  • I have black magnets and it doesn´t work. They have to be silver??

    I have only very very small silver magnets - they are not bigger than the small end of the battery - I tried it - and suddenly my finger was on the wire and it became very hot - also the battery was very hot, but the wire didn´t spinned.

    Has anybody a tip?

    Thanks

  • No, they don't have to be. I had to cover my magnets with aluminum foil and it worked fine but make sure it's smooth or the friction will slow it down.

  • Homo means gay in Finland! xD

  • @IkxGameplayer in belgium to xD

  • what type of wire is that

  • Its just non insulated copper wire

  • magnets

    but if they are silver they are rare-earth magnets

  • wow you made it go fast. this is well good

  • would the effect change if i put 5 vires instead of one long???

  • as long as it closes the circuit and is able to rotate, it should work.

  • If you were to leave the magnet on the battery overnight would it drain the battery?

    I dont happen to have a magnet here so just asking. Thanks.

  • Yes, If you left it going overnight the battery will eventually drain.. but it uses very little power so the battery does last longer than you would expect.

  • thanks.

  • That is so homo :)

  • Yeah.. LOL .. who names this stuff?..

  • nice, best one i have seen!

  • i need some of those neodymium magnets so i can do that

  • How long will the motor go on a fully charged battery.?

    10 minutes?

  • Let me try it.. I will report back soon..

  • I konow a motor -_- ^^ my mistake

  • In the real wolrd is it used there? (serious ;) )

  • Yes in the real world we use these every day.. they are called DC motors. Take a look inside every electrical motor and you will find magnets, copper wire and to make it all run, a power source. I'm just playing around with an over simplified version here.. It's not rocket science.. lol

  • true, modern marvels even says magnets are used in basically everything

  • can u post a drawn guidance with some words? ? (im german)^^ very nice!!

  • It's very simple guys.. watch when I stop it from spinning near the end of the video.. you can see how I bent the copper wire.. Just do it the same kind of way. The key again is to have one end contact the battery top while the other two ends contact the magnets and it will begin to spin. If yours doent spin right away check tto see it will spin freely by hand if it doesn't your wires around the magnet might be too tight... If I get time I will take a video showing the parts..

  • thx!, but first i must find the right magnets

  • is the wire without interruption ?

  • If you made a letter "M" out of the wire and just made the two ends wrap around the magnet it will pretty much work.. you will just have to fiddle with it to get it to clear the battery.

  • it works !! :D

  • gwoon te lauw..

  • how do you do this???

  • how long can it run?

  • I guess it will run until the battery dies.. I do have a horizontal one that I think would run for months on one small battery. see my homopolar motor horizontal version video.. I will be uploading a few more vids of showing how I think I could get months..

  • use an antimatter battery with that magnet and you'll produce a real diehard that will keep going...and going...and going...  very nice, r2020

  • There's something intriguing and beautiful about simplicity. Well done.

  • Thanks! I just did a few more if you check my vids..

  • sweet

  • isnt that the same as the earths magnetic poles?

  • gotta get some copper wire now!

  • that is neat, how do you make one?

  • all you need are two earth magnets, a AA battery and a piece of copper wire. Bend the wire so that it makes contact with the top of the battery and the other ends contact the magnets.. Where the wires wrap around the magnets it should be loose enough to spin but tight enough to make contact.. pretty simple stuff here.. stay tuned for more designs

  • dat was cool
