Oh my gosh that little thing rummaging around the shop is so adorable. I used to see one of those around my ankles too. Mine turned into a teenager five years ago. She is still my little angel but I do miss those days.
PunchingMegaTree, I’ll have a beer with my precious little girl every once in a while now that she’s of drinking age and it’s weird for me because I still think of her as my little girl, she is the most amazing person I’ve ever known and I’m so proud of her. I hope I get to watch a little grandbaby rooting around the floor of a shop one of these years. The most amazing thing in the world is raising children. Nothing else in the world comes close.
I used a rpm meter years ago. When I used it indoors, it was inaccurate. When used outside in the sun, it was accurate. It was actually picking up the 60hz of the light indoors. Check yours and see if you find similar results indoor vs outdoor. A strobe-o-scope might be a better option.
Matthias, It is a pleasure to see a man that can babysit while the wife is away and get some work done in his shop at the same time. My son and daughter had to follow three very strict rules while growing up in my shop: (1) ONLY Hand Tools below the age of 3. (2) NO Portable power tools until after the age of 3. (3) NO Bench or Stationary tools until age 5. "Things with sharp teeth eat meat" -- "Power tools have sharp teeth" -- "People are made of meat".
You are the motor king! I have to say, as a former professional electrical mechanical troubleshooter of eleven years, your skill set is impressive. You always manage to figure things out and make a workaround no matter what you are dealt. I am like that in many ways as well, but I think currently in a much less knowledgeable capacity than you. I'm going to build a vacuum blower system for my shop, based off your designs in this and previous videos.
This morning I'll be starting a build on a crib for my daughter to be born in February. I'm really looking forward to having her in the shop with me in the coming years.
a quick google search shows a good amount of information on 'wet rotors'. Not exactly technical specs or anything but enough to get a basic understanding.
I assume filling it with water and plugging the holes, will lead to overheating due lack of change of water flow? So if one were to run it in optimal condition. one might need some way to change the water out consistently. Then again, the magnetic rotor and similar can be used to create DC with water streams or similar. Albeit not very good at getting started, the magnet will provide resistance which should increase the production output. Hence you use DC breaks on Windmills to get them running at optimal RPM to produce more Watt per rotation. If my Knowledge on Generators isn't a tad outdated. Most of my knowledge is about installing it and finding out the faults in them. Not making them into generators. But I do recall a Rotor with a magnet tends to be easier to turn into a Generator than one, that isn't.
Pond pumps, pet bowl pumps, many, many places. It's a great design. Wet stainless steel and glass fiber filled nylon bushings that form the case(In a pond, lubricated too by pond scum/algae:). Coil of wire potted in resin in the case. And they pretty much work forever so long as you clean them every so often.
it amazes me how u can take apart and basically engineer all kinds of new stuff ... i wish i had a teacher like u in school or like my frens dad or something ... would love to learn wat u do ... love ur dads shop too .... must have been a great growing up in such a productive environment ... love u channel mate !!keep it coming
I've recently fixed a few water pumps that had a similar mechanism... (fishtank pumps and a standalone water pump.) The entire impeller and shaft/magnet were in a wet environment, and the motor windings were enclosed in a waterproof housing.
Your little girl already shows signs of growing up with a great degree of mechanical aptitude! (My dad raised me that way.) There is no such thing as "no user-serviceable parts inside"! :-)
Ace Lightning i was brought up the same way, when something breaks, i usualy take it appart to find out whats inside and learn how it works. Unfortunatly, when my dishwasher broke, it was the pump that went, and the thing was not easy to get into. At a year old, i would have expected that dishwasher to still be in warrantee? Or do you not have such great support over in the USA
TheTechnosasquatch we have statutory rights here, which is 6 years on stuff like this for manufacturing faults. Too many people dont know that and dont understand what it means. Obvioisly if u abuse it, its not covered, but random failure is covered.
I've replaced a couple of dishwasher motors - usually you have to contact the manufacturer to get a replacement motor, and sometimes it's more expensive than seems reasonable. They'd rather sell you a whole new dishwasher instead of a simple part.
Kids are amazing and do things with a great amount of similarity. We watch my granddaughters during the day and my 1.7 year old sits on my workbench playing with safe tools, and also fills one bucket to the other and back again (as Harriet does). I have seen their similarity in Germany, Korea and Russia. Amazing little humans!
