How to make a DC motor

 

⚙️ DIY DC Motor

-Yo friends
I built a working DC motor at home using only basic components — and it spins FAST πŸŒ€
It’s the perfect science model for class, and it’s also lowkey satisfying to watch it work πŸ”§πŸ”₯


🧰 Things I Used:


πŸ› ️ Build Process:

  1. Make the Coil:

    • Took copper wire and wrapped it around a pen 10–15 times to make a tight coil.

    • Left some wire sticking out like straight arms.

    • Used sandpaper to remove enamel only from one side of each wire end.

  2. Set Up the Base:

    • Fixed two safety pins onto a cardboard using rubber bands.

    • Bent them to hold the coil horizontally, like a support.

  3. Magnet Time:

    • Placed a strong magnet right under the coil’s center.

  4. Power It Up:

    • Connected the safety pins to both ends of the AA battery.

    • Once the circuit was complete… BOOM — the coil started spinning πŸ”⚡


πŸ’‘ Science Behind It:

  • The battery creates a current through the coil.

  • Magnetic field + electric current = force (called Lorentz Force).

  • That force makes the coil spin — basic motor action πŸ’₯





πŸš€ Why It’s Epic:

  • You literally made a motor with your own hands

  • Awesome for school demos and YouTube shorts

  • Teaches electromagnetism in the most fun way

  • Super budget-friendly and satisfying to test


πŸ’¬ Final Words:

A DIY DC motor might be small, but it’s a total brain flex.
This project proves how powerful simple science can be when you apply it like a creator 😎
Keep building, keep learning, and keep spinning that W energy!

I know it doesn't work properly for a project. So, if you want motors for cool stuffs then you must click it https://amzn.to/4jMgIPH

πŸ—️πŸ’§ I Built a Hydraulic Excavator Arm at Home (Using Injections & Pipes!)

Hey, it’s me, Sintu — a teenager who loves building stuff instead of just watching reels all day πŸ˜…. Recently, I built something super cool : a working Excavator  arm that uses hydraulic power . No motors. No batteries. Just water, pressure, and some jugaadu creativity. Here’s how I made it πŸ‘‡ 🧰 What I Used to Make My JCB Arm I didn’t buy any fancy kit. I made it with easily available stuff (and some from the local medical store πŸ˜†) 🧩 Item πŸ’‘ Use 6 Injections (Syringes)    For creating the hydraulic push-pull action PVC Pipes           For making the frame and structure Plastic Pipe / IV Tube         For connecting the syringes and transferring pressure Wires        For joints and extra strength Water       The actual fluid to create hydraulic pressure πŸ›’ Similar stuff on Amazon (you should buy them for every robot): Pipe for hydrolic pressure PVC sheet for bod...

DIY Mini Water Pump

Hey everyone! Here’s a super cool science project that actually works — a Mini Water Pump made using a simple DC motor . ! πŸ”₯ This is one of those fun DIY builds that looks like pro-level stuff, but is made using things anyone can find at home 😎 🧰 Build It Yourself – What You’ll Need: 1 Small DC Motor Plastic pipe or straw Bottle cap or a small plastic box (for pump casing) A small fan blade (used as an impeller) Wires for connection Water πŸ’§ No fancy tools. No glue gun. Just creative vibes and some basic stuff lying around. You can buy these products by given links πŸ‘‡πŸ» πŸ›’ Buy the Parts : Wanna try making this at home?

Hello World! A Teenager’s Introduction to Robotics

  Welcome to Rbot Boy: My Robotics Journey Begins! πŸ€– Hey there! I’m Sintu, and this is my first ever blog post on Rbot Boy . I’ve started this blog because I’ve a strong interest in robotics , and I thought — why not share my journey while I learn? I’m a teenager, and I don’t have any fancy coaching or classes. I just explore stuff on the internet, try small experiments, and learn by doing. It’s not always easy, but it’s a lot of fun! Why I Made This Blog πŸ› ️ I’ve always been curious about how machines work. When I saw videos of small robots doing cool things — like avoiding obstacles, following lines, or even picking up stuff — I got super interested. Since I’m just starting out, I thought maybe other students like me might also be searching for simple ways to learn robotics. So this blog is like my notebook — but public! You can learn with me, side by side. What You’ll See on Rbot Boy I’m planning to post: Basic stuff I’m learning in robotics Simple projects wit...
