With the basic idea of using a brushless DC motor like https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2598206, I wanted a simpler rotor (uses only 9g) and a more robust and water tight exterior. Reducing the complexity also makes it easier to balance at very high rpm.
The motor is mounted with some machine screws and a chunk of wood and glued to the bottom of a canister jar.
The motor is driven by a common motor ESC and PWM controller and supplied with a 12v 5a supply.