I love that every time Matthias gets to build a new blower, he gets more and more crappy materials he has laying to build one! that's what i call recycling to the fullest
Ich finde die Idee mit dem teilweise in Wasser versenkten Motor cool. Vor allem ist das Konzept interessant, dass der Motor 100% Prozent Wasserdicht ist, dadurch, dass die Welle nicht durchgesteckt werden muss.
Love your videos; you inspire and give me great ideas...Thank you. I was going to ask about the lubrication of this motor, but you answered it in your closing statement. Thanks again.
1. Cool. I also learned something new about motors. 2. Your kid playing on the counter is so adorable. I have a 2.5 years old kid (boy) and I can't imagine him playing so quietly alone for an hour (my assumption of the time it took you)
matthias ,i wish my dad had a workshop when i was a toddler,it is always cool to see that kids 'know' they're way around a shop! nice video again,so the moral is ,don't throw away stuff,take it apart and re use parts as you need them,as for the sheet metal on the dishwasher ,are you going to build a electric mini car and shape the body out of wood and metal.......that would be a cool series,i'll watch it!!!
I have a bunch of pumps from dishwashers and washing machines I've taken apart over the years. Many of the pump motors look like the one you have here, minus the electronics. Yours is the first I've seen with a controller in the rear. All the ones I've kept have a large coil that looks a lot like the ones you see on shaded pole motors so they keep trying to run as long as there's power applied. I'm guessing not only is this design for efficiency, but also for safety in case something gets stuck in the pump. Thank you for the video!
Interesting but I wish I understood more about electronics and motors. Maybe I keep watching more videos. Nice job but the "like" this time goes for your toddler for being so cute, and learn about tools at such an early age. :)
this is the same type of motor used in filters for fish tanks. their advantages are safe (because the moving part itself doesn't need a seal, so you don't need to worry about wearing on the seal at all) and super quiet (my 9W filter motor's noise level can't even be properly measured because it's lower than ambient noise). imo a more interesting way to salvage this type of motor is to make a small hydro-generator out of it. i'd certainly love to see Matt do that.
Maybe build an iris for the inlet closed with a solenoid powered by the starting current. Because a butterfly would be too easy. I have an old carb from a garage sale with an iris for the choke. Never could find out what it was used on.
As usual Matthias, your very interesting and informative experiments never cease to fascinate and entertain me. Keep up the good work, - I learn something new every time. Ed
10:21 When he unplugs the blower, it reminds me of when we were at my doctor, and the TV at my doctor was bothering me due to animated things, and I couldn't find the remote, so I unplugged the TV itself to get it to stop bothering me.
As for the wet rotor motors, there's a lot of information in manual for heating circulating pumps, for example Grundfos. All those pumps(motors) have wet rotor...
Dear Matthias, you have a typo in the description - in the link. I had to find the article manually, but that's not a big deal. Keep on the good work. Greetings from Poland. Kuba
I think it is great your daughter is willing to come and play wile you make things My son couldn't be bothered not even now that they are grown My father did to me what you do and those memories are my fondest memories of my father
Nice video as always! I remeber that this type of motor is use for pumps in fish tanks.( At least the pumps that I use are) just a simple design that can be submerged in water if the rest of the electronics are cast in some sort of epoxy.
Fun stuff Matt, loved seeing your helper in there too...that's awesome! BTW perpetual motion or free energy machines do work well if used properly; they seperate the gullible from their money by turning them into "investors".
That rotor is like what you'd fine on a water pump, like pumps for liquid cooling computer components in either open loop or closed loop cooling solutions.
Wet rotors are also used in all domestic central heating systems. Permanent magnet rotor type motors are more efficient than the usual shaded pole induction motors used previously.
They use something very similar in fish tanks Where you have an electric coils outside the tank and a magnetic impeller outside the tank. Also in X-Ray tubes there is a rotor that spins an anode. The rotor is inside a vacuum enclosure. The coils / electronics are outside the vacuum enclosure. These motors have several interesting uses in varying environments.
You suggest there is a choice induction or PM rotor. Actually the large air gap and wet rotor disqualify's an induction motor. The magnetic field in an induction motor is created by slippage, rotor speed is less then the magnetic field rotation speed. The rotor is a transformer with a very low frequency, slippage. the rotor current is the secondary induced current so the wire resistance and the moving of the field in the iron will create heat. And some current may flow in the water. Problem one is the transformer will be poor with a large air gap. The PM has a fixed rotor magnetic field. Second problem water has dissolved solids that will come out of solution in the heated water in the air gap. The motor would build up lime that will seize the motor rotor to the plastic can.
I've been cleaning a much smaller version of this type of motor in a fish tank filter for years... Never understood how it works till now! Thanks Matthias!
