Versatile Motor for STEM and Hobby Use

The Tamiya 76011 Solar Motor 03 is designed for straightforward integration into educational and hobby projects. It accepts input from both solar cells and standard alkaline batteries so you can compare renewable and stored energy in simple demonstrations.

Electrical Compatibility

The motor is compatible with small solar panels around 0.5V to 1.5V and with alkaline battery supplies in the 1.5-3.0V range, enabling experiments that show how voltage and source affect speed and torque.

Practical Classroom and Workshop Uses

Ideal for school workshops and beginner model work, the motor helps illustrate basic wiring, gears and motion. Its uncomplicated setup encourages rapid assembly of demonstration rigs and low risk testing.

Can I use rechargeable cells with this motor?

Yes, you can use rechargeable cells within the stated voltage range, but note that nominal voltages differ from alkaline cells so performance will change accordingly.

Does it need any special wiring to run from a solar panel?

No special wiring is required; use secure leads and consider adding a small switch or diode to prevent backfeed when the panel is shaded.

How should I test the motor safely?

Mount the motor in a bench jig, use a current-limited supply or fresh cells, and avoid prolonged stall conditions to prevent overheating.

Are there simple upgrades for better performance?

Improved mounting, lightweight gearing and higher current power sources will increase output, but ensure any upgrades stay within safe voltage and current limits.
