Re: Drozd Blackbird "Sergey's board - 2" (9-24V, 400-2000 RPM, Full auto, 4-12 m Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper The 380 I'm using now? No way, it's slower than the original motor, it's only 3600rpm @ 12v, so it's 300kv. Slower, but it's happy as a clam at full battery voltage. Got the jumper bypass on my original Sergy board, awaiting the arrival of the new one. Mag runs great, and it's actually quiter. I agree, though, 8000rpm is way too much, that would be twice as fast as the original. If I linked to one that says that, check how high the rated voltage is, 8000rpm @ 24v = 333.3kv, same as 4000rpm @ 12v = 333.33kv, the big difference is that the former CAN take 24v, IF we should so choose, and we won't be pushing it running at 15v, like with the latter. --- In my experience, the secret to happiness is learning to sort out the occasional good idea from an endless body of bad ones.

If you put the jumper in another position the 15 volts regulator will be bypassed so more voltage can be applied to the motor when necessary. The board can cope with the increased current.

I think this is because of how many wraps around the stator, or "turns" the wire makes. I think that it has to be a relative ratio, then, where the one that spins slower makes more torque than the fast one, I expect some kind of tradeoff. So I'm going to get to the bottom of that, next. I want to wind my own motor really bad, now, for some reason. I think I'll start by measuring the resistance through the stators, next, and go from there. DUBB, who makes that motor, and whats the model# ? "SUPER TACK", and it says "273" and "256". It has nice, fat, carbon brushes, and a 5 pole armature and stator. Nice motor, but too fast.

Re: Drozd Blackbird "Sergey's board - 2" (9-24V, 400-2000 RPM, Full auto, 4-12 m Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper I'm getting a bit confused which thread to continue my motor madness in, but this seems like a good place, since the new 2000 rpm board is going to be the pinnacle of magazine motor load, and it might be the only way to do it, is change the motor. The original is rated to do 4000 rpm @ 12v, but the new board will give it 15 to compensate. So keeping that speed in mind, and looking for motors that are close to the same speed, larger, and or rated for higher voltage, but smaller than a 380, so it will fit: http://cgi.ebay.com/Small-DC-Electric-Motor-12-24VDC-4000-rpm-34-g-cm-M50-/350457750188?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5198e8e2ac I like this one, it looks like the perfect replacement. It's the same speed, it's just bigger, so it makes more torque, and it's rated for the voltage. And it'll fit without any work. http://cgi.ebay.com/Small-DC-Electric-Motor-9-30-VDC-4930-rpm-44-g-cm-M24-/350460222823?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51990e9d67 This one is a little faster, and makes a tiny bit more torque. This next one is what I have in mine now. It's a 380, so it required a lot of grinding and just barely fit. And it's a little slow, so I'm giving it 21v, even though it's only supposed to take 15v, but it doesnt smell burning, and runs great, I love it. Lots of torque in that big motor. And would you believe that it's quieter, now? Go figure. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230538474989&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT --- In my experience, the secret to happiness is learning to sort out the occasional good idea from an endless body of bad ones.

Re: Drozd Blackbird "Sergey's board - 2" (9-24V, 400-2000 RPM, Full auto, 4-12 m Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper Did more testing today. I went up to 21v with my prototype mag. What I have found is .....complexity.... Folks, ...We have a LOT of testing to do! I have found that the higher the voltage, the better for 2000 rpm, for one. (expected) Also at a given voltage, start with the LOWEST pot adjustment and work up to the "sweet spot" for that given voltage, rpm rate, and PRESSURE. At 21v, 1200 psi and 2000 rpm today, I got best results at a pot setting of 5. The higher I went with the pot adjustment, the more air shots I got. I am seeing that at high psi and 1600-2000 rpm, the higher the pot adjustment, the more "air shots" happen. But I can really feel it out with my prototype mag with the Nichibo motor that is rated for the higher rpm feed. Sooooo, .....When you use the stock Blackbird mag, use the highest voltage you can (15-16v) and use the lowest pot adjustment possible and acceptable for the pressure you are using. You will ALL just have to experiment! Best results will have to be worked out for each voltage input and pressure used, and pot adjustment will have to be worked out for EACH change in voltage and pressure. This will take a lot of testing for us all. I have not gone to any scientific note taking. Just observations. But I'll Tell ya all, ...I'm still having a lot of fun testing! BBBRRRRRAAAAAPPPPPP!!!! It may be a little while, since I am still editing, but the test video will be coming soon! Just need a rainy day to keep me inside! Still go six hours of editing to do!