That motor is a proprietary motor for whilpool line products (possibly other manufacturers as well). That may be why you can't find anything on it. I fix 'em and see them all the time.
I repair this asko/askoll junk too, and now a Chinese version of the same thing..oh dear, a recipe for disaster eh.I could give you a tip I discovered years ago when these first arrived in the uk badged as Plaset. As you probably know, when the seals fail and they fill with foul water, the rotor bearings wear, the rotor starts to wobble, and because its a sort of shaded pole motor, once the air gap around the rotor is not equal and opposite all the way round, the rotor will not turn. With me so far!? Anyway, when this is the case, if you can pull the rotor out of its chamber, fill the chamber with half a teaspoon of cooking oil, replace the rotor and any associated parts and the motor will work like a dream for a good few months!And if your reading this Matthias, its probably better not to consider using these for any projects, they just aren't very good.
Read Mathias's reply again. He choose this only as an experiment. To both of you guys that repair these, if you watched the video to the end then you would see that he knows this and is EXPERIMENTING with it. It will fail in time, but that's in the fun.
If anyone's looking for a similar motor, it's a very common type that has been used in many dishwasher for at least the last 15 years or so. Whirpool, Kitchenaid, Bauknecht, Indesit, Hotpoint and IKEA are some of the brand names that almost all use this model pump. There are multiple variations of this pump, but in most cases it's just small design changes and upgrades over the years and in most cases they're all compatible (often the only difference is the plug). This also means if you're going to repair your somewhat older dishwasher that has a pump like this there's a good chance you can use a newer, more silent version of this pump.
I thought that was your Boss, [or shop Inspector] helping with those 'Special' things ~ It's not easy using big dust pans; More Fun digging in saw dust. ~ Teach Her well ! ~ U always Amaze me with your crafts ~ * peace
Oh my gosh that little thing rummaging around the shop is so adorable. I used to see one of those around my ankles too. Mine turned into a teenager five years ago. She is still my little angel but I do miss those days.
PunchingMegaTree, I’ll have a beer with my precious little girl every once in a while now that she’s of drinking age and it’s weird for me because I still think of her as my little girl, she is the most amazing person I’ve ever known and I’m so proud of her. I hope I get to watch a little grandbaby rooting around the floor of a shop one of these years.
The most amazing thing in the world is raising children. Nothing else in the world comes close.
The tracing you did with the washer is very clever. I learn every time I watch your videos. Thanks Matthias.
I used a rpm meter years ago. When I used it indoors, it was inaccurate. When used outside in the sun, it was accurate. It was actually picking up the 60hz of the light indoors. Check yours and see if you find similar results indoor vs outdoor.
A strobe-o-scope might be a better option.
Delighted to see your daughter in the shop. Never too early to expose them to tools and making things.
I'm really fascinated by your explanation of this machine, completely lost, but fascinated. please keep posting such interesting videos.
Matthias, It is a pleasure to see a man that can babysit while the wife is away and get some work done in his shop at the same time. My son and daughter had to follow three very strict rules while growing up in my shop: (1) ONLY Hand Tools below the age of 3. (2) NO Portable power tools until after the age of 3. (3) NO Bench or Stationary tools until age 5.
"Things with sharp teeth eat meat" -- "Power tools have sharp teeth" -- "People are made of meat".
You are the motor king! I have to say, as a former professional electrical mechanical troubleshooter of eleven years, your skill set is impressive. You always manage to figure things out and make a workaround no matter what you are dealt. I am like that in many ways as well, but I think currently in a much less knowledgeable capacity than you. I'm going to build a vacuum blower system for my shop, based off your designs in this and previous videos.
The wood shop teacher we all wanted and should of had in high school.
Maybe could have taught you English too, just saying.
It's really cool to see your kid hanging out in the shop.
This morning I'll be starting a build on a crib for my daughter to be born in February. I'm really looking forward to having her in the shop with me in the coming years.
This wet rotor is very common in submersible pumps for aquariums. Pretty much 100% of them.
And central heating circulating pumps,
a quick google search shows a good amount of information on 'wet rotors'. Not exactly technical specs or anything but enough to get a basic understanding.
and submersible pond pumps, equipped with ceramic bearings most of the time.
I assume filling it with water and plugging the holes, will lead to overheating due lack of change of water flow? So if one were to run it in optimal condition. one might need some way to change the water out consistently.
Then again, the magnetic rotor and similar can be used to create DC with water streams or similar.

