/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. Video about the cast iron process here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhQF71ZNs4c >>36955 >>37407 Thanks for the links Grommet, I'll be sure to check them out. Also RIP Robert Murray-Smith, such a major loss.

Partition the data (ideally one task per instance), spin up multiple instances and merge the weights after. Optionally, spend some time weighting them accordingly. I don't have code for it yet but it'd be possible to optimize the merge weights to some training data. Have a lot of stuff to do but on Monday I'll clean up and post the training code I made for finetuning 2.7B models on toasters with only 6 GB if anyone wants to give it a shot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY /ROBOWAIFU/ Robowaifu Technician Board owner 11/27/2019 (Wed) 17:27:05 No.1591 [Reply] [Last]
9th Birthday Edition greeting here: ( >>43098 ) --- >original (albeit a bit edited) OP follows: Well it's Thanksgiving time again and that means it's /robowaifu/s birthday time too. It's been 3 full years since we began, and this last one has been a bit of a ride tbh. With the deplatforming of 8ch all of us who had communities there were mostly left out in the cold. Thankfully we've been given a new home here in our bunkerhome at JulaynuJulay, and a few of us have found our way back together here. Hopefully the rest of us will find Julay, and /robowaifu/ again as well. We've also made some new friends since we've been here, and I think we're in pretty good shape all things considered. On the topic of deplatforming, we have a new archival system in action that keeps a copy of the board up to date on my machine. Note that my original intent was to fully automate the archive.today archives, but it hasn't worked properly (they seem to be fighting against bots pretty hard now). I hope at least one other of you will also join in for the approach that's actually working, and use BUMP to keep at least one other copy of /robowaifu/ safe in addition to my own. You never know what might happen to my gear (or even to me), and it's just smart thinking to have at least two of us keeping this board safe. My intent is to finish up the system for board migrations (along with Robi), and then bring over other things from the old files and get this board in shape again. Then we can keep it fully backed up together. As you regulars know, /robowaifu/ is basically unique among imageboards and well-deserves preservation IMO. Any other takers for doing backups as well? I just use a cronjob and it's all fully automatic daily I never have to touch it. I'll explain everything in detail how to do it if anyone else wants to participate. One other thing; should anything ever happen to Julay, just regroup on Fatchan Anoncafe Trashchan in our bunker there. Actually, I'm pretty upbeat about both the world of IB communities in general, and our own /robowaifu/ in particular. We all took a hard knock a few months ago, but we're back on our feet and in the fight again. Kudos in particular to both Julay and Smug for their innovations with the webring introduction. It's lent a resilience to the underlying systems for all our various communities that we've never had before afaict. This alone should help to ensure we have a long future of shitposting together anons. Anyway moving on, I hope this coming year will also see a resurgence in everyone's posts here about their personal projects. I intend to do so myself. It's always a pleasure to see Anon's efforts and blog-posts about their current attempts and ideas, regardless whether they are successes or failures. Persistence is really the single most important factor for eventual success--even more than innate talent--and so just don't quit anon! Don't be afraid to get back in the game even if you met with failure before. Try something different this time, right?

Happy Birthday, /robowaifu/ ! It's been nine years since we began life as /robowaifu/ on Thanksgiving weekend. We have some new Anons onboard again this year. We're still waiting patiently for some old frens to reappear. As predicted, there is a veritable "arms race" ( >>34520 ) of humanoid development going on now ( >>43048 ). This will only grow for several years to come. ALSO as predicted, the first major corpo has stepped forward and displayed a gynoid : (cf. >>42698, >>42722, et al). This is a big deal! :^) Anons are moving forward apace with their own projects, and a years old new one has begun that yours truly will be participating in: HoloWaifu ( >>42840, et al). I'm really looking forward to see where we all go with this one! What an amazing turmoil this past year this has been for the AI LLM scene! Based DeepSeek (and dozens of other companies) have sprung up to challenge the (((status quo))). Cl*sedAI has been burning through taxpayer's & investor's cash like shoveling space freighters into a cosmic black hole! Along with the roller coaster NGr*edia has been through, popcorn has certainly intensified this year!! :DD <---> It's such a blessing to have all you Anons here on /robowaifu/ together. May this be the year of the waifu! :^) Keep Moving Forward.
>>43098 Happy 9th Birthday! I would say the year has gone by fast, but this year has been so hectic and event-filled, that it feels like 2-3 years. Here's to many, many more years of /robowaifu/ !
>>43121 Thanks, GreerTech! >this year has been so hectic and event-filled, that it feels like 2-3 years. I can see that! It certainly seems like an unusual one. >Here's to many, many more years of /robowaifu/ ! Amen, Brother. <---> Cheers, Anons. :^)
Happy 9th birthday!
>>43128 Thanks, Ribose! I hope your research and plans are moving forward apace. Cheers, Anon. :^)

