So I asked /sci/ if they could help me and got a friendly response suggesting I come here and an aggressive response telling me to fuck off.
I think I have a viable blueprint for a hoverboard motor but don't have the supplies to test if I can get enough power. The only issue is, I have no money for prototyping.
Can someone make a powerful, compact electrical coil, diameter approximately 1-2 inches, hook it up to a frame so it stays in one place while spinning and see how fast it spins against a neodymium magnet when powered by the most powerful battery you have access to?
Alternatively, if you know of an accurate and cheap (see: free) simulator where I could run this without spending money, that would also be awesome.
Scientific picture of rabbit for attention.

That rabbit has neck fat. Whoever let him get fat is a person of different locations.

The only "simulator" you need to work this out is a calculator and a basic physics education, which, if you had, would tell you why /sci/ invited you to fuck off.
>>1182826
Are you trying to tell me you wouldn't snuggle the shit out of that rabbit?
>>1182829
I'm saying you're a dick for letting it get fat like your poop
>>1182833
It's purely diagramatic. I don't have a rabbit, much to my disappointment.

You're a fucking homo, you know why? Cause you're trying to make a fucking homopolar motor. You can calculate the torque it would produce from basic fucking physics.
PROTIP: not fucking much which is exactly the opposite of what hoverboards need
Anyone got that /diy/ bingo image? I think this thread needs it.
Are we suggesting that it's ok to call something on wheels a hover board?
It fucking isn't ok.
>>1182868
No bingo yet
>>1182898
You missed "No skills" and possibly "Super Secret Patent Idea"
>>1182903
Still no bingo.
That bingo card never wins, ever. Why you guys keep posting it?

the only thing rabbits are good for is their meat, 8 grams of protein per serving.

>cheap (see: free) simulator
you could just work it out on fucking paper seeing as magnetic field strength equations are something children learn to do in school.
nobody is asking you to derive maxwell's wave from first fucking principles
>>1182826
No it doesn't. Rabbits have a sort of extra fluffy patch on their brisket, and resting their head on it flattens a pillow area. There's no flesh in that, it's a cloud of fur, and the rabbit itself underneath is much thinner.
>>1182826
That's a girl. Or doe. It's called a dewlap. They use it to pull fur from to line their nest when they deliver a litter.
-I had rabbits for years.

I wouldn't mind doing the physics for you if you provided a diagram of the motor. But everything you'd need to calculate would mostly be on Hyperphysics, with the exception of the permanent magnets. For permanent magnets you have to work out the magnetic dipole and do some curls and corss-products to get the magnetic field vector and all that, but you can definitely get a useable magnetic field out of it.
So is the coil spinning? If so, you'll need commutation, which is a pain. It's more efficient to have the permanent magnet on the rotor and the coils on the stator and control the polarity of the coils with a Hall-effect sensor (or photodiode?).
The main problem with diy motors is that winding the coils is a pain in the arse, and they're typically worse and more expensive than whatever you could buy online. If you have a machine shop I'm certain you could build a pretty damn good quality motor, but you'd have to sell them at quite a high price to make a profit.

mfw people still use 110V...