We used the RF-370CA-15370 that has very close specs to the 'bay motor in your link. The brushes weren't as robust as the Nichibo and MD5 motors, and I believe Cam burnt one up pretty quickly. That's when we switched to the Nichibo and MD5. My personal preference is still the Nichibo QJT-360S-14280 motor followed by the MD5. They have nice big brushes, plenty of torque, and good rpm for the application. I posted the motor rpms I was getting at a couple of voltages on the "New Mag Development" thread. The Nichibo motor spec sheet shows 6200 rpm at 12 volts and 12500 at 24 volts, so voltage and gearing puts it right in the game. The torque is good in the speed range we need. If someone has their BB mag apart, can you check to see how much space is available for the motor (diameter and length). I don't recall the BB mag gear ratio, but I was thinking it was about 2.7:1. TBK Agreed. Those motors have carbon brushes. Better all around. The Blackbird mag has metal brushes. It will burn out quickly at higher voltages. BE WARNED. We have already chosen motors that will fit the Blackbird from past research. I'll post later. Both the Nichibo motor and the MD5 are larger than the Blackbird's motor. Cutting may be needed for a fit. I'll measure tomorrow morning. The voltage control circuit is going to be very useful. ---Cam --- 2010 DROZD TACTICAL ASSAULT RIFLE: 2010 regular Drozd, 23" JimC tactical rifle barrel, JimC AR stock, Leapers 3-9x32 "Bug Buster" scope, Walther tactical laser/light combo, Fab Defense T-Pod tactical foregrip, Sergey's 2000rpm custom full-auto circuit board, Prototype AR style 9500 round dual drum magazine

Re: Drozd Blackbird "Sergey's board - 2" (9-24V, 400-2000 RPM, Full auto, 4-12 m Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper I have no clue. I found it at Radio Shack, whilst mindlessly digging around, while I was really trying to remember that other thing that I always forget when I go there. I hate when that happens. And sometimes I am looking for something like this, that I won't know what it is until I find it. Anyway, it just said 9v to 18 v, and was otherwise identical in every way. Clearly, it would fit. But that motor really didn't work out at all. I have a 380 motor that matches the rpm of the original bb motor, I will probably mess with that, next. I think I tried putting that in, once, but I don't recall how that turned out. I guess I'll have to find out the hard way, again. Funny, the motor in my old Dremel "mini mite", 4.5v, is the same size as the 380, but will make 10,000 rpm @ 4.5v, 12v will smoke it. I'm not entirely sure if what we will need is more speed, or more torque, and if everything else is even, we have to trade one for the other. This is why I think getting that 380 size motor, or one that has the right speed, is the best answer, since it will gain a lot of torque, just by virtue of having more "flywheel" mass, that will compensate for the tourque lost by increasing the speed. I have never seen brushed electric motors associated with the expression, but brushless motors refer to the rpm to voltage ratio as "kv", ex: 1000kv means 1000 rpm per volt, so at 6v it makes 6000 rpm, and at 9v it makes 9000 rpm. --- In my experience, the secret to happiness is learning to sort out the occasional good idea from an endless body of bad ones.

