6 Pack DC 3V 1730RPM Mini Electric Motor for DIY Toys Wind Turbine Generator

Connecting a small red LED (typically lower voltage/amperage compared to other colors), I was able to get it to light with a simple spin of the rotor with my fingers. Of course, it spins down quickly (as expected since angular momentum is quite low), so it's just a quick flash, but bright enough nonetheless. The LED I happened to use is rated 2.0-2.2 volts, and I connected this LED to my bench power supply and noted I could get it to begin lighting up at 1.6V, and at 2.0V it only drew about 9mA. Added a pulley and placed a rubber band around it and my power drill and was able to get it to light steadily with steady rotation of the drill. So, works as expected; recommended product.

This motor is a perfect, and correct speed replacement for our 5 volt angel snow globe lantern. I did have to trim the shaft a little with my Dremel tool to get the correct fitment. I just did the replacement today, so we'll have to see about durability, but I expect it will be comparable to the original.

The price was right for the set of 6 motors that run at 3VDC. I used one to replace the motor of a Camco Fridge Airator with slight modifications (Foam pad to brace motor in the shell and drill slightly oversize hole in plastic fan to fit new spindle). The fridge fan worked well , running at approximately 1.5 times the speed of the initial motor and cooling box more efficiently. However, eithier the load of the fan blade or the current draw from rechargeable D cells (Lithium) as the voltage dropped damaged the motor and would not run after fresh batteries were installed.

I've used these for wobble battle bots in our CAD and 3D printing class and for solar cars. I plan many more projects with these affordable, versatile motors.Thes only issue I ran into in soldering the thin wire to other components. It is very thin. Once I got the hang of it, it went well though.

Use them for STEM experiments.

Took a chance on these to replace a Christmas decoration (skating rink with magnets that pull figurines in skating pattern). The motor on the unit went bad and I thought I'd never be able to find a replacement but these looked identical and performed exactly like the motor it replaced. Apparently, many china made products use these motors. Saved me from throwing away a 100.00 item that is no longer available!

Perfect fit and fixed the lid opening issue I had.

They arrived when expected and in perfect condition. I'm very happy with the strength, speed and sound (or lack thereof). They're really quiet. I'll absolutely order again.
