A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. This project will start with a simple DC motor circuit<\/a> design, however, you can implement this project in other projects such as robotic, electric vehicles, irrigation systems, smart houses, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of the project is Earth Day<\/a>. We will make a windmill to represent the idea of using nature to sustain energy for a better environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part list<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

DC motor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capacitor 100 pF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ON\/OFF switch <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery tray <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LED ( optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recycle cardboard box<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assemble<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

First, cut out the slot for the DC motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, cut out a slot for the On\/Off switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, cut out the area for the battery tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s time to wire everything together. The 101 capacitor is very important to keep the motor running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will attach a schematic below for reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, glue all of the parts in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a spare tube as an axial for the windmill propeller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final product should look like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will attach a video where we use this in one of our latest video series:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
