  • very nice. nice job on the coil as well.

  • Thank you.

    I will call it a victory when I make my motor spin.

    So far no luck, I've been told I need bigger magnets.

  • i had to eliminate the resistor before the pot on my setup before it would spin, im using weak 3 lbs pull ceramic magnets, It spins great, i just set the pot to about 100 ohms as a starting point, i think your magnets are probably plenty strong. check out my vid. with 680 or a 320 ohm resistor my trigger coil just wouldnt switch the transistor on.

  • will you need a switch to tell it to fire.? or does the transistor do that?

  • Hello,

    From what I've read, the whole circuit with the coil acts like an engine.

    First you give the rotor a spin by hand, and when a magnet passes over the coil the small wire or "trigger wire" sends an elecrtic pulse to the transistor which amplifies this pulse and delivers it to the larger wire or "power wire" which pushes the magnet.

    This all happens almost instantaniously.

    This circuit eleminates the need for a reed switch.
