I made a simple generator out of this motor and a stationary bike. Friction connection to a flywheel of the bike with help od 3D printed bracket. 3 phases connected to a commercial rectifier like the one on the video. Then a boost converter (with potentiometer to set the resistance) and a 7S battery pack. It reaches over 200W but it requires a lot of force on the pedals. Better than wasting that energy to heat when exercising 😅

I freaking love how you break things down! I just did it with my son’s broken hoverboard. The only thing, I’m waiting for you to redo this vid so I can connect it to my 3d printed wind/water turbine! Love the vids!🫡

The Minecraft torches are beautiful 😊

Thank you for the time spent, for your efforts and for the knowledge! Always a great time for me, watching your videos.

i bought 4 of them at a thrift store. they can be used as generators, or as a driving motor in a kayak, a wind turbine generator, drive a bike, really big long board , or use it with a weed eater to make up a backup generator for batteries. i like the idea og using them on a tandem bike. its big enough for several batteries and solar panels.

Great project. Success or failure, I learn a lot from your videos.

I was looking at this hoverboard motor to use as a generator in which I intend to build a DIY battery for my solar energy storage and I was researching for the data that I need and you explained it correctly now I need the actual power ratings.

These motors are awesome i made 3 wheeler from these motors with 10" tire and 4x20ah agm batteries top speed is 37km/h and battery lasts around 35km on max power 👍👍 and weight is about 25kg and it can tow about 400kg

Clever project! I know when I go to the electronic recycling center its just an amazing amount of perfectly good parts that are being disposed of for whatever reason. Printers have some really fun bits. Also if you have an autowrecker nearby the sensors off the bumpers are very cheap and really fun. I'm thinking you have a robot ROS project in your future! You might consider a Savonius vertical windmill. You can 3D print the impellers and mount the motors in the vertical plane down at the base where you can also put the battery and BMS. Its omnidirectional and does not need to pivot so much less complicated mechanically. And because all the weight is in the base its somewhat portable.

I can't wait for that driver board analysis and repurposing video. Clamping that chassis with some wood clamps to the table could free you one hand:). I loved the vid anyway. Keep on the good work.

Using those motors for a wind turbine is certainly a very interesting idea. Good video! ☺

Have seen some trials like this and as is (without any transmission in between), most fail due requiring high wind speeds to start spinning to a useful rpm. So consider adding one for your project also maybe, and to do something different, use a vertical axis wind turbine as they are simpler since they dont require to track the wind plus require less "volume per watt". Finally blade design is more forgiving and could be made from PVC to make the prototype faster.

Outstanding look forward to you stacking.

a cool project. i hope you dont give up!

I really enjoy waching contents like this. I mean recycling sth and make things that either produce electricity or are handy. Please make these kinds of videos more❤

I have tried to make a wind turbine out of the hoverboard motor. There is some issue with the magnetic resistance or something. Long story short, it wont spin at lower wind speeds and difficult to start spinning at higher wind speeds. When I compared the spinning resistance with a commercial wind turbine, it was day and night difference because wind turbines start spinning at very low wind speeds and when wind speed rises it is already spinning and wind turbine works at best efficiency. Hoverboard motor wont even start in most cases and when it does it is inefficient. I worked with commercial small (500-1000W) wind turbines and have noticed that those wind turbines have coils without any core, so maybe that is an issue with these motors when used as generators. Since then I abandoned my wind turbine project and the prototype is laying in the storage room.

Love from Bangladesh ❤❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Lubię graty ze śmietnika. Czasem coś się trafi ciekawego 🙂👍

I built a turbine with one on the top and one on the bottom (phased 'em 6 phases) and used the bearings (top and bottom) and a homemade VAT in between. You can series or parrell connect the output as you please!

Am from Jamaica, and I would like to learn more about how to make brushless drivers, I managed to make the half bridge, with neutrual point going to + voltage, but i want make a full wave, that's more powerful. Hoping you could taught me how

Awesome project bro👍. I think you should collaborate with great Scott or electroboom.

