Simple Motor In Seconds

Hi! this is a small project for the kids, it very simple and will cost you zero.
With that it will help you to understand how the motors work.
You just need this four things
(1):An wire of about 5-6 inch (you can get it from scrap in your house).
(2):A magnet round magnet is the one which i prefer. (you can get it from an small speaker)
(3):1.5v Battery cell (you can take out remote battery for few minutes)
(4):A iron nail (any size will do)





OK Now we have get what we want.

Let's start.

Attach the strong magnet to the clean iron nail on head.

Combine this assembly with the battery on its positive side (Nail tip pointing towards battery)

Now take the copper wire and connect it to the 1.5v Battery on its negative side & touch the other end to the magnet.

Now the magnet and the nail will start spinning.

  2. The above motor shown is an type of homopolar motor that works without the need for a commutator, this motor is driven by the external magnetic field. The current carriers in the conductor experience a push that is perpendicular to both their velocity and to the external magnetic field. This force induces a torque around the axis of rotation, which keep it turning.
    The motor shown above is not used in practical application it is just for learning purpose.
