How It Works
Reed Switch Motor
Transistor Based Motor
Kit #5: Reed Switch Motor With Transistor
This home page features award-winning, easy-to-build, and inexpensive electric
motors.
If you are looking for a simple science project, or if you wish to learn
about electricity, magnetism, and electric motors, this web site has it all!
Including assembly instructions, a section devoted to how these motors work, and
I even provide all parts necessary to build them! The reed switch motor is the
easiest electric motor anyone can build.
These brushless DC motors represent my 3 year school science project. All of
them are extremely simple, and at the same time very stable, reliable, and
efficient.
Time has passed since 1999 when this site was
originally published. My son Stan is pursuing other interests and does
not continue this project anymore. However, the business is still fully
operational.
We tried to preserve the
original information on this site but also added a lot of additional
motors, parts, project CD, etc. with easy to understand explanations and
easy to follow instructions.
We will always try to do our
best to keep all of our customers happy.
Serge Pozmantir
The motors shown on this page were widely used for educational purposes in
different schools and colleges in the United States and other countries. The
kits listed here helped the students to learn basics of electricity, magnetism,
and electronics. Many people successfully built these motors using simple and
clear instructions that were first published in May 1999.
My science fair project was very successful. In 1998-2000 this project won
various awards, including:
Grand Prize at Dallas Regional Science Fair in 2000 (Senior
division) and 1999 (Junior division).
Outstanding Achievement in Research and Presentation of Engineering
Knowledge Award from Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers at the 2000
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair at Detroit.
1st place in the Engineering Category and 2nd place
in the Physical Science Division at Texas Junior Academy of Science in
2000.
The full list of awards and a brief description of my project is shown at About Myself / My Project
