Amazing Electricity!

[98Exclusive]

is copper a electrical conducter ?

[egyengineer86]

@98Exclusive of course it's

[parab01]

I'd rather use the battery in my torch thanks!

[rraminn7]

thats a good way to waste a battery

[monkeys1954]

nice

[idiotmiget]

cool



[berett315]

i think your copper has dandruff

[xXTWILIGHTISKOOLXx]

@liquidchem how?

[SirRamboi]

Why do you need to remove the insulation of the enamelled copper wire?

[Sorry4nothing10]

@SirRamboi yea.....i dont get it neither ...-_-

[gabafabawo]

@SirRamboi This is going to take a bit of explaining. If you don't remove the insulation the copper wire will not be able to conduct electricity. When current flows through something like a wire, it creates a magnetic field around it. This magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet that is sittling on the battery in such a way that causes the coiled wire to spin. Thats the best I can do at explaining it.

youll kill us all

[jibranukk]

amazing

[Eschatus2]

How cute.

[LelouchVBCGZERO]

niice trick, but i was hoping more like lightning bolts.

[Glowworm132]

what gauge did you use for this???

[Baldoxxx4000]

USELESS, doesnt even cut your electric bill....

[TheKaos90]

I usually use my lighter for deisolation ... just burn a little and wipe with the edge of may fingers.

PS:To all noobs , voltage doesn't matter it can be raised or lowered through the inductance principles .. u need 2 solenoids and a pin

[phoeniximperator]

pretty good!

[lXsakuraXkissXl]

magnets.. ^_^ heavenly :)

[TiEEviL]

great

[JW93HB07]

oh i do love magnets :D

my girlfriend thinks that's sad¬¬

she doesn't understand :P

[julixjt]

MEN YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!!!!!!! I am trying to do these and i am stuck in the part of putting the tape and the pins, but whnt I am trying to put the big copper thing the positive and negative things of the battery are smoking hot! SO I HAVE BURNED MY SELF A LOT OF TIMES TRYING TO DO THESE! PLEASE EXPLAIN!

[ramiskuey]

May be because you are striping the whole surface of the ends of the wire, and you are making just a short-circuit and it is just lost power and wire. So to avoid this loss you should only strip the side of the wire that is above in the terminals of the coil when it is verticaly seen. May be is the only one failure i see, can be done following this explanation. greetings everybody ;)

[ramiskuey]

I just wanted to answer to the issue of "julixjt"

[mouser58907]

Yeah you should only strip half the wire, that way for half a cycle the magnetic field is pushing the motor and the other half momentum carries it. Right now the 2nd half is slowing it down. We built one of these in my physics class and we got it to go extremely fast.

[ramiskuey]

Greetings, mouser58907 Where are you from? I got amazed that in your lectures of physics they are teaching that practical way. It is a way to show in an easy way how nature works and how you can use this nature work. Only the fewest teachers in the country i live are doing so. Are you the pupil or teacher? Anyway I think you are lucky to have such system of education. Many greetings ;)

[maxbrad60]

I think it is bouncing on the safety pin due to the unbalanced / off centered nature of the copper wires. Take a close look at the right side copper wire in the video. This affect can also be achieved by sanding only half the insulationon the end of the copper wire.

[Dillon594209]

that awesome!!! i wanna do that!!! do i just need a D battery Some copper wire two safety pens and a nickle?

[Dillon594209]

Never mind.. wow i feel stupid it says so in the beg of video.. i guess i just didn't see it last time..

[0o0oyeah]

dude...its not a nickle......its called a magnet lol

[superultimate456654]

that was cool :)

[alternatenergy]

i wonder if there is a way to make it use alot less enrgy like barely any, considering it oly uses a little any way...

maybe a shorter or longer coil would cause it to draw less energy

[grillerx1]

what up wit da music

[sjh7132]

Most DC motors need to use brushes to reverse the polarity on the windings at the right time to keep it spinning. Do you have any idea why yours doesn't just line up the fields and stop there?

I wonder if it would run better if you took the insulation off of only one side of the wire.

[56622070]

Nice little demonstration.  Good work. Michael.

[bluesfan1994]

i dont see the point lol just to ware a battery out but still gud if ya have the things needed to make it already but i wouldn't buy them just to make it

[StormyKnight4life]

what size battery is that?volatage

[XPLOREanXPLODE]

@ StormyKnight4life:

Just a normal Baby 1,5Volt?

[StormyKnight4life]

hey if u ? the battery try it without it,see it first hand i dare u XP

[totodilefan]

where did you get the magnet and cool vid

[warhawkpro]

wow i did a similar project in 5th grade but we had to put it on a block of wood we cut out

[MilitaryCat3]

go suck on sum balls...bitch

[themetalman92]

how necessary is the battery? wont the magnet by itself do the trick by attracting the wire each time it comes around and keeping it self-sustaining?

[EvilEmpir3]

The battery is completely necessary, the magnetic field crossing the electric field is what is creating the torque to turn the coil.

[xChAnG1996]

does the battery eventually stop workin?

[EvilEmpir3]

Yes it will eventually run out of juice but it will take a long time since there isn't too much current coming out of the thing.

[chicaumuerj]

haha. very good. I did a bigger one when my professor of eletromagnetism in the university asked to do something cool with magnets. I saw in the internet and tryed. worked veeery well. but yours is faster. =)

[cheetawolf]

neat music. neater vid :D

[Christine161423]

can you tell me how this happens for a sciece project.?

[d1drifter87]

research electricity and magnetism... place a magnetic field perpenticular to a running current (cable), this will create a force pushing it either away or towards the magnet (the golden looking thing in the video), thus it creates a torque on that circular coil. cheers.

[GTYOYO]

aesome did u make this?

[JespirProductions]

thank you very mutch your the best 5/5

[thegreatsofmusic]

yeah that song doesn't get annoying at all after 10 videos with it in it lol just joking awesome videos.

[variablestatus]

thanks for the video, good work...

[StevenFortiets]

This is camera trick right?

[StevenFortiets]

This is camera trick right?

[EMERICANSKATE]

idiot

[StevenFortiets]

well i've tried it properly and how he did it and it dosen't work! you should try it so I can prove you it might be camera trick!

[bigt4616]

ive done it and it works great, are you useing the magnetic wire?

[hackmattr]

I've done this when I was six

It works unless you did something wrong

[Zenodilodon]

It's called a homopolar motor and yes this is an actual metheod of making a motor and does work. you must use insulated electro-magnet wire and you must remove the insolation as best as you can. also notice he used a and neodymium disk magnet which has a much stronger pull then a simple ceramic disk magnet.

[Sepero1]

I loved it :)

[cimelaelud]

very cool

[ultimator1]

Great work. Very impressive .
