what type of wire is that

[TheB3e]

Its just non insulated copper wire

[qwertttytydertrt]

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

[TheB3e]

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

[hwymadness850]

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.

[TheB3e]

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.

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.

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
