My very own simple motor

Although I had learn this in my Secondary school days, this is the first time I tried it. I think it works pretty well :)



Materials:

• coil of insulated wire
• paper clips for support
• magnet
• batteries and wires
• a base to mount everything

Note: you need to strip HALF the insulation at the ends of the wire.

Old but good video - Frames of Reference

May be too complex for some of you but do give them a try and wonder as you sit there and watch the video: are you stationary or are you actually moving at quite a fast speed?
