the new $20 harbor freight trash they are using in those videos is like I posted lol
ofc it seems easy to just use the drill itself but meh... lowers the quality (if any) a lot
Both of those are brushed btw
green thingy points to communicator on motor
oh... cannot tell where the brushes in the first one
I think they are part of that white thingy
they appear to be at.. 90 degrees to each other? okkkk..
Anyway, you basically need a lathe or some real DIY skills to be able to reproduce a housing when its those 'motor doesn't even have its own brush mount/bearing mount' style
you could slice up the drill housing to remove the handle/trigger
but that is bascially it lol
since already the plastic housing is gona be rather 'compact'
If you chop the handle off, there is not much 'non motor' here besides the chuck
(and you prob want the RPM reduction from the gears)
that would work I guess
I mean I don't see it that hard to put the motor in a custom enclosure but I guess it works for the video
I mean I doubt the purpose of the vid is other than just showing "hey, it's possible"
if you where gonna make a custom enclosure, you'd prob have the skills to go "hey wait, this is stupid when I could just get a motor with an actual mounting system like, bolt holes, or a mounting plate"
"or is actually round so I can make some nice clamping system"
nah that's consumerism
:AnimeSmile:
So what would be the best repurposed motor for a bike ? I've heard of car alternators
plus the problem with making a housing for some rando drill is... part fails, now what?
you prob gotta throw it out and make a new housing for some other drill.
Best meaning a good speed and tourwue
might as well just spend 3 minutes making this:
and just going 'fuck it'
then if it fails and you gotta toss it out to mount a new drill, no big loss
that's fair
I remember trying to make a chainsaw motor for my bike and the sprocket came flying off like a shuriken
The sprocket of the chainsaw
@Grey Earths I mean, you 'could' do everything some super fancy way, but then your just making tools to make tools to make tools without ever getting anything actually done üòõ
(been there done that)
Hey , that's how we got this far !!!
Tools to make tools to make tools!
No, tools to make tools to make things. Once your making tools to make tools to make tools your just masterbating.
Tools to make tools to make things , that sounds better
I just realized something
I might just be a wanker but
Can't everything in existence be considered a tool in one way or another
Such as a bike , a cardboard box
And can't all tools be considered things ?
A toy even, a tool to stimulate mind
No need to get into this is not a philosophical page lol

low torque imo
maybe a washing machine motor?
Car alternators are designed to operate around 10,000RPM from what I can tell, lol
no nvm, chatGPT says washing machines have even lower torque than alternators
So meaning it will be extremely powerful
I think I seen an example online
@Grey Earths Direct drive washing machine. prob.
yes thats a hand on the left
Problem is of course, lack of enclosure means the magnets are going to suck up every bit of magnetic road dust kicked up by your tires
If unsealed, air ventilated e-bike motors could sanely exist (ie, survive for 10% of the lifetime of the more expensive alternative), china would already be selling them for $100 less then the sealed ones.
That thing looks huge tho
The fact china isn't already trying to rip people off by selling them on aliexpress just shows what a horrible idea it is.
chu tellin me you can ride while picking-up coins from street that pay for the energy to recharge??????
/s if not obvious
man this chatGPT is amazing
goes nuts with anything you ask it to calculate
much better than my school teachers back in that time
dudes were like "you have a book, read the book"
chatGPT goes like "I AM the book"
Make sure u double check its work. It's good but not infallable
Yeah, ChatGPT is great, but it's also great at being wrong in full unrestrained confidence. lol
Often I'll ask it something complicated, get a response that looks good, and find that the response is actually total nonsense when I go to implement it in my work.
Like if I ask it to write Home Assistant automation code, it'll *look* correct, but it'll often just invent a function that does the thing I asked for, instead of going through the real steps required to do the thing I asked for.
maybe it has a better and updated home assistant SDK that does the thing exactly the way chatGPT says it works
:think:
wouldn't you think bots, SDKs and AIs aren't cousins
I'm gonna try in a few minutes with some crazy stuff based on kerbal space program videogame
just to see how crazy it goes with orbits
oops, just realized this ain't general, my apologize
AI is creepy
Except thats wrong lol
So its just like, oh you need 49.5nm... Well here is 197.7nm! ENJOY
Also, how is it calculating required nm if it doesn't have aerodynamics or rolling friction?
"should be sufficient to move 200lb" is the key
Not really.
It still gave you a number that it 'reasoned' would meet the requirement, then made calculations to create 4x that.
Like.. What?
is it calculating the force to move at 25km/h.. straight up?
?sim
https://www.ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html
https://ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html?throt=58&hp=0 says 8.3nm for 220lbs at 24.5kph
So not only did it get it wrong..
it got it wrong by an order of magnitude
Granted, that 8.3nm is steady-state, so you'd want more for reasonable acceleration to that cruising speed. The initially quoted 49.5nm is totally reasonable for an okay-spec ebike.
But then it moves on to trying to create 200nm, which is motorcycle territory I'm fairly sure.
Its not 'straight up' either, since you require 68nm to lift 220lbs up a 20 percent incline at just 15km/h
https://ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html?throt=100&hp=0&grade=20&batt=B5213_GA&cont=C40
But it was not asking what a 'reasonable amount of torque' to reach that was, it didn't ever in that math 'derate for reasonableness'
it just came up with some bullshit math that to someone who isn't looking or has a clue would 'accept'
Oh right, I forgot about that.
The question asked of it specifically cited 15nm as the desired output torque.
Seriously
Look at this
200lbs.. divided by.. gravity?
what
why... on earth.. would you ever divide a mass by gravity?
