Electronics - Aquaponics - Motor woes

I found out what was wrong with my motor.

I'll start that again.

I've been having trouble with my motor.

I opened it up and found what the problem is.

Too many parts inside just rattling around doing nothing.

I'm trying to explain to them that everyone has to pull their weight, otherwise nothing gets done.

So far they are ignoring me.



It's hard to fix something when you have no idea what it looked like before it was broken. Firstly, the bit of metal on the end of the yellow wire has to fit through a hole that's half the size of the bit of metal. But it did just fall out through that hole.

Clearly someone's being funny.

There are two bent bits or copper that look like they make contact with the shaft, but I cant see how they could without wearing out, But then, they are actually worn, or at least they look worn. but if there are magnets on the outside that don't have power going to them, and a rotating shaft with copper coils that gets it's power through these copper bits, why not just build the thing inside out, with the coils on the outside, stationary bit, and the fixed magnets on the inside. That way you would avoid the need to put power through a rotating shaft.

I must be missing something
