electro-junk garbage nobody wants.) As an added bonus, it helps recycle or otherwise repurposed used junk.

Bejon A. Boranian Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Teaser... But seriously, I have not forgotten about the mini bipolars this year. Just need to run more tests before a SAMPLE can be offered. This is my "NFS" research model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bejon A. Boranian Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 ...Idea! This build is NOT mine. (To whomever built it or DIY it, you did a great job). 😎 But its really cool, and gives me plenty of fresh ideas on how I can make bipolar fans look like something the 1980s movie TRON. ... Shown working. 12V DC. Neatly built, and gave me 2 starting options. 1.) Plug it in, it works and starts automatically. 2.) Plug it in, only this time, it gives YOU the option to start it. (Gave the blade a slight spin and away it goes). Smooth running, blade easily removable. PICS: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejon A. Boranian Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Other Ideas... Keeping Options open... 🤔💡 These are probably going to be intricate, complicated builds. 😵 At least the lamp one looks easy enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
