The DC Motor Principle and How it works? Video


An educational video regarding the DC Motor Principle and video demonstration illustrates How it works?

DC motors - how is it made? How it works?
In this video, i break apart DC motor model and then i rebuilt it from a scratch, to explain how a DC motor is made. This video is part of the theory "How DC Motors Work.



DC Motor
A direct current (DC) motor is a fairly simple electric motor that uses electricity and a magnetic field to produce torque, which turns the motor. At its most simple, a DC motor requires two magnets of opposite polarity and an electric coil, which acts as an electromagnet. The repellent and attractive electromagnetic forces of the magnets provide the torque that causes the DC motor to turn.
If you've ever played with magnets, you know that they are polarized, with a positive and a negative side. The attraction between opposite poles and the repulsion of similar poles can easily be felt, even with relatively weak magnets. A DC motor uses these properties to convert electricity into motion. As the magnets within the DC motor attract and repel one another, the motor turns.
A DC motor requires at least one electromagnet. This electromagnet switches the current flow as the motor turns, changing its polarity to keep the motor running. The other magnet or magnets can either be permanent magnets or other electromagnets. Often, the electromagnet is located in the center of the motor and turns within the permanent magnets, but this arrangement is not necessary.
To imagine a simple DC motor, think of a wheel divided into two halves between two magnets. The wheel of the DC motor in this example is the electromagnet. The two outer magnets are permanent, one positive and one negative. For this example, let us assume that the left magnet is negatively charged and the right magnet is positively charged. Electrical current is supplied to the coils of wire on the wheel within the DC motor. This electrical current causes a magnetic force. To make the DC motor turn, the wheel must have be negatively charged on the side with the negative permanent magnet and positively charged on the side with the permanent positive magnet. Because like charges repel and opposite charges attract, the wheel will turn so that its negative side rolls around to the right, where the positive permanent magnet is, and the wheel's positive side will roll to the left, where the negative permanent magnet is. The magnetic force causes the wheel to turn, and this motion can be used to do work.
When the sides of the wheel reach the place of strongest attraction, the electric current is switched, making the wheel change polarity. The side that was positive becomes negative, and the side that was negative becomes positive.
The magnetic forces are out of alignment again, and the wheel keeps rotating. As the DC motor spins, it continually changes the flow of electricity to the inner wheel, so the magnetic forces continue to cause the wheel to rotate.
DC motors are used for a variety of purposes, including electric razors, electric car windows, and remote control cars. The simple design and reliability of a DC motor makes it a good choice for many different uses, as well as a fascinating way to study the effects of magnetic fields

AC Electronic Motors
AC electronic motorsAC electronic motors are synchronous motors based on the principle of frequency control with self-timing. The essence of the principle is to control the stator's magnetic field vector according to the rotor position.Such motors are sometimes called commutatorless DC motors as the controller of such motor is usually powered from DC voltage while its rotor speed depends on supply voltage.So we can see that such motor works as a direct current motor. Its design is similar to that of AC synchronous motor. Its magnetic rotor rotates in a stator with a three-phase winding. Supply voltage of the motor windings is formed in accordance with the rotor position.A commutator is used in DC motors for this purpose while AC electronic motors have a semiconductive commutator for that.The motor has the following operating principle. The controller commutates stator windings so that the stator's magnetic field vector is always perpendicular to the rotor's magnetic field vector.By using pulse-duration modulation the controller regulates current which flows through the windings. That means it regulates the stator's magnetic field vector and thus the moment affecting the rotor.The sign at the angle between the vectors determines direction of the moment affecting the rotor. Such motors were designed to improve properties of DC motors. Their main advantage is that they don't have rotary contacts. This significantly increases their lifespan. Such types of motors find various applications - from house appliances to rail transport.



  Electric Motors and Drives, Second Edition 
Written for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives, this book explains how electric drives work and compares the performance of the main systems, with many examples of applications. The author's approach - using a minimum of mathematics - has made this book equally popular as an outline for professionals and an introductory student text.

Operating an AC Three-Phase Induction Motor
This Demonstration illustrates the operation of an induction motor. You can create a voltage imbalance or a phase shift in the three-phase source. This will result in a change in speed of the rotor that represents a change in developed torque.
