MAKE AN ELECTRIC MOTOR



>How fast can you make it go?










1
   


> Get two peices of bearing wire and make them into U shaped peices to fit into the holes in the base.
Push a U through the holes for each end of the base.














2
   


> Bend the holders into one side of each U













3
   


> Bend the other side of each U to make a battery holder.













4
   


> Strip 2cm of insulation off each end of the armature wire.













5
   


> Coil the armature wire into a circle.
Wrap one end so that only stripped wire comes off the loop.
Wrap the other end so that 2cm of insulated wire sticks off the loop.
On the side with the insulated wire sticking out, fold the bare wire along side of the stripped wire.














6
   


> Place magnet on base between the two bearing wires.













7
   


> Place armature on bearing wire, give it a flick to start it spinning.
If it does not run, slightly twist the folded over end of the armature coil
