IT SPINS! Handmade electric motor! Entirely out of wire! They said it couldn't be done, but I have proven -- it merely shouldn't be done!

Photos don't really capture how ridiculously complicated this thing was to build, so I managed to film myself assembling the components too! Very proud of that.

In total, I've been working on this project on and off for roughly two years. This motor is my third version, though I went through something like seven designs of the commutator section (not counting how many failures it took to build a working example of a given design). I'm very proud of getting this to work at all.

Some close-up photos of all the components:

Six-way commutator. As the motor spins, this delivers electricity to only the correct pair of magnets at a time, leaving the other four off.

Magnet coils. I wound these by hand from very thin insulated wire. The center is a spiral of thicker insulated wire (darker orange) that protects the thin stands from the steel core and then wraps around the outside to hold everything in place.

Spring-loaded arms. These deliver electricity from the stationary frame into the rotating axle. They also have to hinge up out of the way or else there's no room to fit the rotor in place during assembly.

All the components laid out together before assembly.

And the full motor in all its glory!

Now I’m desperately searching around the house trying to find the Virgil pen...

My grandma gave me a pen she got in the mail from one of those junk mail companies, the ones that send you random stuff if you buy something from them like, once- She gave it to me like a month ago, and it’s really pretty! But you see, thing is, it’s light blue with silver bands on it- Nothing particular about that right? Right!

But, you see, due to a brilliant, lovely thing called association, my brain absolutely refuses to refer to it as anything other than ‘The Patton Pen’- Because it’s blue and silver- And I just, like I didn’t even mean to name it, it just happened, it has had it’s name for a good month now, and I kinda laugh anytime I use it-

So yeah, there really isn’t any story here, I know it seemed like I was leading up to something, but I just wanted to share the fact that I have unintentionally named a pen after Patton-

what do you call a pansexual man named nick who works at a cd store?
