    motor problem.

    Got given a Car battery via a facebook shout out. The motor works fine. Really good to have this battery as a back up and to help rule out a bad power supply or load. Thanks all for your help Darren

    Ahhhh I get it now. Yes, stuffy alloofness is a right load of nonesense. BRAIIIIN power indeed. For a newbie like me it's staggering to imagine what I don't know when trying to get my head around some of the topics on here. Darren

    I can't understand if you are being comical or not. I don't know what stuffy is. best darren

    motor problem.

    For sure MInder, I thought as much. What I'm working on requires low torque but some other plans will require higher, but again I'll double check the maths with you guys when I need, just started learning algebra so should be able to understand more and not rely so much. And to be fair, I can...

    It's fine man. Just thought we were discussing. I have a problem in that I take things literally so that maybe where the communication broke down. Or more that I can't read humour, sarcasm very well at all. I'd love to try wood turning at some point. Darren

    motor problem.

    Will do Edd. Thankyou. Do people here think 12v at 10a will suffice, or is more ampage needed?

    motor problem.

    They see it as a fire risk, something about not being able to safety test it or somert, I gave up trying to convince them otherwise. Actually when I've used battery arrays of 9v's they haven't moaned. Maybe I'll approach it again. I've just found I have a PWM controller in my "to be used box"...

    motor problem.

    In terms of getting the motor initially running, does it need more power initially? the spec for the motor suggest 120w which is 12v x10a. So is it the initial start up for the motor that has potentially ruined the power supply?

    the intitial thread for this motor when I was asking for help is here. https://www.electronicspoint.com/threads/wiper-motor-wiring.280624/page-2#post-1708505

    motor problem.

    I guess I've got to try it on a suitable power supply first. I would try the car battery but It's for a kkinetic sculpture for an exhibitio and I know they won't be happy about a car battery being used (I've come accross this before)... it would be ideal to be able to use a power supply. Even if...

    motor problem.

    Oh ok. Actually I think I see what has happened. I had two 12v supplies, one rated 10amps the other the 1.5amp. I have this tendency to pick up any old power supply just in case. The 12v at 10a wasn't giving me an output so I assumed it was a dud from a car boot. Now I think what has happened is...

    Each to there own individual ethics I guess. I've tried to address with what you guys have said but you've both just skirted around the subject. Which implies to me we just don't agree. Eh well.

    mehhhh well we can all cherry pick examples to make a point. It doesn't make generalisations any less divisive though.

    Harrrr, I'd find that funny, apart from the chimps being exploited. Mehhhh, find myself defending art here but in general it pisses me off. However some of my favourite critical thinkers, activists, philosophers all make art. There's a generalisation that comes with art i that it isn't...

    motor problem.

    Oh I tried to run it off my bench power supply also but it triggered the current limit at around 1.5v. My bench supply runs up to 30v at 5 amps.

    motor problem.

    Hi mate. The brushes both looked Ok to me, but I'll double check here with photos tomorrow. I'm powering it from a 12v 1.5a power supply. I'll have a look inside tomorrow properly, there was all kinds of orange (didn't look like rust though) grub in there.

    motor problem.

    Simply I can't get it to work. When I continuity test across it's lugs it shorts. disconnect one wire and it shorts across the brushes. I'm unsure if this is normal. It's a Parvalux some of you helped me get a correct power supply for a couple of years back. Spec: dc 24v. amps 8. 120w. rpm 2800...

    That's quite a rule you've set yourself their Cddrive. There wouldn't have been an apartheid movement without music and art as a means to mass a people based revolution.
