Amazing, clear description of brushless motors and how to control them. Such solid video. I look forward to seeing your creations step forward.

A robot dog that can pick up after your dog does its duty on the sidewalk... genius🤣

I'm a young student moving on to post secondary study soon and I am grateful that you were able to share this video! I am working on some of my own robotic projects and I have always had a hard time finding ways to control brushless motors and so I have stuck to brushed to simplify things for myself. After watching this you have taught me enough to inspire me to go back and learn more about his brushless motor control! I appreciate this and you definitely got a sub from me!

Lithium grease is for high temperatures, it can soften pla and dissolve plastics over time, i figure silicone grease is cool for pla. awesome info i hadn't seen that thanks.

Really impressive. Video is super clear. Looking at the rest of the project looks like a really solid design that can be adapted to other projects. Thanks for sharing. You already have me pricing out those motors online

This is a really well done project, and an amazingly well done video. You are a natural at presenting your material with a touch of humor and a ton of knowledge - well done indeed!

Awesome design, impressive performance!

This is all the research and explanation a non-electronics person like me needed to hear. Subscribed.

When I got halfway through and I'm like this guy deserves a sub, I'm shocked by how few subs for the quality. Great job

This is really cool, Looking forward to seeing it walk!

Loved the video the fundamentals you covered really gave a lot of information about motors thanks a lot

Very cool, I'll have to try building one of these myself! Can't wait to see a robot using these in the future.

Super cool project! Great presentation as well, keep at it!. Extremely impressive! Can't wait to see this come together!.

Epic. Thank you for sharing the how to and open source license

Extremely impressive! Can't wait to see this come together!

This was a fun watch! I learned things, saw some really cool tech and now I feel inspired to work on some projects I’ve been procrastinating on.

Wow, excellent project and awesome video! Great editing and videography, impressively artful editing, and well thought out explanation of enough of the basics to explain your design decisions. Love it, excited to see what you build with it, and if I can finish some of my current projects I'm going to build one!

Best video I’ve found so far on such motors! Thank you 🎉

Damn solid work! Thank you for sharing, both this video and the source. 💪

Very cool. I have found that inexpensive force gauges from amazon are pretty good and useful for measuring things like this, they come with different attachments and mounting options, some of them have serial ports for data logging.

Pretty production, keep going man, i know how much work you have put into it.

Awesome video, great project, and I especially enjoyed the great editing with all the music and sound effects! Instant sub and waiting for more (after I've watched all of your previous videos).

Nice work, the design looks nice.

Great work and thanks for sharing

It appears that the algorithm is blessing us all with your fabulous content! I’m very excited to see the continuation of this project. It is beautiful work, and presented wonderfully. Subbed immediately.

the whole video was fantastic but the flute in the intro was pure gold!

Glad that the algorithm showed me your channel, very nice and quality videos, looking forward to the next one!

Great engineering and video presentation. I enjoyed every one of your videos. Keep it coming!

I loved everything in this project, my friend! Even the sarcasm in between!

awesome! thanks for making it open source!!

THANK you so much for making this, I've had a project on hold waiting for just something like this! I want to make a gang of these to pull and feed out cables in a cable operated robotic mechanism. Excellent work! I'd love to see you make a bipedal robot, use the technique of simulating the actuators in a game engine like unity, and train the control AI in a game engine on a desktop PC. (That is the part I'm focusing on, how to simulate cable mechanisms in a game engine, and use that to train a control AI)

inspiring, thanks for sharing this with us

Man what a great video. Also thanks for sharing your work.

Love the sound design as well! ❤

Super cool project! Great presentation as well, keep at it!

love this! Thank you

Cool video, thank you for sharing!

A really awesome and amazing video! Great ingenuity and craftmansship. I've seen many, MANY videos on harmonic drives and planetary gearboxes, this is really an outstanding video. Of course I hit the like button and immediately subscribed.

Very detail explanation. Hope for more contents like this❤

was fully expecting this channel to have like 100k subscribers when i looked at the channel, this is a very well made video and a very good actuator design.

Very well done.

Aaed, greetings from Norway! I need to apoligise to you for not having found you sooner. Absolutely awesome channel!

Dude you're really killing it both from a design and engineering perspective, as well as from a content perspective. I'm loving these videos🤜

Earned my sub. Can't wait to watch your channel grow. Keep up the good work.

Awesome video and explanation. I’m going to your website and looking at more!

