IT SPINS! Handmade electric motor! Entirely out of wire! They said it couldn't be done, but I have proven -- it merely shouldn't be done!

Photos don't really capture how ridiculously complicated this thing was to build, so I managed to film myself assembling the components too! Very proud of that.

In total, I've been working on this project on and off for roughly two years. This motor is my third version, though I went through something like seven designs of the commutator section (not counting how many failures it took to build a working example of a given design). I'm very proud of getting this to work at all.

Some close-up photos of all the components:

Six-way commutator. As the motor spins, this delivers electricity to only the correct pair of magnets at a time, leaving the other four off.

Magnet coils. I wound these by hand from very thin insulated wire. The center is a spiral of thicker insulated wire (darker orange) that protects the thin stands from the steel core and then wraps around the outside to hold everything in place.

Spring-loaded arms. These deliver electricity from the stationary frame into the rotating axle. They also have to hinge up out of the way or else there's no room to fit the rotor in place during assembly.

All the components laid out together before assembly.

And the full motor in all its glory!

On Watches

I love watches. Wristwatches, pocket watches, clocks. You name it.

Of course, there's always the overwhelming urge to crack them open, to break every single one apart and peer, to tear apart the gears, springs, and cogs.

You can't look at a watch and not immediately think about what's inside.

Right?

But yeah. Watches. Splendid shit.

Ok I finished it

The types of HolPol I can't get enough of 💕...in my head, at least.

-----

1) canon Part 3 HolPol

The main ship. The sexual tension, the rivalry, the jealousy, the enemy-to-lovers trope...the only holpol version that I see them fighting and arguing in, before the lovemaking. It's dysfunctional yet perfect in every sense. I only wished they had more screen time together.

2) half canon Part 3.5 Hol (CDDH) x Part 5 Polnareff

I hc that CDDH Hol did meet up with Part 5 Pol...or at least pre-part 5 Pol before he rode a literal chariot. There's even an au I wholeheartedly supported - Hol joining La Squadra to eliminate the boss, thinking he had offed his beloved Pol, only to be reunited again after he shot Diavolo dead. Love this au because Pol lives ;v;♡

3) semi-canon post-Part 5 HolPol

This is the first au I came up with. Unlike the one above, Hol had lost Pol pre-Post 5 and went on a hunt for him, only to run into a group of thieves who infiltrated Passione (now led by Giorno) to steal the arrowhead. Things happened, Pol somehow had his turtle body transformed into a human (it's an OC's Stand power...I can elaborate if you're interested), and they both went on an adventure from Italy to Germany to get the arrowhead back. Not entirely a romantic HolPol story...I just want them to go on a JoJo-like adventure for once.

4) Steampunk/Post-apocalyptic AU (gunslinger Hol x swordsman Pol)

This came up on a whim. I didn't extend it much other than Hol was a hired gun who teamed up with engineer Avdol and their pet Iggy, going from one location to another for jobs. Meanwhile, Pol was on a mission to escort the priest Kakyoin to a city. They met, fought together, kiss, bed wrestle, so on and so forth...

5) Fantasy/Medieval AU (knight Pol x prince Hol)

This started with a mix of my own reading about tarot cards and some neat fanarts of Pol in an armour and Hol on a royal throne. Then my hands got itchy and I played with ChatGPT with this idea. The AI gave me a handful of short stories that eventually made me fell in love with this au. Somehow their love story also included Avdol as a royal advisor, Jotaro as another knight, and Dio as the enemy warlord.

6) Domestic/Modern AU HolPol

I know this is a boring au, but hear me out. Pol, a fashionista, socialite city boy, in love with Hol, a rugged, charming rancher from the mountains. Two different worlds, yet they made a cozy, loving household together. Boingo and Sherry would be supporting them a lot, if not join in their shenanigans. I will forever gush with this au, and anyone's interpretation of this au , for me, is hella valid.

Here's to more HolPol next year! :D

brigette's fashion show: the girls through the decades!!!!!!! indirectly inspired by @hssprimefan's "brigette's happy ending".

i’ve been meaning to do something like this since 2022 but i never got around to it. but here we are: 20s katherine, 30s mac (@ih8harley’s mc), 40s sakura, 50s kallie, 60s blair, 70s mia, 80s koh, 90s autumn and 00s payton!! i tried sticking to their colour palettes because i thought it’d be fun.

[applepixls]

ok-

impulse of the sv variety. we need a chat, sir.

in guess the build he'll make thumb people and sloths that look like cows and then he'll just turn around and build the flipping acropolis 3 times over stylized with an i and make a thumbnail with shaders and everything.

[vxmpyrx]

i must post content so for rn the post is this fit from last night

[crazymecjc]

in for repairs.

[phoenixyfriend]

I got a fashion sketchbook (affiliate link), which is basically a sketchbook that has very, very pale lines in the shape of an exaggerated human figure that a person can then draw clothes onto without worrying about having to draw a person first.

I do wish there was some more body diversity in this, but it's got so many pages that I'looking forward to messing around with designs anyway, even if I have no idea what I'm doing and am only sort of decent at it.

Obvious first sketch was. uh. Steampunky.

(You can see those faint figural lines in a few places, most notably the bikini area.)

with each passing day i understand less about when the layton series is meant to take place. technically vr was first invented in 1968... but these goggles? this game cartridge??

Outfit boards for Fabian and Karina the adopted kids of Alice x Pinocchio please ?

Outfit Boards:

(Bonus) Moodboards:

(Bonus) Little Drabble/Story:

Considering that flowers don't have legs, it really shouldn't have been all that surprising that not one but two Wonderland flowers-turned-children walked so poorly that they tripped each other into falling down...up?...through the rabbit hole.

But it still surprised boy-flower and girl flower immensely when they did.

Not as much as it surprised Pinocchio and Alice when two mostly bare, greenish children around two or three appeared in their garden—clinging to one another and tripping as they tried and failed to stand.

Children who wouldn't eat anything other than beans for the first few months after they took them in and children who spoke a strange short of gibberish that only Alice really understood.

But it was a nice surprise in the end, because Alice and Pinocchio's family of four turned into a family of six overnight: and boy-flower and girl-flower turned into Fabian Orlando Collodi-Rossi-Liddell and Karina Gretchen Collodi-Rossi-Liddell.

I feel like Nimona and Jim Hawkins would be friends.
