Friction Motor

Friction Motor – High‑Speed Flywheel Drive for Model Vehicle Projects

This metal Friction Motor uses three internal flywheels to store kinetic energy, allowing model vehicles to be propelled forward without batteries or motors. Its durable design makes it ideal for classroom demonstrations and STEM engineering tasks.

The unit includes a 4 × 110mm drive axle and features a compact metal housing for reliability and stability.

Key Features

• Three flywheel system for strong stored energy release
• 4 × 110mm drive axle included
• Metal body for durability
• Two fixing holes for easy mounting
• Compact size (approx. 58 × 24 × 20mm)

How It Can Be Used in Design & Technology Lessons

• Designing friction‑powered cars and kinetic toys
• Teaching energy storage and transfer
• Understanding rotational inertia through flywheels
• Model construction with simple mechanical systems
• STEM challenges exploring motion without electricity

This compact motor helps students explore motion and energy in a fun, engaging way.
