little electric motor rotors (or stators)

Post by Rich Jordan »

Anyone know where to get very cheap lots of computer fans? Size doesn't matter within reason, new/used doesn't matter, even not working (so long as not burned or smashed), DC, not A/C. I remember seeing them on Ebay in the not too distant past but now they're pretty pricey.

We want them for the rotors inside them (they'll get used in artsy projects).

I may also look for old CDROM (1 - 4X) and floppy drives, if dirt cheap; they often had a stator that looked like a small radial engine. Two VS80 DLT drives I disassembled had a 12-coil stator that was over 3" inner diameter and look great in one of the projects.

Example (still attached to the board)
