Abstract: A motor comprising an axle adapted to rotate about an axis; a wound armature fixed to and concentric with the axis; two segmented wheel commutators adapted to conduct electricity across a set of tracks and fixed on opposite ends of the axle concentric with the axis, a motor casing surrounding and enclosing the armature; and a pair of permanent magnets attached opposite one another on the sides of the casing. A pair of bearings with a plurality of wire channels may be fixed to the axle and adapted to rotate with the axle in each casing end cap, each wire channel adapted to pass a wire electrically connected to a segment in one wheel commutator, running across the armature, and connected to a segment of the opposite wheel commutator. Each wheel may consist essentially of conductive segments separated by nonconductive epoxy, with a non-conductive bushing centered therein to receive the axle.
