super tiny brushless motor

ive just found an outrunner brushless motor with an outside diameter of 1.9 cm !!
it came from a laptop floppy disk drive [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

i will weigh it with the backplate and try and get some photos this evening. its probably lighter than an IPS, might make a good brushless tail rotor system! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

ok just weighed it on some scales

apparantley its 9 grams with the pcb mounting board! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

That's pretty darn small!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] I hope you've got small hands if you're thinking of rewinding and remagneting it! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I always thought floppy disk motors were huge! Oh well! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Get those pics uploaded ASAP! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

yeah this is from a portable floppy disk. the motor spun a big drum on a belt drive. the only reason i found it at all was because i saw the belt that it was driving. just gotta wait for dad to get back with his cam [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I hope it wasn't your Dad's laptop that floppy drive came from! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

That 310 looks like its had better days!.
remind me to wear sunglasses next time i go to your site,should be a public health warning on that! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

hehe, ill take that as a compliment [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

am i right in thinking that brushless is small though? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

thanks [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yes that is pretty small!!!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] nuclear is right - what have you been doing to that poor 310! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I somehow don't think it will work unless you wind wire on all the poles. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

So you gonna make a mount for it? If you want you could send it to me and I'll make a mount for it .... but I can't guarentee that you'd get the motor back! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
