Homopolar Motor With Five Speed Manual Stick-Shift

The World's Simplest Motor mated to the World's Simplest 5-Speed Shifter.

Watch me assemble a 5-speed manual shift homopolar motor...and go through the gears!

This homopolar motor uses a neodymium magnet, a battery and a conductor. It works similar to the 150-year old electric homopolar motor invented by Michael Faraday, and works by the principle of the Lorentz force, discovered after Faraday died.

The Lorenz force law states that a charge moving in a uniform magnetic field experiences a force at right angles to both the field and the direction of the current flow.

For Homopolar Motor Kits, with 3 magnets and 6 feet of copper wire, order from the good folks at the American Stirling Engine website: http://www.stirlingengine.com/ecommerce/product.tcl?usca_p=t&product_id=93

Mrfixitrick buys neodymium magnets at K&J Magnetics:

u.s. coins arnt magnetic what can i do

[MrfixitRick]

@Mrshotshell

use steel washers or magic shop coins

Do you smoke cigarettes ?

[MrfixitRick]

@Tabmuryn

Um, no, the smoke from cigarettes gives me an instant headache that doesn't go away for days. I have smoked them in a past life, decades ago.

where are those coins from? They look pretty similar to argetinian coins lol

[MrfixitRick]

@PlanetaJuegosPC

Canadian coins!

@2608adrian

You must think homogenized milk is gay too??

[Tabmuryn]

@MrfixitRick Hmm ok , the reason why i asked you about it was your voice :)

Greet from Poland :)

@PlanetaJuegosPC the last coin looks like the 2 dollar coin from mexico

@MrfixitRick

What different kinds of magnets are there? Are the neodymium ones the only ones used in these motors?

@countzandr

Elegant comment, thank-you.
