@jeremy_fieldingAbout
My goal is simple. Draw people to engineering with interesting projects; Inspire them with ideas; Then teach them how to do it. I am fascinated with all things mechanical, but most of my projects require multiple disciplines. So, you will also see electronics, motors, welding, machining, mechanical design and more. If you would like to contribute to future projects please consider my Patreon, or become a YouTube Member. https://www.patreon.com/jeremyfieldingsr Please use my website, to contact me. www.jeremyfielding.com
Video Description
An introduction to motor types, power, and references to how to wire, speed control, and use all the common types of motors with a focus on reusing motors salvaged from appliances and other sources. Steppers, BLDC, PMDC, single and three phase, universal motors, and more If you want to chip in a few bucks to support these projects and teaching videos, please visit my Patreon page or Buy Me a Coffee. https://www.patreon.com/jeremyfieldingsr https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jeremyfielding Social media Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jeremy_fielding/?hl=en Twitter https://twitter.com/jeremy_fielding My websites https://www.jeremyfielding.com https://www.fatherhoodengineered.com My other channel - Fatherhood engineered https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_jX1r7deAcCJ_fTtM9x8ZA ************************************ Notes: One Playlist with all the videos. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4njCTv7IRbyJbm1WOi6zeE8G-75Xz8JJ R#1 Introduction to Gears (Beginning of Video) https://youtu.be/QPY9cJS3eHo R#2 Using Pulleys https://youtu.be/syWiGYDOM70 R#3 How Single phase motors Work https://youtu.be/2XYdTogWcIA R#4 Wiring Single phase motors https://youtu.be/ZKodxGcRSnw R#5a Single phase Speed control problems part 1 https://youtu.be/tXJOtWPPRwE R#5b Speed control problems part 2 https://youtu.be/JTlHNOaBnPI R#6 How 3 phase motors work https://youtu.be/TumJjfcVVuo R#7 Run 3 phase on Single phase https://youtu.be/cE34YHsRY88 R#8 How Universal motors work https://youtu.be/uf2mI9pYcPg R#9 How to wire Universal or DC motors https://youtu.be/ASywVBU0ZwE R#10 How DC motors work https://youtu.be/onjFFoOC_yk R#11 The treadmill speed controller https://youtu.be/CeF1I18DhNc R#12 How Steppers work, and Using them with Arduino https://youtu.be/0qwrnUeSpYQ R#13 Intro to Motors and BLDC motors https://youtu.be/C1-klL3B9LU Bonus 1: How to reverse your motors direction https://youtu.be/uy80khWdzsI Bonus 2: Motor video library project. https://youtu.be/1lceBm2KPps FAQ from the comments 1. What do you do with all the motors? You might be new here, but nearly every project on my channel has an electric motor in it. I love making things that move. Also I create teaching videos (like the one you just watched), so I am looking to collect as many different motor types as I can find, then create videos about how they work and how to use them. Check out bonus 2 from the references above. 2. Can you make a generator/windmill/ etc with these motors? Check out my series on the generator project. You will learn a great deal there. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4njCTv7IRbzNzryZ5xzxxCNq5uK9tYT6 3. Which motors can you use in a go kart? I have a series of videos about my electric go kart. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4njCTv7IRbyzE9VJzf8rc57FvieMzu_0 Technical corrections Nothing yet. Final Note: PLEASE UNDERSTAND...I receive hundreds of messages on all platforms (email, Facebook, comments etc) asking for advice, and help with projects. At this volume, I simply can't do one on one advice.