Thank you for a good video.

Very cool project. i hope that works fine

I'm afraid that the start torque on these motors is so high that they wont spin i low wind conditions. Rewinding the connection to Delta from Star might help you get more power from the motors in decent wind conditions. These guys rewired would give way more than 200w, from my skateboard running 4 of these in Delta I peak each motors up to 700w.

I would connect the generator output to various values of power resistors, measure the voltage drop across those to calculate the current and also measure the total voltage, then graph out all those values to work out the maximum power point :D Also connect the sense wires to something to record the RPM

Try to reduce the cogging of these motors by removing some metal from the stator laminations only 1mm, max 2mm, it depends on the coils, after decogging the motor shoud rotate more freely, then you can compare one "generator" decogged and one stand. Thanks

hi there, big thanks for your content! i would like to ask if a bleeder would makes sence for safety and which bleeder would fit? Another question - what about changing the motor windings to /delta connection for having less torque? thanks and regards

You have 2 motrs.... power one with the other. there are controllers online very cheap (7€) and full of features... very nice.

I don't think this video is a failure. Maybe you didn't reach your original goal but I think it was still informative and I am looking for scrap hoverboards and escooters as we speak 😂

Thank you!

I have been trying to do this aswel for a while but don't have much time now. I 3D modeled a type of bracket to hold the blades made from PVC pipe without drilling (because I don't have a drill press and to keep it water tight) into the hub motor but just clamping force. I can upload the STL if you want to use it. I love these type of videos, please keep making them, thanks. Let me know if anyone wants the STL I would be happy to provide them.

This is a very nice idea.

quizás con una mesa de arranque para coches RC podrías probarlo aunque quizás tendrías el mismo problema con la goma de la rueda

A cheap, long life weather resistant generator can be found on most cars. Self regulating too. The KV rating of the 3ph motors is crucial to select for generation. IE 770KV needs 770 rpm to achieve 1 volt. Also remember that 1hp equals about 750 watts (1.6hp = 1kw), so consider the torque input as well as rpms. Do the math then design. Good luck!

Excellent video and great idea!

Just make a metal Y shaped prongs and attach it to the drill on one side and other two should hold the tire firmly so that you can make it rotate using drill.. it seems easier than alternating the alluminium casing

this type of generator requires (Maximum Power Point Tracking) mppt tracking

Hello there! I've a question. If you connect one of those motors to a controller, to generate movement you have to convert the DC to a Three phase AC right? So, if you use it as a generator, if you spin the motor, aren't you doing the opposite? Converting the three phase AC to DC? Thanks!

Disassemble the two halves of the hoverboard. Install motors. Place side by side. Remove Rubber tires. Connet the motors with a belt. Run one motor as a motor, and the other as a generator. Profit! )

you'll need big blades and a tall post to use one motor directly, gearing will be necessary. test it with a hand crank.

I've got I think 6 of those boards for spares :D. Hi. So, I can try to do some project with them on this UKposts channel here. As I live in Scotland, the wind is the least of my worries - to have it :D. The bigger problem is not to have it, or have it not too strong ;). If you'd want to test something, I've got all lab basic equipment, including oscilloscope, simple function generator and me and my technician we can microsolder as well. We fix all household electronics.

Albert Betz (German physicist) calculated that no wind turbine could convert more than 59.3% of the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy turning a rotor. This is known as the Betz Limit and is the theoretical maximum coefficient of power for any wind turbine. Following Robert Murray-Smith, you can see more about how to build wind turbines that approach this limit. The generator is only one of the subassemblies that determine the output power.

