small homemade electric motor - very fast

An electric motor made with bits and pieces from around the house and some neodymium magnets to help. The hardest thing to find was the brass strips for the connector and brushes which I got from an old multi-socket plug.

do people use bare copper becuase it's a whole lot better than insulated?

[khunkim]

bare copper won't work for the armature

WOW i NEVER! knew a girl so young yet so talented

[khunkim]

Thanks for the nice comments - actually my dad helped me out with some of the tricky bits

where is the magnet here??? can i use any kind of magnet?

[khunkim]

magnets are on both sides of the armature - I used neodymium magnets for stronger magnetic attraction but normal magnets will work quite well
