    Impressive pancake motor. You must have a very well equiped kitchen. Any details to follow? Size? HP? Exploded views? Drawings?

    What's power input? what kind of rpm & torque can you get out of it? Could it work for a spindle motor? You must have a CNC blender or something in the kitchen.

    A Poorly Equipped Kitchen?

    I have a problem. My kitchen seems to be lacking some (actually, all) of the requisite equipment for building this motor. Neither the stove, refrigerator, microwave, countertop, cupboards, sink, garbage disposer, or my Fry Baby, seems to provide me with the facilities to cast or mill the motor housing and armature, turn the shaft, wind the coils, press the bearings and bushings, or attach the wires to each other and the outside world.

    I think the Slovakian version of that Chinese one makes the 3 phase motors.

    OK guys

    I maybe a bit exaggerate BUILT IN KITCHEN but honestly
    i have made my first two models of engine with a file set,
    soldering iron and saw. They worked.

    Of course i now use digital cuting machine TRUMPH .
    To build engine you need a front and back panel [they are identical]
    rotor cage, shaft, magnets, coils and bearings. See picks.

    best wishes from Slovak kitchen Kadora

    Its great. I like it, but do you have a reason? Why do it when so many other motors exist to choose from? Normally people do this either for fun, or to figure some special feature that no one else has, so what is the motor for? Why?

    Hi midword08

    Yes I agree on the market is a lot of 3-phases motors and is easy to buy one
    but I wanted to build open magnetic path motor and compared basic parameters with profesionaly done closed mag. path motors and results
    seems very good.
    I had oportunity to compare both motors only in way that I meassured
    current and voltage for both motors and motors powered the same airplane propeller .
    profi motor 12 V 10 A ------ 9300 rpm weight 160 grams
    my motor 12 V 10 A ------ 8200 rpm weight 120 grams

    It is easy to say stupid slovak or chinese kitchen motor but I think
    that is better to try something than do nothing.

    have a nice day kadora

    I don't think any malice was intended or any way be-little your efforts.
    I took it to be an effort to inject a bit of comedy with reference to being made on a Kitchen table!.
