Fun Research

At some point I want to start doing youtube videos, this is a list of fun research/prototype projects.

Magnetic Cores

Test materials as magnetic cores.

Part 1

Set up a test rig to inspect permeability and hysteresis without an oscilloscope.

Part 2

Test a bunch of materials

Part 3

Make transformers from the most promising materials and test them

Part 4

Build a power supply from the best transformer material.

Motor

Using the magnet research build some motors.

• Brushed DC motor
• Induction motor
• BLDC

Materials

Test strength and deflection

• plywoods and composites
• (aluminum conduit, pvc, black pipe) X (empty, concrete, compressed concrete)
