As I've mentioned numerous times here on /robowaifu/ , having a smol flotilla of drones for our robowaifus to increase situational awareness will be quite valuable. At last there is a consumer drone that should be able to fulfill this need in a stellar fashion: the DJI Neo 2 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=eHJLPAQuxz8

>>41269 Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love for it to completely anonymous, and if it can be done, that would be amazing, but as far as I know, with a completely anonymous system, you basically have to communicate and decide beforehand that you're sending money, and that money is coming from you. That would be hard to do on a mass scale, since you would just see a wave of anonymous recipients, and nowhere to send the product. Maybe on the blockchain you can have a system where you can analyze the blockchain for the ledgers, and be able to send files?

>>43553 >Well, I'm disappointed to hear that, HoloAnon ngl. I didn't definitively say I'm ceasing development; I'm still thinking it over. But it's extremely discouraging when you think you have a good idea and it turns out the audience is much smaller than you thought.
>>43542 Interesting idea. I did see all the memes about the life-size gardevoir pillow. I have some counterpoints to the idea of a life-size pillow -Plushies have no structural integrity. That's fine for a small one, but for a human sized one, it would always be limp. Maybe an endoskeleton can help -They get dirty easily, and soaking means any spilled fluid might get in deep. Good luck on finding a human sized washing machine. This is also why I think the NEO robot having a fabric skin is asinine. >But nope straight to massive silicone beasties I guess. I had a similar thought that I discussed on a groupchat, because I was wondering, why not a robot-themed sexdoll? It would reduce the amount of silicon, make things like replacable onaholes possible, and can even have some electronics. Plus it would make more sense than having a supposedly real woman that is paralyzed and can't blink. On Incels.is, I brought up the idea of adapting Galatea tech attaching a wrist bluetooth speaker to a sex dolls wrist for local AI. >Pillow robowaifu seems to be a more viable alternative to even 3d printing because an anon could just buy the pattern online, pick up a sewing kit and some fabric at the local department store and sew his own cuddle buddy. Pic related >>43543 >Well, when this many men are sexually unsatisfied, you're going to have many different kinds of men in that group. Exactly. All sorts. A good portion seem misanthropic and perpetually miserable. Some replies that show what I'm talking about >"If she was nearly identical to a human being that I can fuck then yeah, otherwise no. I don't want to talk to a foid, even if she's AI, I just want sex." >"marry? greynigger what" Not exactly Romeo. Plus, the first quote and many others claim they want the robowaifu to look perfectly human. I find that ridiculous, that means we could have perfect and fully capable cute robopartners (like the second pic), but if they don't look exactly like a human woman, the very same that reject them mind you, they won't even want them. Makes me wonder how bad the inceldom really is if they put up such arbitrary restrictions for a miracle cure. Plus, ironically, blue-pilled talk about how "AI love is not real". If AI and robowaifus aren't real, then WTF is standing in my living room and wearing a maid uniform? >>43553

/DMG/ DIY Motor Generation Axial 01/30/2025 (Thu) 11:08:28 No.36271 [Reply]
>Welcome to /DMG/ DIY Motor Generation! This is the place to discuss DIY motor designs, showcase your creations, and refine your ideas on motor tech. This thread is a requested offshoot of the "Actuators For Waifu Movement" thread to focus specifically on DIY motors. We will focus solely on DC motors. I will start the thread off by talking about the types of motors and terms associated with electric motors to keep a good reference to look back on. It should be noted that most motors are Radial Flux and not Axial Flux. What is flux? Magnetic flux is a measure of the total magnetic field which passes through a surface. Radial and Axial describes the orientation of the magnetic flux. Radial Flux Motor > A radial flux motor is like a cylinder spinning inside another cylinder. The magnetic flux flows perpendicular to the axis of rotation, meaning it moves from the stator to the rotor radially outward or inward. Traditional cylindrical motors (like most brushed and brushless DC motors, induction and steppers) are radial flux motors. Rotor and stator are concentric, with the stator surrounding the rotor. Pros: Well-established, widely used, good for high-speed applications. Cons: Can be bulkier and less power-dense compared to axial flux motors. Axial Flux Motor >An axial flux motor is like two discs spinning parallel to each other. The magnetic flux flows parallel to the axis of rotation, meaning it moves along the shaft’s length rather than outward. These motors have a flat, disc-like design where the stator and rotor are stacked on top of each other rather than inside one another. Pros: More compact, higher torque density, and better cooling due to a larger surface area. Cons: More complex to manufacture, higher initial costs. Kinds of Motors: >Brushed DC Motor: Uses brushes and a commutator for current switching. Simple, inexpensive, but requires maintenance due to brush wear. >Brushless DC Motor (BLDC): Uses electronic commutation instead of brushes. More efficient, longer lifespan, commonly used in drones and electric vehicles. >Coreless DC Motor: Lighter and more efficient than traditional brushed motors, often used in small precision devices like robotics and medical instruments. >Stepper Motor: Moves in discrete steps, allowing precise control. Used in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotics. >Servo Motor: A DC motor with feedback control for precise positioning. Used in robotics, RC vehicles, and automation. >Single-Phase Induction Motor: Used in household appliances like fans and washing machines. >Three-Phase Induction Motor: Used in industrial applications due to high efficiency and reliability.

>>36271 Well, I hope you're still with us here, Axial. Been wondering what's happening with you lately, Anon. Cheers. :^)
Robert Murray-Smith has an absolutely kick ass video here. It's for a generator but all he says equally applies to motors. It's also without iron as Axial prefers. He gives reference to other videos he has to wind these serpentine coils. He places these and magnets in 3D printed forms to make the generator. 1931 A More Powerful And More Efficient Generator And How To Build It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX7UgVSUOBE He has a ton of videos on all sorts of stuff and a WHOLE LOT on generators and motors. What is so good about a lot of his videos is he explains what he is trying to do in simple terms and makes most everything out of simple stuff you can easily acquire. He has two channels. One with his name and one called Thinking N tinkering. Both good. Let's look at some of the huge advantages of these serpentine coils he makes. He winds these as just a big coil of wire then bends it around a form. Think of the trouble to wind a bunch of little coils like a normal motor/generator compared to one big coil and stuffing it in a form. The time saving is immense. The key here it not necessary exactly what he built, though it's good, it's looking at the way these are arranged and seeing how much the same can be used as motors. A simple example is, does the coil have to be in a circle? No it could be like the linear motor that Axial showed a picture of in this comment. >>36432 You make your form, wind this big round coil then stuff it in the form. Here's another simple idea. Does a Halbach array have to be made of magnets? No you could do the same with wire coils. And using Simth's technique you could wind a big coil then thread it through a form to make the array. See the array in the first picture here

>>37387 Been super busy with life. Finally able to get back to work. I have been most recently working on my wife and I's external shell of our humanoid robot. We are prioritizing a semi open frame with magnetic panels made from soft materials like TPU, so the outer shell can be compliant and not result in broken shells if a fall occurs. Also added benefit of having a easily removeable shell to access the internals for prototyping/fixing things. The wife has been begging me to help her produce videos on the robot / motor generation for youtube soon, so that will be interesting. I've been also investigating the idea of using steel sewing bobbins for coils cores, but they are small and might not be viable. I also found out you can melt cast iron in a microwave. Which is insane as we can cast our own cast iron parts for diy motor parts. The parts will have to be small, but it might be possible to have modular pieces which can be attached to one another, maybe via dovetail or screws.