This is so wonderful! Thank you for this

3:46 I see you got some good music taste there😉Awesome video man you got a well earned sub

Really nice result : )

So nice. Lovely 😍

The torque is proportional to the area of the stator, not diameter. The flat ones are proffered due to the surface area which provides cooling.

Awesome content man! Looking forward to your next iteration of robot quadruped using this drive! Side question, would you continue making content for your channel after graduating?

Great video, love to see more like this

excellent job !

Your channel is amazing. You will be huge!!!

man that's awesome!!

So well presented, explained and executed. With humour too. In a tech channel. I subbed...😊

I'll be joining the boilermaker crew as an engineering student in the fall! This is crazy awesome, cant wait to see it being implemented in some robot designs. I hope one day my videos can be as impressive and entertaining as yours!

if you continue like this, i see no reason why you shouldnt succeed, really entertaining video! Nice explanations :) Keep on going, good work. Greetings from Luxembourg

I just rewatched this. Still solid👍

Amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Wow, awesome project and great video! You did a great job explaining everything. Looking forward to the next video!

Get Danco silicon grease rather than white lithium grease...it is thicker, and won't attract dust Pretty darn cool though! Keep em coming!!!!

I might use this idea for my sim racing Force feedback steering

good job, can't wait to see the walking robot.

Wow, that's pretty neat! If you make a video on a walking robot, I can't wait to see it. Your website is pretty dope to get more info and the design from. Top notch creater that deserves more attention. I've heard of those brushless drone motor catching fire becasue usually they are meant to have air blowing constantly through it, but it can be managed hopefully. Cheers!

can't wait to see what you do with it

Nice project! ❤

Awesome job

What an underrated channel - great work!

Nice work bro

Awesome job dude, just think how nice this will be if It was printed from a high quality UPAHT-CF15 or a PA11-CF instead of PLA, even ABS-CF would be a nice choice.

Cool video shot, keep it up, thank you for sharing :)

Nice to see updates !

Thanks! Also, having the clamps on one side made my eye twitch. Those tests aren't providing enough data about the motor without a stationary point. Make your base wider, Flip the clamps 90 and add a few milimeters between, then reposition the camera. Anyways, I'll be using this within my engineering courses this fall. Thanks again for all you do! Would you be interested in meeting virtually with my students, this fall?

Dude I love your editing, great video!

Nice video, great explanation. Liked and subscribed.

Wow, this is great content - interesting, well-produced and informative. Subbed!

Super well done! Looks better than openTorque! The only question remaining is: how durable is it? I'd be curious to see a wear test 🙂

very instruction, good video

Subscribed and upvoted for open source, thanks a lot, solid work! I'd love to see a legged robot with an arm on top... Many potential applications, but I'm curious what mechanical considerations there are for this and choosing degrees of freedom and size if wanting to touch the ground

3:47 music taste is immaculate

Dude, this is SO cool. That's all.

Nice job, KZfaq algo! Subscribed!

nice your video really is inspiring

Pounds? What's that? Why do they still insist on using outdated measurements instead of adopting the universally accepted metric system? The international scientific community has embraced the metric system for its precision, simplicity, and ease of conversion. Transitioning to the metric system would not only promote global consistency but also facilitate cross-border collaboration, facilitate trade, and enhance scientific communication. It's time to leave behind archaic measurement units and embrace a standardized system that promotes accuracy and efficiency on a global scale. ps: Liked and subscribed.

Excellent video

Wow, your skill, knowledge and presentation exceeds your subscriber count. I look forward to see what else you do

Great video. Try printing on a PEI sheet, the parts release so nicely.

Awesome! I just finished making a cycloidal drive actuator! I am using nema 17, but i love the idea of using BLDC, with my terribly inefficient nema 17s,

This is awesome

Great design! One think I don't like is use of helical teeth profile as these create an axial force while in use and in current design it can increase wear and lower the efficiency. Would it be possible to use herringbone gears in your design? Either solid or 2 part ones

holy moly! you are smart!

Excellent!

I just found this channel while scrolling my recommended section, and I wish I found this channel sooner. I love this type of content.

good stuff.. i feel like this could be used for a diy sim force feedback wheel..

Great performance for sure. It appear to me that a more versatile walking robot should be built with 4 motorized wheels as feet. This way the robot becomes much more efficient as it can walk and or roll.

I noticed one thing wrong with your 3D printer you may want to consider fixing. Your bed looks loose from the clip at 2:03 underneath the bed there should be eccentric nuts, tighten them until it doesn't wobble. Look up a video on how to tighten it for further instructions.
