How I break in and maintain my brushed motors.

I use the battery method and break them in while watching tv.

What is a brushed motor?

If you take a convert an old PC power supply (can be an old POS) You can make a bench power supply you can use with 12V, 5V and 3.3V leads. I break mine in using water also but I hook it up to the 3.3V lead of my bench PSU. Takes a little longer at 3.3V but you dont have to worry about it overheating or using batteries etc. Just food for thought

Omg... I never thought about that. I have a pile of those things. Power went out a few minutes ago. When it comes back I'm digging in my storage to get one!

That is a lot newer of a PSU than I'll be using. I have a bunch of old Dells from early 2000's I'll tear one out of. I'm no stranger to this short of thing, but great video none the less!

Computer PSUs havent changed much if at all over the last 20 years.

I have a old school dyno that I can adjust voltage from 0-22volts put it on 1.5 with timer set at 30 minutes in glass of green anti freeze and let it do its thing .I then put it in cyclone chamber 100mph close case wind tunnel has activated carbon in bottom layer with shame wow layer to absorb any moisture. and let it do its thing then lube it ...
