Default RE: brushless motors out of old cd rom drives
ORIGINAL: Spaceclam

smokingcrater,
a 3 armed brushless motor will work just fine. it will spin very fast, and not have a lot of torque. the only limit to the number of stator arms you can have is that it must be divisible by 3. i have a couple 24 pole stators and those work just fine.
sorry, brain took a little vacation there. I hadn't even heard of a 3 arm cd rom motor (and I've ripped apart quite a few!)
