I take a vacuum apart and show examples of the parts being used for various shop tools.Then, I show and talk about other motors such as AC vs DC motors. Finally, I briefly show ways you can test and use these motors in homemade machines. This video is an overview, but I am happy to answer questions if you have any below.

belt sander,
disc sander.

  1. Have you been able to,or would consider using electric wheelchair motors and transmissions for a project? I have one but don’t have the experience to figure it out. Thanks

  2. Thanks for your channel! You are as gifted a teacher as you are an engineer and builder. Instant subscribe!

  3. How do you know you’re not overloading one of your home made machines with too much power, potentially starting a fire and burning your whole house down?

  4. I love your old videos they’re so awesome. Now it’s insane the way you made the cyclone vacuum. I seen a million and one different ways to make them here. I even try to make one once. I used a bucket with a traffic cone , but it Was a huge fail. The cone would collapse and stop working.

  5. Those fans be overheating because of lack of air resistance, amps go up and up.

  6. I took apart a vacuum cleaner and managed to salvage a whole bunch of parts from it. Then I used those parts to make this thing that can help suck up some of the dirt and stuff from my carpets. I think I'll call it a dirt sucker or a carpet muncher or something.

  7. From the thumbnail, I thought you made a really badass energy based plasma gun.

    But it was just a vacuum…

  8. Great content and wise choice of music. Fun but not distracting. Best of luck with your channel.

  9. This is real recycling. Thank you for spreading the word that people should be recycling more stuff instead of throwing everything out

  10. For 10 years my wife has laughed at my curiosity for negative pressure and vacuum cleaners. For the last 10 years, I have repair helicopters with fabric and epoxy using negative air pressure and heat. I love a vacuum.

  11. Sorry for my rudeness on my previous comment, this was a great video and found it informative and not at all cringe worthy. I say the with the utmost respect because most people that make videos for you tube are d-bags. I’ve never commented or asked a question on you tube before but I really understood the way you explained things and you were easy to follow and also you didn’t bullshit us and find things out as you go then reshoot to seem like an expert. So thanks for being real and speaking at a level that a novice could easily follow

  12. I recently found a discarded Tineco cordless stick back. The canister bottom was missing as well as any attachments so it was worthless as a vacume but the battery and motor function perfectly. Any tips on how I can (without buying a new battery charger) charge the lithium battery safely? I would love to find a way to use this perfect motor but I’ve got maybe 1/4 of the battery left. Could I modify a dewalt battery charger possibly? I’ve got 3 and could spare 1 for the project.

  13. On those vacuum motors that get hot, could you just pull the blade assembly off one of those fans and mount it to the shaft that’s sticking out the back of the motor? That way the motor could cool itself, right?

  14. Good to know you have abit of knowledge behind all this madness. Time wise and for experimentation wise might not be ideal for me. But ? for the passion you have

  15. 10:00 capacitor start motors; the cap is in series with the START winding, and after about 0.25 seconds, is switched out of the circuit, (centrifugal switch on one end of the rotor shaft, usually always on the opposite end of the driving end) and then the RUN winding takes the power, for rotational force/torque for ongoing operation.

  16. SIR, all vacuum motors are designed for moving massive amounts of air. Not for 'driving' a real mass at any speed. Only the air offering the atmospheric pressure against it, 14 pounds /square inch. Not enough 'torque' for driving a 'mass' with inertia, and added load of whatever it is cutting/drilling/sawing/grinding/sanding….etdc.
