Hi everyone. I have some DC motors, laying in my garage, for different applications, that I'd want to see if it's possible to modifiy some of the DC motors, like those found in Toyota hybrid packs (blower fans found on almost all Toyota battery packs.
I have disassembled one of the blower fans, thinking i could connect it to a 12V DC source, to see if it works, so tht i can convert the blower, into some sort of blower, for my refrigerator, seeing that these blower fans, move alot of air, cooling battery packs during operation.
I have removed the controller or so from the motor, during disassemble, and applied 12VDC to two of the wires(U and W), leaving V aside. The motor turns for some few seconds, and stops, but would turn again, if i once again tap on the wires.
Is there a way i could make DC motors of such, to work continuously, without using the controller, or ardianor?
PS: have got also electric steering wheel motor, which i intend to modify to power a small pump I'm trying to make.
Picture 1 shows the Rx400h blower fan motor, disassembled
Picture 2 shows the windings on the blower motor exposed.
If you look closely here, you'd see the three wires exposed (UVW).
Picture 3 shows the controller, with 12V indicated on the PCB.
Thanks everyone.
