    Thanks a lot for sharing this. I used same principal to balance fans on 2.5 MW generators (Leroy Somer), and tried to find this principle explanation, your video is great source!

      Matthias Wendell has similar examples on both of his UA-cam channels but this novel approach using a speaker as a transducer is my favorite ua-cam.com/video/hGGJYXjE5s0/v-deo.html

    Thank you very much for your video, also your english is for me very clear ( i'm not English or from States, i'm from Italy ... )
    I do appreciate the start line ( and it's trigger to the oscilloscope ) which is to be considered the zero angle of a 360 degrees revolution ... and the following position of the eccentric weight ...

    You should turn on averaging mode on the scope, it will make the oscillation easier to see at much lower levels

    I'd be interested to know about how other mounting design for this setup would compare. My understanding is that suspended carriages allow for more sensitive plane motions to be detected. However, the suspended systems seem unnecessarily complicated - instead you could stiffen the stands and allow the bearing mounting brackets to slide laterally on top of them within a limited range of motion and move the accelerometers onto the moving plane.

    Can i do the left and right side one by one, becourse i have only 2channel 100mhz oscilloscope or can i put both accelometers on one channel and the rmp counter for reference on the other chanel and it shoud work ? than i have onle to decide wice spike is from wich alleometer or i but the counter on one channel of the acellometers a better idear? sry for my bad english spelling i only can speak it good haha

    Nice setup. Can you provide a few more details on it?
    1. What accelerometer off ebay did you use? I see alot of the GY-61 ADXL335 analog output ones that have a theoretical max BW of 1600Hz, but that is with the smallest filter capacitor on the output, and I doubt a lot of those boards come like that? I think my particular motor maxes out below 1K RPM, so what sensor BW would I need for that? How do you figure that out exactly?
    2. What IR sensor board did you use?
    3. Is there anything special with your motor mount design to provide for vibration sensitivity and how the accelerometers are mounted? Are you attempting to float the axle mounts somewhat or something else?
    thanks!

    this is great setup but the motor cannot engage with the rotor in the center as that influences the forces, which prevents you from balancing correctly. you want to rotate through the axel (shaft)

      Check out USB oscilloscopes - essentially these devices are black boxes which take the inputs and connect to your laptop/PC via USB cable. These devices come with software and typically cost $60 - $80 - they are not as full featured as a proper bench oscilloscope 😢 but easily good enough to handle the outputs of the type suggested in the video🙂.

      The accelerometer has 1600hz range so it can detect speeds up to 96k RPM. For higher speeds you need something 2500hz range.

      @@iulian207 i was theoretically thinking about having DC motors that have very close anatomy to BLDC where the magnets move but still operate on DC battery power directly
      So i came up with a very realistically idea which is putting the brushes on the rotor wher they spin with it(the magnets or magnetic coils become the moving part)
      As for the comutator it will be sliced in half cross sectionally in order to split every commutator bar in half. The first half is always on the + and the second half only gets electricity when the brush passes over this specific commutator bar and closes the circuit
      Commutators and brushes are the carburators of electric motors and this method gets rid of the need of a complicated controllers, decreases the weight of the rotor because only the coils or magnets are turning and allows a dc motor with out runner and inrunner config
      Let me know if you would like me to share some details maybe images about the concept
