A simple Transistor circuit running a brushless washing maching motor Part 1 

Glad you liked it! I'll be uploading a part 2 soon.

Thanks for the encouragement. This has been quite a break through for me and big push for me to go to the next phase of testing

+Darren Hoffer Sweet! im a domestic electrician so have a little understanding of what's going on, im only just diving into the world of electronics and coils ect myself, its been an interesting journey, have seen alot of promising videos of other people and their experiments, dreaming of my future off grid.

some 2nd-hand motors are for sale, online. at ebay / amazon. look for lg, samsung or whirlpool washer motor. www.fisherpaykeltechnologies.com/products/direct-drive-motors/

I thought these motors were closer to 310v. Perhaps rectified and smoothed AC mains which is then PWM'd with suitably sized MOSFET?

zenol leytan that's the plan. I am working on increasing the transistors power rating to increase voltage and then hooking up one set to each phase to maximize torque. After that I'll be putting it on a bicycle

cool, can;t wait to see that.

@@darrenhoffer4018 did you get your motor to work on your bike

You could use A voltage reducer/regulator circuit to bring down the voltage to the rating of any transistor you might currently have, or simply buy a new, high voltage transistor rated above 370v and at least 3 amp..The TIP152 is NPN transistor that's rated at 400v and 7 amp so I would start there. PNP transitors are harder to find. I found one at DigiKey rated at 400v, model # MJE5852GOS-ND. A simple search on google should help find more options. I hope this helps

Use Transmission power not ac or dc The secret is to use radio frequency of field energy and windings utilized as pick up atena then low amp/high voltage produces efficiency...... this kind of drum motor can provide 80 hp running on 400 volts and 4 amps Note how the trolls keep pointing back to low volts and high current of ac or dc

@@waldieschmidtke9630 Factory rating of these motors is a max of .9HP. And that is at 310 volts and about 3 amps and 1400 RPM. Other ones are rated at only .6 HP. None of them will run at 80HP.

I'm actually working on that as well. I have tried several different values of capacitors, and wired it in delta and y configurations but haven't made any progress yet, when I do I will be making a video to show what I find out. There have been others who have videos showing that it can be done, this is one that got me working on it... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kJQwrieXp9s.html Essentially a hard drive motor is that same thing only smaller...just google search "How To Run A HDD Motor Or Three Phase Motor From A Single Phase". I hope this helps.

Why would you be trying capacitors when you really need a 3 phase inverter? This is more like a brushless 3 phase quadcopter motor but uses a lot more power. The circuit in this video is nonsense, he's only running one phase. I want to get the 3 phase pancake style motors to run like the square ones do and I got a variable speed drive but it won't run the pancake motor for some reason. I can spin it by hand but when I connect the VSD it just locks up and won't spin. Maybe some of the settings in the VSD are not correct but I've tried a lot of different settings and can't get it to run.

use ALL Three PHASES, that's how.

You are absolutely correct, in my next video I'm going to show some attempts at using the other coils to get more torque. What I came to conclusion is just what you said,adding a circuit to each one is the easiest way to maximize the power. Stay tuned, I'll be finished editing it and upload it in a couple days.

wonderful to hear! look forward to seeing it!

'INVERTER' ?????? this is a DC motor. 3-PHASE BLDC. it needs a suitable BLDC driver/controller. cheers illustration of a Multi-pole 3-phase stator lgechupacabra.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/standard-wire.gif

@@daviddavids2884 BLDC is controlled by inverter, isnt it?

@@rapbalance N O. DC; a bldc DRIVER. sequential, 3-way PWM. see the brushless escs used in hobbies. verysmart.ch/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/BLDCmotorcontroller.jpg

@@rapbalance the description of BLDC operation in the wikipedia article NOT correct.

@@daviddavids2884 isnt that what the inverter does? sequential 3 phase PWM.

What about 2nd phase? It's not hooked up neither. What exactly is causing the clicking noise? It's unbearable.

No that's just how it appears in the video
