When two neodymium disc magnets with like poles facing one another are attached to either end of a AA-battery, on dropping a copper connecting wire in the shape of the letter U onto the rims of each disc causes current to flow and results in magnetic forces acting on either wheel. The resultant magnetic torque arising from each force causes the arrangement to roll off with considerable speed.
