Motors (:

So in class today we made motors. That was pretty cool. We used things like wood, nails, corks, and a part of a pop can and it spun...or it was supposed to, anyway.

Ours worked on the second day, after making some slight changes.

We basically hammered nails into a wood base and tacked the brush onto the base as well. We stuck a kabob stick into a cork and stuck nails in it. Then we wrapped wire around it and hooked the whole thing up.

When the magnets were added (that's what the nails were for) and it was connected to the power source, it spun. (:

And there were sparks.


I thought this was relevant.
