So I built technically my life's second electric motor. An Axial Flux BLDC motor. Could you use it for something useful? I'm sure it'd do okay as a blender motor or something... Unfortunately I could not test out the motor quite properly, as I believe it would be even more efficient at a higher voltage... nonetheless, it works, not too bad, even. Next time I will also actually put thought into the real electrical design of the motor, as this one was just for fun and a basic learning experience before, one day hopefully taking on the project of making a useful electric motor with more seriousness. (For example a DIY electric bike motor)
