Description

I'Ve Always Loved Motors. I Had The Nutty Idea To Design An "Open Source" Motor That Could Be Printed And Built Using Nothing More Than Magnet Wire, Some Patience And A Few Off The Shelf Components Like Skate Bearings And The Like. I Developed A Parametric Openscad Script For Designing The Coil Forms And Structure Of The Motor, Printed A Few Pieces Then Got Pulled Away. This Is What I Was Able To Complete. The Idea Was This Was To Be A Simple 3 Phase Induction Motor. The Electronics Required To Drive It Would Be Complicated, But The Motor Itself Is Dirt Simple, 3 Coils And A Core. The Scad Script Generates All The Pieces.
