In this video, we test and compare the thrust power of a mini coreless motor in two different configurations – with gear and without gear. This is a simple but interesting experiment to understand how gears affect the performance of motors, especially in DIY projects and flying toys.
The first setup uses a mini coreless motor connected directly to a propeller. This configuration offers high RPM but limited torque, which can result in fast spinning but lower thrust. We demonstrate how it performs using paper cuttings and real-time motion.
In the second setup, we attach a gear mechanism to the same coreless motor. The gear helps to reduce speed but increase torque, giving more pushing power to the propeller. You’ll clearly see the change in thrust as the paper pieces react differently to the airflow.
This experiment gives a clear idea of the advantages and disadvantages of gear reduction in lightweight motor applications. It’s especially useful for students, hobbyists, and DIY creators working on drones, helicopters, or other motor-driven models.
We use basic switches, wires, and simple materials to complete this setup. Everything is explained step-by-step so you can try it at home with minimal tools and cost.