Incredibly circle jig you used. Amazing that I didn't think of that sooner...
Loved the little one running around the shop.
Nice electrical engineering lecture there, Professor Wandel. And your new lab assistant is cute too.
I've recently fixed a few water pumps that had a similar mechanism... (fishtank pumps and a standalone water pump.) The entire impeller and shaft/magnet were in a wet environment, and the motor windings were enclosed in a waterproof housing.
Exactly what I wanted to see! Great to see how you salvage parts from other's scrap.
Much respect
Nice trick with the washer as a spacer to trace the width of the housing!
Matthias, interesting build. I must say, after watching your posts, I read all comments, as an added bonus.
Very nice cut where you marked and then just separated the wood, i like those
Your little girl already shows signs of growing up with a great degree of mechanical aptitude! (My dad raised me that way.) There is no such thing as "no user-serviceable parts inside"! :-)

Matthias is in Canada, but I imagine they opted out of getting an extended warranty for a better sale price.

Moving the sawdust from one bucket to another, fun !
Clever yet simple way to figure out if the balance is off and where the extra weight is
Kids are awesome aren't they? My daughter used to have her own set of tools she would play with while I was working on stuff.
Good to see you finally got yourself an apprentice!
Kids are amazing and do things with a great amount of similarity.

That washer on the pencil was genious! I need to remeber that one!
Never knew that type of motor existed!!! thanks to clear that up! learned something new!!! :)
Fascinating stuff, and your daughter made me laugh every time she was on camera.
I love the snippits of your helper
I've watched your channel for quite some time and I enjoy watching you manufacture things from pieces & parts!
Love the toddler running around! It's just like my shop!
I used to be an engineer on dishwashers (but not with the motors and pumps) so this was especially interesting.
Matthias, Love your scientific curiosity. You're a genius!
Your toddler is adorable!
I've seen those motors on newer fountain pumps. I didn't know what they were at the time, but that is some pretty interesting technology
They grow so fast. I remember your daughter when she was really little
matthias ,i wish my dad had a workshop when i was a toddler,it is always cool to see that kids 'know' they're way around a shop! nice video again,so the moral is ,don't throw away stuff,take it apart and re use parts as you need them,as for the sheet metal on the dishwasher ,are you going to build a electric mini car and shape the body out of wood and metal.......that would be a cool series,i'll watch it!!!

Thank you for the video!
sounds like the bearings are hydro-dynamic bearings. if they are they won't last for long in this setup. awesome video as always! thanks
Diresta has a cat, Matthias has a daughter. They're both cute and add charm to your videos!
Interesting but I wish I understood more about electronics and motors. Maybe I keep watching more videos. Nice job but the "like" this time goes for your toddler for being so cute, and learn about tools at such an early age. :)

So, you Need to pull the choke to get the motor to start? Sounds kind familiar
ha ha, hadn't thought of it that way!
Maybe build an iris for the inlet closed with a solenoid powered by the starting current. Because a butterfly would be too easy. I have an old carb from a garage sale with an iris for the choke. Never could find out what it was used on.
Your motor reflexes are good...
Woow Matthias your a practical Genius!!! I admire your videos and your work. Congratulation from Mexico.
That toddler is adorable.
Aren't perpetual energy machines powered by negative comments on UA-cam????
if that were the case, they'd have lots of power! Or maybe just negative power. That's probably it!
Matthias Wandel IIRC, "traditional" wormholes need negative energy to keep the mouth stable.... you might be onto something huge! 😂
I'm fascinated by your ability to reverse engineer anything. Next up, Women.
Electrons carry negative energy.
No, they have a negative charge.
Love the way your kid is helping you tidy up ;-)
Helpful toddler in the shop, best video ever!
As usual Matthias, your very interesting and informative experiments never cease to fascinate and entertain me. Keep up the good work, - I learn something new every time. Ed
10:21 When he unplugs the blower, it reminds me of when we were at my doctor, and the TV at my doctor was bothering me due to animated things, and I couldn't find the remote, so I unplugged the TV itself to get it to stop bothering me.
Haha... you went through the trouble of cutting those notches at 4:30 just to avoid a nasty pocket-hole encounter! Very sneaky...
Your videos age like fine wine.
I'm assuming anyway... I've never actually had fine wine.
Wet rotors are common in refrigeration compressors. They typically have to circulate refrigerant and oil mixed to keep them lubricated.
As for the wet rotor motors, there's a lot of information in manual for heating circulating pumps, for example Grundfos. All those pumps(motors) have wet rotor...
