Abstract
GA homopolar motor concept model
MEMS structure
introduction
 First invented in 1821 by the
famous ninetieth century
English scientist Michael
Faraday (1791-1867), he built a
type of electric motor which
nowadays is referred to as a
homopolar motor.

introduction
What is “Homopolar” ?
->
Requiring only the same electric polarity for its
operation, substituting the word “same” with its
Greek equivalent homos one arrives at the name
homopolar.
introduction
Homopolar motor
 Current, magnetic field and magnetic force directions.
Here the exerted torque causes the disc to rotate in
an anti-clockwise direction.

general DC motor
introduction
Homopolar DC motor compared with other DC motors
Advantage
Disadvantage
simple
high current requirement which is
typically mitigated by using
superconducting wires
compact
no force ripple
do not require current or magnetic
field controllers
The liquid rotor simplifies electrical connection to the
rotating part and reduces friction and power loss.
Introduction
• Homopolar Motor,made with
drywall screw, alkaline cell, wire,
and neodymium disk magnet.
The screw and magnet contact

are held up by magnetic
attraction.

• The homopolar micromotor
consists of a mercury droplet
as the liquid rotor.

The magnet diameter should be as big as possible.
The distance between the magnet surface and bottom of
the mercury droplet should be kept at a minimum.
Increasing the mass of the thickness of the top silicon
does not change the electromagnetic force.

the micromotor can rotate much
faster than what is indicate in the
figure(300 round per minute (rpm))
Conclusions
 Successfully simulated and fabricated a homopolar
micromotor with a liquid rotor.
 The simulation result show that important
parameters in designing the micromotor are the
magnet diameter and the thickness of the bottom
silicon which controls the distance between the
surface and the bottom the magnet metal liquid.
 The other important parameter to increase both
torque and rpm is the size of the hole in the top
silicon which control the path length in the force
equation.
