Abstract
When you think of a motor, you may immediately think of a car, but you
actually encounter other motors in your home every day. That's right, if you put on
clean clothes from the washing machine, ate food from the fridge, or used a fan,
you used an electric motor. In this electronics science project, you will make a
simple electric motor with two magnets that "talk" to each other. As they interact,
they will alternate between "liking" each other (pulling together), and "disliking"
each other (pushing away from one another). All that pushing and pulling will create
some serious spinning and that is exactly what a motor is, a spinning axle.
Objective
- Learn how to build a simple electric motor and study how simple changes
affect the motor's rotation.
- Sandpaper, fine-grit
- Magnet wire, enamel-coated
- Magnet
- paper clips (2), metallic