Tbkahuna, the Nichibo motor seems to work well with Sergey's SB-2 board. I need to continue to refine the feed on my prototype, but your prototype should SURPASS mine!! You are in for a real treat! Sergey, FANTASTIC!! Wait until you and EVERYONE takes a gander at my new video that will come soon! I was nearly "Vaporizing" beer bottles today. ....Holy Fuck@n' Shitzen!!!!!!!! The mod I did with the mag release, to hold my HEAVY prototype mag in place works FLAWLESS!! Accuracy has increased!! Much tighter groupings at 50 feet! NO mag movement AT ALL! WOW! I swear I can HEAR the difference! Gotta say, Holy F*ck!! Crazy rate of fire! I will shoot video immediately (as weather permits). I SURE hope all of you that gets SB-2 does the same! Last note to throw in: Still be warned: The Blackbird mag's motor will NOT keep up at long sustained bursts! So DON'T give Sergey a hard time about it!!!!!!! This new board needs LOTS of experimentation. 3 round bursts seem to work ok at the max. I really don't want anyone to push voltage and BURN out the BB mag's motor. Especially since no replacement parts are available yet! Other points for Sergey: VERY nice evolution, my friend! All is working just great! Gotta say, your "little" touches are great! ...I mean: I love the "neon" blue new power-on light. Haven't seen quite that color for blue LED before. My prototype mag is not having the "run-away" motor with the extra electrolytic capacitor you added. THANKS!

Re: Drozd Blackbird "Sergey's board - 2" (9-24V, 400-2000 RPM, Full auto, 4-12 m Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper The way I did mine with the flat contacts made from the sheet copper, they work best with one set over the other, I need a total of four, since I batteries in the stock, too. That puts on set over the other at the contact area (that part of the handle), that's harder to wire. The last configuration I used involved more of that copper sheet, so the "wires" were flat, and routed around the first set of contacts. Pain in the ass. And I don't want it to fit together too tight, either. 750 on a small block? Run that with your dual breaker points ignition, too. Just avoid mud puddles, and smog tests. Personally, I retrofit with electronic fuel injection, and a programmable performance management system (the computer). Inspired by the ZR-1 Corvette, with it's dual injector system, I like to mount up 2 set of injectors, fed independantly from their own pumps and tanks. The small set goes to the fuel tank, while the large set is fed from a fuel cell in the trunk, with nitromethane, and since the computer will have saveable preset "curves", one can be the nitromethane setting. It won't last more than a minute or so, under full throttle, at the most, but it'll deffinately make assholios challanging at red lights sorry they picked you to mess with. The big difference is these, is that gasoline has a stoichiometric ratio of 14.7 parts fuel, to one part air, where nitromethane carries a bunch of it's own oxygen supply, and has a stoichiometric ratio of just 1.7 to 1, so you will burn about 8 times more of it, in the same ammout of revs as you would in a gasoline engine. Nitro funny cars burn 14 gallons of nitromethane in 7 seconds, and don't have radiators, pouring 14 gallons of cool alcohol into the combustion chambers cools the motor down really quick, thats why they let them idle for a long time before they line up on the starting line: get them hot, first. Is that cheating, a second fuel system? --- In my experience, the secret to happiness is learning to sort out the occasional good idea from an endless body of bad ones.

What does CB stand for? I was calling it SB-2 for Sergey Board 2. Sergey- is that the same small 900 rpm board that I have? I wish I could get a better recording of the sound, especially with the bigger valve. It's a deeper sound. The regular drozd valve sounds cool, too, though. I wanted to do a video of the actual firing with the blackbird mag, but that was too much to do with just two hands. Yes, I was getting airshots with longer bursts and could hear the mag "filling up" after the air shots. In addition to making the new mag that will be able to do 2000 rpm in .177 and .236 caliber, I think I can make the Blackbird mag run at that firing rate with a couple of changes. But, of course, we'll have to see if that pans out. TBK Heh, Heh. Yep, movin' quick! "CB" is for circuit board. I like SB-2 better though. Lets stick to that designation. Really the sound was clear enough. Do you have a camera tripod you can mount to you camera? And, What camera model are you using? It's clearer than that piece of crap old Sony I'm using! Keep the video's coming. Really makes things x-citin'!! I agree with you about a few simple fixes to get the feed right. First thing to do is do the jumper wire for direct battery voltage to the mag motor.