This motor is made by an Italian company called Askoll. They make energy efficient motors and electric mopeds and bikes.
Little shop helpers are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Matthias, you have a typo in the description - in the link. I had to find the article manually, but that's not a big deal. Keep on the good work. Greetings from Poland. Kuba
fixed now
That pump can give you free energy by spinning that magnet. Check out gerard morins videos otherwise.
Very interesting video. I like your investigation of why the motor was made the way it is.
This reminds me of a an aquarium filter impeller. Water lubricates the rotor in that case too.
I think it is great your daughter is willing to come and play wile you make things
My son couldn't be bothered not even now that they are grown
My father did to me what you do and those memories are my fondest memories of my father
This explains the chugging noise my dishwasher makes as it finishes draining.
Maybe you could compile some tips and tricks and do one of those top ten videos. I wouldnt have thought of a washer as a spacing
Thanks , now I know what to do with my old dishwasher . Great video.
Nice video as always! I remeber that this type of motor is use for pumps in fish tanks.( At least the pumps that I use are) just a simple design that can be submerged in water if the rest of the electronics are cast in some sort of epoxy.
You might be really good at what you're doing
But your daughter is definitely finding the cure for cancer
you can get those motors in aquarium bucket filters, pretty much with comparable sizes
Fun stuff Matt, loved seeing your helper in there too...that's awesome! BTW perpetual motion or free energy machines do work well if used properly; they seperate the gullible from their money by turning them into "investors".
The motor resembles one of those aquarium filter water pumps which are built almost the same way.
no wonder your shop stay so clean
Also called a canned pump. Rotor/impeller is in liquid and the stator is dry. Very handy when pumping liquid Chlorine.
very interesting. I've seen this kind of motor in submersible water pumps for hydroponics and water features.
Hahaha...its just a happy scene to see your little kids around. Be always sure to keep them SAFE when youre working...😁😀
Super interesting stuff! And really glad to see that motor come in handy, weird as it is... Thanks for the vid!
Nice job, great helper!
That rotor is like what you'd fine on a water pump, like pumps for liquid cooling computer components in either open loop or closed loop cooling solutions.
@1:56 "well, I guess that would have just screwed right off. Whoops!"
pretty much the story of me and every thing I have broken to disassemble!
The water is also a cooling method so the motor doesn't overheat. Most circulator pumps are wet rotor.
Wet rotors are also used in all domestic central heating systems. Permanent magnet rotor type motors are more efficient than the usual shaded pole induction motors used previously.
Very informative. I really enjoy watching these experiments
They use something very similar in fish tanks Where you have an electric coils outside the tank and a magnetic impeller outside the tank. Also in X-Ray tubes there is a rotor that spins an anode. The rotor is inside a vacuum enclosure. The coils / electronics are outside the vacuum enclosure. These motors have several interesting uses in varying environments.
Nice shot of the bipedal dust collector. Just need to improve it's efficiency.
You are very talented
Your apprentice seems quite industrious.
These motors are basically a larger version of what they use in pretty well every fish tank pump made
You suggest there is a choice induction or PM rotor. Actually the large air gap and wet rotor disqualify's an induction motor.

Second problem water has dissolved solids that will come out of solution in the heated water in the air gap. The motor would build up lime that will seize the motor rotor to the plastic can.
Can someone explain the rating of the motor? If it's 120Vac and 0.9A, shouldn't it be 108W instead of 55W?
Look up "power factor"
I've been cleaning a much smaller version of this type of motor in a fish tank filter for years... Never understood how it works till now! Thanks Matthias!
Love all your videos, you are a very clever man.
YOU´RE BEST MATTHIAS !!
Lovely new dust collector....
That motor is a proprietary motor for whilpool line products (possibly other manufacturers as well). That may be why you can't find anything on it. I fix 'em and see them all the time.
I wasn't looking for anything on *this* motor, but this *type* of motor
I repair this asko/askoll junk too, and now a Chinese version of the same thing..oh dear, a recipe for disaster eh.I could give you a tip I discovered years ago when these first arrived in the uk badged as Plaset. As you probably know, when the seals fail and they fill with foul water, the rotor bearings wear, the rotor starts to wobble, and because its a sort of shaded pole motor, once the air gap around the rotor is not equal and opposite all the way round, the rotor will not turn.

Did you grow up in your father's workshop like your daughter is in your's? What a wonderful opportunity for your children.
The little helper is back :D
Lots of other neat parts to save on that dishwasher, springs, wheels, rollers....
