The Beakman Motor

From http://www.josepino.com - This is one of the simplest homemade motors. Originally was created by Beakman features at The Beakman's World. Easy to build and some part needed. This is a cool project! It already won science projects at some Schools.

You can find how to build your own Beakman's Motor and other science projects in my web page: http://www.josepino.com/other_projects/index.pl?beakman_motor.jpc

can you do this with a C battery?

[JosePino]

Yes, it can be done with a C type battery. Do not build this project with a 6V or 9V battery.

[shidoink]

@JosePino why?

[JosePino]

@shidoink Because the prophesy says so.

WARNING if you are on the hunt for copper wire, NEVER look in old TV or MICROWAVEOVENS they have near permanently charged components even after being switched off for a long time,I am talking about MANY 1000's of VOLTS here. Try CAREFULLY stripping some TV coaxial cable (a tv aerial/antenna lead)if you see a tv guy or electrician on your travels, just ask, most will give you a spare scrap bit.

[JosePino]

Great advice.

@PhobiaGuy

we don't know what to say.....

[gregryf]

@shidoink Oops, I'm wrong six is an even number. It's because a nine is a six upside down.

[gregryf]

@shidoink because six and nine are odd numbers

[10JerkinKingz]

what do you need for this becuz i need to build one for a project wha tmaterials do you need ):

[hazelamym]

and what are the practical applications? :)

really though, i love little gizmos like that, you can read about electricity and magnetism but they're just abstract concepts until you can see them actually do something.

[kalahor]

do you have to use magnet wire??
