Homemade Electric Motor

The coil is about 300-500 turns of 18 gauge magnet wire out of a car alternator. The power is supplied by a dewalt 18 volt drill battery at about 15-16 amps. The contactors are set up to supply power all of the time and the insulation starts to burn after about 10 seconds of running.
(edit) - now with better contactors and timing, the amps are now between 30-50 amps.

Where did you get a magnet that freaking big haha

@xNinjaTofu :)  That's actually only half of the magnet. It broke in two pieces. It was originally a large horseshoe magnet, which provided enough force to hold a person in the air if stuck to a steel beam in the ceiling.
