Been Reading Cicero's Rant About Words Being Given Obscene Meanings And I Don't Think I've Ever Seen

This seems like an appropriate first post :)

10,000 reblogs and I will translate the script of Bee Movie into a language that I will invent solely for this purpose

The Beast that Bothers

My gender ate my cat when I was at school. I got mad and drowned it in the toilet

I lost my gender in…the accident.

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!

Y’all should listen to this super awesome podcast called the Amelia project. What else are you gonna do, you can’t go outside.

Basically the podcast is about an organisation that helps people disappear. Pretty cool right? Perfect to listen to while drinking a cup of cacao.
