Bill! I will make one of these for Oscar. A boy needs to see this kind of thing to experience the wonder of nature's forces. I'll shoot a vid of it for you.
how many loops did you make on your wire? What other factors should i consider to make the coil turn on its own? pls reply i really need this for my physics project
I have made one of these 12 years ago, there was an illustration of it in one of the science books for some middle school, trouble is, whoever wrote the article did not mention to strip the enamel from one side only, neither the instructor nor any of the students could figure out why the thing would not run, I have told to stop scraping the entire insulation, and do only one side like 180 Degrees arc, sure enough, it worked great !
The key is taking the enamel insulation off ONLY one side of the wire. So when the metal makes contact with the cradle/terminals, the coil is ganetized and gets a jolt of torque from the rectangular bar magnet below. Intertia then carries it around until it gets another jolt. etc. etc. See what I mean?

Also, what is the thickness of your wire?

The thing would be--to use this to power appliances to clean your house. Also cook breakfast. Surely that would be possible.
Wait. Oops. Then it wouldn't be trivial. It would be the Crucial Electric Motor.

you strip one side completely, and the other side on half of it.

Im with ya there! Nothing was mentioned about removing the enable...all those trips to radio shack in vain to buy more wire!

Fun and easy to make. I've made a handful of these in my time :). I like how you added the propeller.

How does it work since it doesn't have commutation of the coil?

Yes. It gets an impulse on part of the spin. But you have to be careful were you scrape the enamel off. Thanks!
