    Some very important bits of information that were missing from this video:
    - The magnets pretty much must be neodymium types. Some 'refrigerator' magnets of the same size, shape an appearance will not be string enough to result in a working motor.
    - While most round neodymium magnets are polarized with N on one face and S on the opposite face, there are indeed identical looking neodymium magnets that are polarized 90 degreed out from when it necessary, and they won't work.
    - The copper wire must be conductive at all points where it touches the end of the battery, and also where it touches the magnet(s). The wire can be plastic insulated or lacquer insulated for the rest of its length, but it is usually best to use completely uninsulated wire.
    - There MUST be an electrical circuit, with current flowing from the tip of the battery, through the wire, and back to the opposite side of the battery via the conductive nickel plating of the magnet(s). It is a LOT of current, as the battery is essentially being short-circuited. Larger batteries can produce the same amount of current for a longer period of time, so a "AAA" cell will last longer doing this than a button cell, a "AA" cell will last even longer, a "C" event more, etc. But regardless, the run time is not very impressive, and a partially drained battery/cell either won't work at all for this, or else the wire will spin slowly.
    - It should be clear from the above that the wire must be making an electrical connection with the magnet(s), but you want to form the wire so it is pressing against the magnet with just enough pressure to assure a good electrical connection, but not any more pressure than that, or the friction will slow the motor down.

      Could you also perhaps explain the function of the magnetic component in the circuit? If I could somehow get the wire from the positive to negative end of the battery do you think it'd still be functional?

    Nice motors! I'd like to see a short, where you do it with thicker wire, and an F-Cell battery. F-Cells can be found in 6-Volt lantern batteries, and I'd recommend getting an Energizer-branded lantern battery, to get 4 of them. Just be a bit careful, cutting off their connection tabs, once the F-Cells are cut out.

  • @SomethingImpromptu
    @SomethingImpromptu 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    If someone was to do this with a very powerful (for instance neodymium) magnet, would it make the wire spin faster? Or will it cause anything dangerous to happen? I googled it & it doesn’t seem like there’s any kind of well-discussed contraindication between (at least lithium) batteries & magnets. But the discussion was mostly around whether it would drain the battery. I was more concerned about whether it could heat up and/or explode the battery lol.

    • @stegususcley2655
      @stegususcley2655 ปีที่แล้ว

      I made this exact experiment using neodymium magnets,and it spins really well. The flat magnets the author is using are neodymium. Ive got the same magnets and a $hit load of various sized Neodymium magnets.
      This experiment is great.A lot of fun...BUT,you wear magnets out rather quickly.It gets expensive.
      One note...
      Batteries are a DC source.
      So,I tried this with DC transformers of varying volts and currents.I couldnt get it to work.A bit of a mystery to me.
      Oh...and as far as batteries exploding...Ive killed many batteries playing around with this,and never had one to explode or even get hot.
