DIY Single Phase Brushless motor

[LeoTech]

Hello there,

I am currently working on my High School thesis, and I have chosen to do it on the electrical properties and control of a brushless motor in physics.

My idea was to build a simple single phase brushless motor and use it as a test example, to perform several experiments to measure the torque and power used, to compare with my theoretical model of a single phase motor. Any ideas on how I could build that? I have been looking around on google, but I was not able to find a concrete idea on how to actually do it, besides several YT videos showing the finished motor.

In case you are interested, my thesis is on modelling brushless motors - both single and triple phase - and trying to 'optimize' the controllers and possibly the motors themselves based on the model. With a model I mean, a mathematical model for the electrical characteristics, I am trying to avoid the mechanical aspects as much as possible.

Any thoughts?

PS: Neither money nor the acces to tools should be a real problem, but the construction should preferably be kept simple. (My school is paying )
