Homopolar motor




The battery was placed upside down. The magnet is at the bottom. The copper wire was exposed at the contact point. Go to dealextreme.com to get good RE magnets.

Thanks to 9W2AXN and 9W2BIL.

Update on latest project.


Looks over sized.
Winding supposed to be 20" long but now 27".

:-}









Drilled 3, 1mm holes and threaded ends of the wire to get tension on the windings.










The remaining wire comes out from then inner side of the tube.
