Review: Very fun and safe little project to learn about DC Motors - I bought this as a toy to play with and eventually so that my kids can play with it and get to learn about electricity in the process. Putting it together is very simple and straightforward, although it may be a bit confusing due to the images in the manual being black and white and thus making it a bit hard to identify how components go together. I ended up using common sense and following the labels of the images. The wording is a bit confusing but it’s much better than other hobby kits. I spent about 20 minutes putting the kit together and it was very fun! The parts are well made, and fit together quite good. Tolerances seem pretty good for a toy. The magnet is surprisingly strong. The kit even came with a small wrench to help tighten the nuts. I plugged it in with a constant current and constant voltage power supply I bought to power this motor. I set it up to output 6V @ 1.5A max and it worked fine. At first it was very noisy, but I put some PTFE-based lubricant on the bushings and it ran much smoother, faster and overall more efficient. I think it could be used as a generator, I tried turning the motor with my hand and measuring the output voltage and it seems to output some voltage, which I find very interesting, especially because I can eventually teach my kids about power generation.
Review: Fun, educational kit - I purchased this motor kit to give to my grandson who is 16 so he can learn how motors work. Before giving it to him, I assembled and tested it. It is fairly easy to put together although the instructions could be a little clearer as there are 2 screw sizes and the instructions do not state which size goes where. Initially I assembled it wrong and then had to remove the screws and put the correct ones in their intended places. Once assembled, I used 2 AA batteries to provide 3V since the instructions say to power with between 3 and 6 volts. However, I was not able to get the motor turning. I then connected it to a bench supply capable of delivering up to 3 amps. From what I saw, it takes about 1 amp to get the motor turning, but when it does, it highlights the physics behind how a motor operates. I also connected it as a generator and was able to get a voltage reading across the leads when I spun the motor by hand. It was a fun project and I have disassembled the kit to give my grandson so he can get the benefit of building it and studying how it works. One improvement would be to include a pamphlet that describes the operation of motors and generators so that users can see the science in action.

## Features

- 🧲【For Labs Physics】This Electric Motor Kit is designed to teach the working principles of a permanent magnet DC motor and transform it into a DC electric motor. It is perfect for electronic enthusiasts and DIY beginners who want to learn about simple motor design, as it is easy to assemble and disassemble. Additionally, it is ideal for school projects or as a teaching aid.
- 🧲【Product Parameter】This demo motor comes equipped with a power cable and, when connected to a DC 3-6V power supply, will rotate like a real motor. It has an assembled size of 14 x 9 x 10 cm / 5.51 x 3.54 x 3.94 inches (L x W x H).
- 🧲【Kindly Use Tips】If you have assembled the kit, tested the power supply, and it still isn't working, please check the Armature Coil and Electric Brushes. If you find that there is poor connection, adjust them so that they touch closely. You can turn the rotor bracket to ensure that the gap between the two brushes is in the middle.
- 🧲【User Manual】A user guide is included in the package and we have also uploaded the manual on the desertcart page. You can find it in the Product guides and documents section.
- 🧲【Applicable Group】This DIY Motor Kit project need to be assembled by the user themselves. We recommend that people aged 15 and above use it under professional guidance.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: About how many rpms does this produce?**
A: depends on voltage

**Q: Can this kit also be used as a small learning dc generator as well as a dc motor?**
A: Jerry, Great Question in theory any DC Motor can perform either task.   This kit if you apply a voltage and slightly spin the shaft it will spin as a DC Motor.  To use as a generator with nothing connected spin the motor kit shaft with a drill motor and connect a volt meter between the red and black female banana terminals and you should see a +/- voltage spin the drill the other direction you should see the voltage reverse .  If you have a 1000ufd 25 V capacitor and you connect it across the banana jacks this will help to smooth out the voltage fluctuations.

**Q: How big is this product?  It is hard to tell from the pictures.**
A: The base is a hard plastic about 3/4 inches high, 3 1/2 inches wide, and 5 1/2 inches long.  The entire rotor is a steel rod 3 inches long counting the commutator on one end and a plastic pulley on the other, and is about 1 1/2 inches above the plastic base.  The stator sides are made of steel that is coated with red with a permanent magnet on the top.  The rotor assembly is 3 1/4 inches high.  I assembled the kit in about 10 minutes.  The only challenge was getting the right bend on the brushes so they make good contact with the commutator.  It's a great little kit and works well on 6 volts.  I used a battery clip that I picked up at an electronics store that has a '9volt battery connection' and holds 4 AA batteries. I used a standard 9 volt battery clip to connect to the motor leads.  Definitely a good motor for a science project.

**Q: Can it be reversed to work as a dynamo / generator?**
A: Possibly but it would be too inefficient. I doubt it could light an LEad

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works exactly as expected. Also make a loop motor on your own to teach kids.
*by R***B on June 15, 2019*

The motor worked as advertised, and as other reviews indicated, the assembly instructions were poor but quite easy to figure out. See photos of instructions, they are really bad (almost blacked out) black and white copies where you need to see the photos. However the parts list on the other side was helpful (I had all parts). I've attached some photos of final assembly so you can see how the parts fit, including a view of the bottom. Regarding starting the motor: as other reviewers have said, don't start it with it shorted. See the two close-up photos. The motor will default and roll into the "bad" position (2nd photo) where the arms are touching the middle of the copper area. Every time you start it, you need to roll it so that the white non-copper part is in the middle of the arm (1st photo). If it is shorted (bad position) when you start when you are holding the wire to a battery with your finger (or the child's finger), the wire will get very hot quickly. (ouch) Yes you could add your own switch but I didn't bother. If you put more voltage (more batteries), the child can easily see it spins faster. All that said, if you're doing this as an education project, you should probably go over the right-hand rule for magnetism and why a loop concentrates this magnetism by virtue of having many loops: more loops, more magnetism. In the end after putting this motor together, I ended up doing a demonstration for the kids by my own DIY motor that demonstrates magnetism from a flowing current, and how adding a magnet can make this a motor. This demonstration seemed to show the concepts much more clearly than a sophisticated thing like this product being reviewed here. Here's what i did. Buy a spool of enamel wire (magnet wire, available here on Amazon) and curl it into a loop around your finger a dozen times or so. Demonstrate its magnetism with an AA battery and how it is attracted/repulsed from a fridge magnet. Then cut the piece so a little end sticks out on both ends of the loop, and selectively sand only one half of each end, so that the enamel is still intact for one half of the wire. Mount it on stand that conducts electricity (paper clip does fine), and hook that up to a AA battery. Mount a magnet under and it should spin. See youtube videos for "How to build a simple electric motor" (v=bH7DFPIayNg) and you'll see what I mean. I think the simplicity shows kids better how a motor works. Having both this product and building the DIY magnet-wire demo ended up being a nice complementary combination for teaching.
