i tore apart an old eureka vacuum cleaner and took out the 12 amp motor i had it run several times and one last full run. then a full process of the inside of this motor 27000 RPM i just had to combine all the videos on my camcorder because windows movie maker don’t support HD videos yet. any questions, comment enjoy
dude, why take it apart? that can be ur knex thunderbolt blower!!!
i took it apart because when i thought it was recordin, which it wasn’t the wire that was powering the motor fell into the connutator and burnt the whole motor
don’t worry, i’l trash pick another vacuum cleaner
do you think i can make a go kart out of it
@daymoney13 i’m sure you can make a go kart probally need several motors
hey there, i really appreciate if you tell me how can i separate blower from motor.
the reason im asking is that i have a uni project related to it.
i tried but the blower is connected to motor shaft in a way that it spins when i try to unscrew it.what should i do?
tnx
@mhirantehran most vacuum cleaners motors have a nut holding the impeller to the rotor, if its different, it maybe one of those when the impeller is screwed onto the rotor, if that don’t work, show me my uploading a video, like describing the motor, where its from
my motor looks pretty much same, i try to upload a video or something , anyways on 2:00 min when you added a quotation ” i made it loos befor i started recording” how did you made that loos? this is my problem …
@mhirantehran i use a wrench i’m not sure what size and you do have to use a lot of force, it took me a while to get that loose, thats why i cut that part out. once you get that off, it should just pop out easily. when i do trash pick another vacuum, i can do the same thing i did with this
ok, but when i use wrench it spins with shaft , i tried to hold that silver plate and stop it from moving and even i hold the shaft from inside , but it still spin when i want to unscrew it, its just driving me crazy, how can i open that up?
@mhirantehran most vacs are reverse thread. put a vice grip on the shaft end and use a socket wrench to remove the nut.
I opened up 2 old broken vacs today and found 2 1500 watt motors , the problem was the bearings holding the rotors. I think they are very practical , you could use 1 for an electric bike instead of spending lots of cash for a motor that is even bigger and less powerful
@hootergirlsrhot well I think you can get 2 powerful motors from more new vacs and put them on the back wheels … i think a combined power of 3000-4000 watts is more than enough to get you goin like 20-25 mph.
Actually a friend of mine built a go-kart with a 2hp engine and it topped out at 15mph 10 degrees uphill (i mean going up a small hill) , but it was poorly engineered , lots of power losses , and the weight was 400+ lbs with the driver
