ok, forget those wires from before, , directly From the coils I have Pink , white , grey, red. tried to connect in many ways , got nothing out , think about how exactly they have to be connected and do I need anything extra . thank you for your help.The problem is not knowing what does what. I have a small motor laying here from a CD / DVD player. Looking at it I can figure out I have three lines to the coils (3 phases) and 6 lines which go to three hall effect sensors. All of these things can be configured different depending on what the lines do and things like leads for sensors. I have a few old VCRs laying around that I was going to trash, I should rip one apart and check out the motor. Without actually seeing what you have it's about impossible to guess what lines do what.

Well we know you are trying to make a small generator out of a old VCR tape head motor. After that we have no idea what you are spinning it with or how fast or what all you have still connected or disconnected from the actual windings.I can't believe there is no one who knows this trough and trough. that's strange.
I'm just trying t make this motor give something out, i/m still spinning it with hand. must give me something out if it can work as a generator . i will be happy with 0000,1. must give me something .Well we know you are trying to make a small generator out of a old VCR tape head motor.

VCR's are an antiquated technology and the engineers that worked with them have long gone to their reward. Why should it surprise you?ok, I will talk to you tomorrow then , i will take a better look of this one too. i just don't get it.
you let me know when you get that one . thanks again.

i'm more frustrated than surprised. that no one knows how to connect it to be a generator . it's funny.VCR's are an antiquated technology and the engineers that worked with them have long gone to their reward. Why should it surprise you?
I had a career that spanned half a century and never encountered a VCR motor as a component. Since most of the VCR's and their motors were designed in Asia starting in about 1978, it hardly surprises me that few, if any, US engineers, including myself, have ever considered one of them as a component.i'm more frustrated than surprised. that no one knows how to connect it to be a generator . it's funny.
I was going to say that after we heard back from the TS.I have not personally delved into those motors, But anytime a magnet crosses a coil it generates a voltage. You must have something not quite connected correctly. Even the stepper motor types generate.
Just Google Wind Generator from VCR motor, you will get rafts of examples!!

thank you Max, that was helpful , i always googled vcr generators only , never tried looking under wind turbines from it..I have not personally delved into those motors, But anytime a magnet crosses a coil it generates a voltage. You must have something not quite connected correctly. Even the stepper motor types generate.
