General Instructions for Motor Assembly

@@ Line 10: / Line 10: @@
 The students based their design around the hardware components of the Laimer motor but generated completely new 3D designs in FreeCAD. The motor the students produced is in more of a raw form. There are no threads to attach the rotor cap to the rotor, for example. Even so, the motor seems easily able to exceed 1000rpm (no measurement has yet been made). There are several other design elements that may be improved - in order to get the motor working, for example, two adapter rings had to be printed - the "Motor Ring" and the "Bearing Adapter Ring." These may be incorporated into future modifications and printed as part of other components of the motor.
