Magnetic Motors

The photo is a magnetic motor that runs by applying a voltage through the system.  There is a brush that will continuously turn on and of the the current in order to produce a torque in one direction.  The video displays a running a motor with a electronic motor force of 3 volts.  The higher the voltage source the faster the motor spins.

Home made Moter

In order to replicate the motor we utilized the wire given and made it into  circular shape with as many turns as possible.  The more amount of turns it had the greater the force in would produce on the wire.  On the positive receiving end of the wire the entire end was sanded off, however on the end of the wire were the current left, only half of the wire was sanded of to replicate the brush from the electric motor.  As a result this created a ON and OFF switch to produce a constant torque in one direction.
