This week I have been working on a helicopter project and building motors. I have integrated the two into one large project.
The chopper I am designing is still at the prototype stage. I want to first build a small model and then I will be able to know if a bigger model will be fees-able in terms of weight and strength of the motor...
I took two fridge magnets in this project and winded a coil and designed its support. I bored a hole through a block of Styrofoam and carved the shape of the fuselage with a knife. I taped the two magnets opposite each other, and placed the supports in the bored hole. I then put the coil inside the vicinity, put some power to it but sadly the motor did not run on 2 1.5V batteries...

...I will troubleshoot to find out where I went wrong but I am hopeful that the project will work out and who knows maybe I will be able to design a bigger model which will carry 2 9V batteries for its power and a radio or remote sensor to control the speeds. If that becomes successful I will study the full workings of choppers and I could design a model that can move to different places and can do recon work with the aid of a powerful camera...
...This is all possible... here is the link to the site I used for the design of the motor:
Motor Design - Build your own electric Motor.
...I am also looking for people who are interested in this so that we can work together to design something exceptional...
