Yes, but there is no load. Its like picking up nothing vs picking up a tv, you would run out of torque to pick up the tv but not the nothing because there is nothing to lift
You would get higher speeds just by lubricating the gears with a silicone spray. You could do a before and after run to see how large the improvement is.
Cool But did you think of using bearings for gears ? You already use non printed axels Bearings can significantly reduce friction between gears and axels, resulting in much higher resulting speed. Also bearings will help with precision which will help to reduce friction between gears and will not let them wobble (this is frictions losses too) And if you mad enough you can end up using ceramic bearing instead of usual ones, which do not need grease and have extremely low friction. This will give you the best result, but using ceramic bearings will be very costly in comparison to usual bearings
I built a 3d printed fidget spinner that used ceramic bearings and had a steel outer ring for maximum rotating mass. Best hand spin was a little over 7 minutes. Ceramic bearings are next level
Add a weight wheel so you can accelerate slowly but with little increment of torque. The spinning torque will be kept by the momentum of the heavy wheel, so you can add more gears if torque is the problem
The key is, for that 35,000 rpm motor on Amazon, that rating is given with ZERO load. (And that motor is probably not strong enough to sustain that RPM with a load) So potentially a 2:1 gear ratio attached to it might have such a load as to reduce the motor speed by half, thereby only maintaining 35,000 on the output side of this 2:1 gear ratio.
I would also consider teeth design, I recall another creator finding herringbone gears handling the friction problem a lot better when it comes to 3D printing.
@@fss1704PWM isn't magic, if it's a 350 watt motor and you run it at 100% duty cycle you're still going to saturate whatever the power supply limit is. Judging by the thin gauge of the wires connecting to the PWM controller as compared to the motor, yeah he's definitely running out of current
a got a few questions: - why not adding bearings? - why not adding lubrication? - why not furthermore decrease mechanical tolerances? its seems to have a huge amount of play - why not improve on the gearteeth design?
Hey, just a thought, you could try to use magnetic gears to avoid friction, plus put gears on a special high speed ballbearings. Eventually, the speed is limited by the material strength, at some point the gear will self destruct by the centrifugal force, so maybe the last gear could be made from metal. Theoretically, few houndreds thouthands PRM could be reacheble
The motor isn't stalling. The power supply is being overloaded. Assuming that 350 W motor runs from 24 V, you'll need a 15 A power supply. That one you showed doesn't look like it could do mote than 2!
I am pursuing an internal combustion engine development career. I think that a simple $100 harbor freight 212cc engine could have enough torque to get 100k rpm
The motor is *_not_* going to suddenly "stall" as the power continues to be increased (unless it burns out). Instead, it would simply reach a maximum speed. Probably you reached the current (or temperature) limit of your supply's regulator (or maybe the speed controller), and it shut off it's output to prevent damage, until the load was disconnected (or the semiconductor device cooled down). You can check this with a voltmeter across the motor wires.
I was thinking the same thing! Brushed DC motors like the one he showed don’t “stall” since they’re mechanically commutated (they can stall but not in the same way as BLDCs, like the guy in the video is describing)
Maybe use bearings, the friction due to vibration might be really affecting the rotation of the last gear, I could be wrong cause I’m not an engineer 🤷♂️
For speeds like that, ball bearings with the proper C value will be a game changer, every C value is for a particular rotation speed. This will enable you to stop the gears from rubbing and shifting back and forward on the axle. I use C3 barrings up to 20k rpm. Above, you would probably need type C4.
If you really wanted high RPM he could get a Castle Creations brushless 7700kv motor when you run it on 4S or 16.8 volts full charge you should get just about 100,000 RPM and you could put bearings in between the shaft and the gears, also adding grease you could probably geared up two to three times skit about 200,000 to 400,000RPM The RPM and gear ratio was a estimate but the motor should be able to run the high of RPM and don't run it for too long or the motor might heat up
Some big improvements can be made to be honest. First of all bearings would decrease a lot of friction. The second is to use as little gears as possible. There is energy loss in every gear connection you make. Rather use two gears with hughe size difference than 5 in a row. Third every motor has a rpm range that delivers the best performance, depending on the motor type this range can vary but in most electrical motors this range is actually at low rpm.