Power & Energy Robowaifu Technician 04/25/2025 (Fri) 22:16:32 No.37810 [Reply] [Last]
Power & Energy Robots require some form of energy to power them. We need to understand how to store energy in a way that will provide her with all the power she’ll need. To clarify, “energy” is a system's capacity to do work over time. This is measured by Wh, or Watt hour. Closely related is “power” the rate at which work is done. This is measured as W, or watts. As an example, we could have a robot with a 80Wh Lithium Ion battery and two DC gear motors that consume 10W when working. You do not need to rely solely on batteries and motors. We can use other methods of storing energy. This can include compressed fluids, thermal energy, and light, among other things. For instance, glow in the dark paint is useful for storing energy to use at night for safety. Solar panels or a generator can provide power through the energy of long distance nuclear fusion or extracting energy from some reaction. Being part of a robot means we need to consider safety, mass, and volume. How will her energy and power system fit inside her? How will she deal with the mass? What happens when she runs out of energy? How can you minimize her energy use? What alternatives can be used to lower her cost of production and ownership? These rhetorical questions are all important when contemplating how to build a robot.

Artificial Wombs general Robowaifu Technician 09/12/2019 (Thu) 03:11:54 No.157 [Reply] [Last]
I think we need to figure out how to fit a womb onto a waifubot. Where's the fun in having sex if you can't procreate?

Repost from a thread on /b/;
>"If you're like me and want to fuck a qt battlebot and get her pregnant, the best place to put an artificial womb is where a normal womb would be on a normal girl. The metal exterior could simply be a bunch of metal plates that unfold to allow space for the womb pod inside. The baby is probably safest inside the battlebot, and if she has good calibration then there shouldn't be problems with her falling and hurting the baby. After giving birth the metal plates could automatically fold back up again, shrinking the womb pod inside so she is combat effective again."

Well /robowaifu/? Feasible?

Cognitivie Architecture : Discussion v2 GreerTech 11/02/2025 (Sun) 07:49:57 No.42635 [Reply]
Chii Cogito Ergo Chii Chii thinks, therefore Chii is. Cognitive architecture is the study of the building blocks which lead to cognition. The structures from which thought emerges. Let's start with the three main aspects of mind; Sentience: Ability to experience sensations and feelings. Her sensors communicate states to her. She senses your hand holding hers and can react. Feelings, having emotions. Her hand being held bring her happiness. This builds on her capacity for subjective experience, related to qualia. Self-awareness: Capacity to differentiate the self from external actors and objects. When presented with a mirror, echo, or other self referential sensory input is recognized as the self. She sees herself in your eyes reflection and recognizes that is her, that she is being held by you. Sapience: Perception of knowledge. Linking concepts and meanings. Able to discern correlations congruent with having wisdom. She sees you collapse into your chair. She infers your state of exhaustion and brings you something to drink. These building blocks integrate and allow her to be. She doesn't just feel, she has qualia. She doesn't see her reflection, she sees herself reflected, she acknowledges her own existence. She doesn't just find relevant data, she works with concepts and integrates her feelings and personality when forming a response. Cognition, subjective thought reliant on a conscious separation of the self and external reality that integrates knowledge of the latter. A state beyond current AI, a true intellect. This thread is dedicated to all the steps on the long journey towards a waifu that truly thinks and feels.

I've been busy enough the past few months that I missed this. Reflection is accepted into C++26! This has the potential to transform the language entirely: a meta-generator of metaprogramming. I'm no expert, but I'm unaware of any other language that puts so many capabilities together into a single language now. Hopefully the compiler vendors will be on top of this quickly (after all, it will help them in their own work dramatically).
