Cool idea Mr.Chandrahas Aroori. Keep posting creative & ideas, i will try them with my kid.

Thanks

[chandrahas aroori]

Thank you nani maamaa please try and make it.

[rkorampalli]

Nani Mama: I already did vote.

Chandu Bava, When i grow up i will make something i can put on your Ultimate Sander. I & Nanna will also try to make your Ultimate sander at home.

Also give me some good idea to do with small motors. I & Nanna removed small motors from a remote control car.

Untill i grow up, you & me will make things at the ultimate store, Because everything i build will be in Ultimate Store.This Ultimate store is in the middle of whole Florida. You have to come to Florida to see my Ultimate store. Have fun Chandu Bava. Do more creative things. I will send notes like this.

Thanks Chandu Bava

your the first person I have "met" near my age who likes to hack like me.

[chandrahas aroori]

Hello I live to hack!!!What about you

[MODDEDbyBACTERIA]

Indeed, you can stop a CD moving with your fingers easily as little torque - the CD motor drive isn't designed as such, so it's hard to see how the sander will actually sand much. Nice idea though.

[redlizard5]

what is the optical head.

[chandrahas aroori]

It is the part in the middle of the hacked cd drive.identifiable features-lens,moves on a worm gear

[punkhead58]

Wow, very innovative.

[chandrahas aroori]

also please vote in the various competitions

I don't understand why this is in the Survival contest, but it's a good entry for the pocket sized contest. By the way, check out my survival instructable!

[Computothought]

I agree.

[MissouriVillian]

My sentiments precisely. Great entry for pocket-sized.

[chandrahas aroori]

Thank you its my first one and it is awesome

[agis68]

well actually I think there's another (earlier edition) of this hack. Using HDD or DVD-CD player......but its nice idea....

[mikeasaurus]

Neat! How much load can it handle?

[chandrahas aroori]

the motor said 2500 rpm and start time 30s.i'm not sure what you meant by load??

[chandrahas aroori]

The motor said 2500 rpm & start time 30s.i'm not very sure about what you ment by load i'm only 13

Alright, here's what we can figure out. Some of the first things you should know to figure out how 'strong' this sander is are the speed of the device by itself, the radius of the device (center of motor to outside of blade), the amount of mass the sander can handle (try attaching different amounts of weight and find out the least amount of weight needed to stop it when the sander's circular face is pointing toward you and factor gravity in). Using some of these numbers we can figure out just how much torque the sander can exhibit. Torque is basically the rotational force (how hard the sander pushes at an angle) and can be used to calculate how 'strong' your sander is. Now I'm not going to try to explain it all, but it would benefit you to visit the Wikipedia page on Torque. It probably won't be that strong, as the motor is made for lighter objects, and of course the wider the blade, the weaker the force it can exert (basically leverage)....

[chandrahas aroori]

Basically what I learned is that since it is a cd motor the torque is less.So for better results try sanding near the center.This is because- Torque=force*distance. Here the torque is constant and with a decrease in distance the force increases. But with an increase in distance the total force decreases.

[mikeasaurus]

In this case you can think of load as resistance. If you were sanding something you are causing a resistance to the plate spinning, causing the disk to slow down. If you apply too much load to your motor it will slow down and eventually stop.
Commercial sanders compensate for this by having a high torque on the motors they use, since the motor used here was never intended to be impeded I'm wondering how much load it can be under and still effectively work.

[verence]

As it was a CD/DVD player it will have enough power to spin a CD/DVD. And probably not much more. No high torque here. Just enough to get a still CD to move.
