Super simple electric motor

Here is a very simple electric motor I built to try out a few things I have seen on Youtube. It is a combination of others ideas gathered into one device. Thanks to all the people who share their ideas and work, we all benefit.

0:36 How did you make that thing with led diode ?

[Lidmotor]

@rudis323 ----That LED thing is just a small steel bolt with 30ga wire wrapped on it. The LED just attached to the ends of the wire.  The spinning magnets induce a current in the coil and make the LED light up.

nuff sparks, any good on battery life, me thinks not.

[Lidmotor]

sparky---Yes "nice sparks" but not so good on a battery. It is a very inefficient way to spin magnets. Just a fun thing.

Looks like a Newman motor

[Lidmotor]

It looks like a Newman motor but the drive coil on the bottom is just a soild core electromagnet. The motor is very simple but also very inefficient.

@rudis323 LED means light emitting diode so you does have to say LED diode because thats like saying light emitting diode diode

I like it

Congratulations! you show how to make a magnetic lighter

Dang that goes fast

[SBRW1967]

You should make a video taking steps about how to make that