Maybe you can just 3D print an adapter for your drill that engages with the spokes on the hoverboard wheel.

i love it, someone's garbage is gold for others

hi ! and thanks for that vid ! I have also a hoverboard to dismantle .. and I noticed that my motors have 3 power wires + 5 wires (hall) + one simple WHITE WIRE ... does anybody knows about it ???

the higher the power you want to draw the harder it is to turn the motor , i dont think your going to have enough wind to power the huge motor your planning to make by combining the 2 motors , unless your going to make a 1 meter blade or something ridiculously big like that . me personally i would rather have a turbine that turns and generate a small amount of power from the smallest breeze ,then to have a turbine that doesnt turn at all most of the day also maybe use a gear box to have higher rpm ,also dont forget to have breaks on the turbine itself so you wont have a runaway turbine in bad weather your a smart boi !! you will figure it out

use one motor to drive the other motor, sond the second motor you put 10x100w bulbs and a watt meter in parallel to the rectified output. then you can just drive the input motor ... , you have to meassure the temperature on both motors constantly , not to fry them.

You can use the motors to make a motorised sofa for example...

Bom dia, motores gimbal podem ser usados como gerador para turbina eólica? E motores de drone, poderiam servir sem re-enrolar? Obrigado.

very interesting !!!

nice one!

Good job bro where are you from?

❤❤

I meassured the power of the hoverboard and it draws 8 amps for each motor 16anps × 36v = 575w peak power The maximium motor speed a get is 25km/h no load speed

,☕¡Gracias!

You can further increase the generated Voltage at lower RPM if you internally separate the 3 phases, use a Voltage doubled rectifier on each phase (2x diode and 2x capacitor) and put the 3 rectified phases in series!

Make 3d printer using Arduino uno make it cheaper to cheaper and using scrape

No es mejor poner cada motor en un molino separado?

Do you think Axial Flux motors would work better?

Just noticed that you have uploaded 4 new videos, these aren't getting recommended to me☹

Stick to your channel 😅 still watching ❤👍

Commenting for better reach and better recommendation.

The one you have is only 250w motor. At the best scenario you'll get close to that not more. Just buy more efficient wind turbines for not so much money. A 500w is much better than the hub motor at converting energy.

I know that thing is heavy, but you lift it with one hand like nothing inside it After I read something in your t-shirt 😅

Can you combine solar panels and wind turbines? Fins of wind turbine will be made of solar

Bigger wheel on the drill will driver the smaller, faster

Se podría hacer un proyecto con estos motores, pero no sabemos como contactar contigo desde Madrid. Un saludo

i paid $10 usd for a Hover 1 HoverBoard at a thrift store and it works

Hey i'm still waiting for your update sine wave inverter video.

3000 watts pure sine wave inverter circuit diagram using pic IC

Check EFeru's hoverboard firmware

Those motors looks like ceiling fan motors, u can get those for free

If I had 3 hoverboards, I would wire them to a esp and have it collect rock samples from the desert or bring me food from the kitchen...

max Pauer 300watt

I have 6 like this, 2 hoverboard and 4 smartbalance *idk whats different from the name, and all this item is not working (some items still working but have a little error), anyone can give me advice for the project, or anyone want this items at a low prices😂

I trying to make a RC mower

Why are the heatsinks named that way lol

sir please make STM32F103C8T6T based on aircraft for beginners plane in vs code (platformio) please please please 😢😢😢 i request you sir. 31:32 dont worry i know i have seen you with 100% success in many video this is just a step to go to complete success dont step back i will be with u for full support as a subscriber. thank you from india 31:32

Not great for wind power. I tried.

Wow you were negative about a home made project (youre self made load device) but i think lots of people are here coz we want to make good hime made stuff. AndIi (still) think you are kind off an expert at that. Maybe your'e just a bad sales person😊

For load just stack some wirewound high wattage resistors. For coupling to the motor mount a pulley to the hubcap and put a bench grinder next to it with a belt. Is it possible to mechanically align the two motors such that their outputs are in sync? This would reduce the rectifier costs.

Maybe the drill can't output more than like 80W? maybe try something more powerful? like fixing it to your car and driving fast?

...and does not have a hefty price

I never under stood why the call it hoverboards. They dont hover

U talk too much, please

unsubbed and resubbed because i never see your vids

Great

Oh you said that nice but can you use a 1 kilowatt bldc of motor instead of using a this smaller ones😊

Change the wiring from star to delta and use a wind charge controller or soda charge controller of mppt
