Electric Motor Design Guide

Best Candidate for OSE

• Usable power
• Easy to build
• Low cost

Candidate

• http://www.amazingdiyprojects.com/electric_motor-simplified.html

• 500W, 2500 RPM - brushless DC, includes ESR circuit design. 73% efffucient.

• I don't see why this simple thing would not be fully functional and immediately workable with the plastic shredder. I am amazed at the small size for the power output. The guy who designed this is pretty sharp.
• The Halbach array one is one option (see 3D Printed Electric Motor) - but the AmazingDIYprojects one seems to be 1/3 the cost and 2x lower weight. Seems like $30 for the mechanical parts.
• Lends itself well to 3D printing.
• Looks completely competitive with off-shelf professional motors - minus some efficiency. But not bad for first functional prototype.
