I am trying to build and design an electric motor which essentially would consist of two coils, about 6 x 3 inches long, and about 15mm high.
The idea is that I then want to embedd rae earth magnets in the rotor, at an angle, and hopefully when you put a 240v current ac through the coils the rotor should spin in a particular direction due to the north south / south north effect of the coils
ie, this has to be very basic and i dont want to get too bogged down with control and stuff like that
IS this kind of setup likey to work or any clues where i can discover more about it
the reason I dont want to start trying to induce magnetic fields in the rotor is because of the difficulty of making it, and the weight of it
Any ideas anyone ?
Cheers
