It would be interesting to make a remote-controlled airplane with a hard drive motor.

Be careful lol... Those things will do decent damage if the platter breaks apart and becomes shrapnel.

@TannerTech 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I had safety glasses on. That probably would not be enough to stop all the shrapnel though haha

@@TannerTech You had safety glasses over your mouth, throat, stomach, d--k, crown jewels...? >:) High velocity shrapnel is EVIL. Especially plastic, as it tends to splinter into tiny fragments (due to brittleness/low strength) and is hard to find during exploratory surgery as it won't show up on a metal detector or such instruments. I'd suggest a decent sheet of plywood inbetween you and crazy-a-- experiment, or at least not direct line-of-sight. ;)

lol, that weird sound at the end was... kinda scary, but for the jokes could be interpreted as plane engine failure and eventually crash on a mountain :D

@thegeforce6625 Жыл бұрын

the hard drive your messing with spins at 15,000rpm normally, those 15k drives have 2.5" platters in a 3.5" case for heat, turbulance, and access time reasons.

@treasuretotrash2067 3 жыл бұрын

If you were to replace the bearing do you think it could reach maybe 70,000 rpm? :P

@TannerTech 3 жыл бұрын

Perhaps. I also probably could have if I had a larger power supply and a better ESC.

How to get SSD read and write speeds on a mechanical harddrive.🧐

@marwi16a53 2 ай бұрын

Usual hard drives for home users spin at 7200RPM, energy saving drives at 5400RPM. But you have a server drive, those spin at 10000RPM, and yours is even the fastest at 15000RPM

@arbiteras 2 жыл бұрын

If it was stabilized to work normally, it would be faster than ssd, right?

@bhxlegend 3 ай бұрын

No never ssd literally pull and push electrons to read and write no mechanical drives can do that plus just to run it at 50k rpm you'll need somewhere around 4amps so not worth it 😂

Thanks for the help, but how much power supply you are using at that crazy speed.

You maybe need some longer leads so you can experiment at a safer distance 😂 putting a cover over things is a nice idea if you don't like the thought of metal shattering and launching itself into you

do you think you could put a prop on it?

@phonotical 3 жыл бұрын

I'd like to have seen it in actual operation, reading and writing, but with the speed being entirely manual

@TannerTech 3 жыл бұрын

I would as well, although I do not think that would work as it would have to sync it's reading with the rotations of the disk. The circuit would not know the speed under manual control.

Where you are not uploading from last 2 years? Can we get a free esc from hard drive motherboard itself that was used to run the hdd motor when it was working?

Normally the esc works 0 to 5v to change the speed. Did you just connect the generator to the center wire and ground?

@TannerTech 3 жыл бұрын

The ESC uses a PWM signal that switches between 0 and 5 volts 100 times per second. The ratio of the time it is at 5 volts and the time it is at 0 volts(duty cycle) determines speed.

@TannerTech 3 жыл бұрын

I connected the hard drive motor to the 3 wires. It doesn't matter which ones