I don't know about using gears that are as little as possible. That doesn't seem like a sound idea. But yeah, he should try to find some print files with helical gears in them instead of spur gears. Why use spur gears when you could use helicals? 🤷🏻♂️
the large pivots are a high point of friction. make them a lot smaller, or place the gears on bearings. i think the limit for speed will be when one of the gears flys apart.
Also worth noting that the torque is reduced due to the multiplication, its always a trade off, multiply torque/ruduce speed or multiply speed/reduce torque
Your wires feeding your motor are way too small! You're not getting near the output the motor is capable of. The leads coming from the motor are designed to be connected directly to an ESC. If you need to extend these wires you have to run a heavier gauge. In your case you have a smaller gauge wire running to the bigger wires from the motor, no bueno! BTW if you're really trying to get insane rpms you either need to run bearings or tight tolerance lubricated bushings. The motor didn't stall when you fed more power, you had runaway thermal impedance in that tiny wire you're feeding the motor with, I'm surprised it didn't catch on fire!
How many watts is that power supply. Does look like it can output greater than 350w. Also makes the setup with less parts. And get some needle rolling bearings
What if we implemented this design into vehicles? Would it result in less fuel consumption if the motors are spinning slower gears but putting out a faster rotation?
that's already implemented with those 10 speed gearboxes that are becoming sorta common nowadays. at the cost of stressing the bleep out of the engine, you could theoretically have your engine sitting at idling rpm while driving at 60mph on the highway.
forgot to mention it does impact fuel consumption in a good way, because in a nutshell lower rpm equals lower fuel consumption... theoretically. im not a motor wagon fixer person
I think if you put a weight on the last gear it would act like a fly wheel but would take longer to accelerate but also would make it smother and probably turn longer
Incase you overcome your friction loss issues: Depending on the radius, a 100k rpm shaft speed could cause the gear teeth to exceed the speed of sound.
the plug you used to power that motor i guarantee wasn't enough amps I've used those motors they take a lot use 2 12 volt battery's to power the motor and it should reach 100k rpm that power brick can at most give 3 amps of power and that motor uses 14 amps under load
Yes but if you setup the drive wheel to give power to 6 other wheels in a Hex configuration around it could you get each one to make enough power to the drive wheel and a bit more?
Try using some bearings next time. That way the force of friction will be reduced to a minimum, may achieve a higher rpm that can be sustained. This will also increase the efficiency of the system.
I bet it would spin so much smoother if you bored out the smaller gears and used a brass sleeve bearing instead of plastic, the heat being produced even oiled would be the major problem
I think I have an idea to make it gearbox spin fast, so what is of course you start with a big gear and you know attached to a small gear simple, instead of adding a bigger gear to the small gear to the small gear. How about you add a small gear to it that has more teeth and then have a smaller for that gear(with less teeth of course), I hope you get the point
Isn't the torque of DC motors directly connected to their speed (input voltage)? Wouldn't an ac motor be better suited for this type of application? That way you get max torque even at lower speeds in order to fight that high torque?
Love the video. Would it help to add wheel bearings (e.g., 608 bearing) to reduce friction from the axle. Also, I would be super grateful if you may please let me know how I may get the STL/other 3D printing files for your gear designs. Thank you!
very interesting video! thanks a lot for all your videos! I have one question. with no gears the motor spins with 3300 rpm , and with the load of the gears at the end it spins with 3482 rpm? Am i missing something?

for the axles, next time freeze them and then tap them in, then let them seat as they come up to temp

So with 43 525 RPM and finally gear with rayon to 2cm we have ((43525(2pi))/100)*60*3.6 ≈ 590 000 km/h ≈ 367 000 mph ≈ 1/500 of celerity.
you can also calculate the speed of movement of the extreme point on the last gear, and estimate how close you are to the speed of light o_O
