Making Electric Prayer Wheels by SelfPosted Feb-15-09 14:22:14 PST Updated Feb-26-09 13:16:23 PST
I would like to share experience of making electric prayer wheels. It looks like very easy job, but in fact it is very difficulty. Buddha Wheel Company is the oldest maker. In marketing, more than 12 years. Until now, by what I know, in China, Taiwan and Nepal, no one can make a perfect electric prayer wheels. Welcome someone works with us to make perfect. You can get some information of motors from Problems of 110V or 220V AC motors are: (98% makers use these kinds)
You should know paper rolls of prayer wheels are very heavy. For paper roll of 1 our prayer wheels, it need more than 2 pounds force to let it rotate. Ordinary PERMANENT MAGNET TYPE BEARINGLESS MOTOR DC motors are not so powerful. So Buddha Wheel Company invested money to invent motors for electric prayer wheels' specific requirement. The company has the patent in China. You have to design your prayer wheels in balance. If not in balance, because prayer wheels are heavy, the force which put on the motor is large. And can make this kind of motor life time will become short or very short. This is why we design our prayer wheels' shapes like these: http://www.geocities.com/jane_ou_li/bd_maintance.html Not neck. That will very helpful to keep balance. There are reasons why we use these kinds of shapes. Some kinds of traditional prayer wheel shapes are very beautiful. But not ok for motor runing. It is better putting a motor on the top of prayer wheels than putting a motor on the bottom of prayer wheels. ( This why I only sell motor-on-top model in my store. Even though, Buddha Wheel Company make some motor-on-bottom models, but I don't want to sell. ) This is the motors which we sell in store. If you want to buy to make yourself prayer wheels. Fine. But you should know:
Problems of 220V DC PERMANENT MAGNET TYPE BEARINGLESS MOTOR motors are: (One maker in China specially makes for Electric Prayer Wheels)
Problems of other kinds of low voltage DC motors are: We tried, too much noise. Life time is not so long as PERMANENT MAGNET TYPE BEARINGLESS MOTOR. This is reason Buddha Wheel Company chose PERMANENT MAGNET TYPE BEARINGLESS MOTOR. Tips of Smoke OfferingPosted Jan-19-09 20:49:48 PST Updated Feb-16-09 10:33:51 PST I.
