You'll be using the electrical energy from a battery to produce mechanical energy that turns a coil. This is a very simplified version of motors found in household appliances, power tools, computer disk drives, and many of the other devices that make your life easier! STEPS Make the magnetic coil. Take a thin-coated wire and wrap it 10 times around the edge of a paper tube, leaving a few inches of loose wire at the start and end of the coil. Carefully take the coil off the tube and wrap the ends of the wire around the coil at opposite points of the circle. Add some tape to help keep the coil together if needed. Once you have the coil secure and balanced, you can cut off excess wire leaving only an inch on either side. Start making the base. Poke two holes in a plastic cup on either side using thumbtack, one half an inch from the top, the other half an inch from the bottom. If you don't have a plastic cup, a styrofoam or paper cup will work too. **End Summary** Topics: how to]]> make]]> electric]]> motor]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> <a href= http://www.megamallplus.com > <b>MegaMallPlus.com</b></a> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:52:09 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-To-Make-A-Simple-Electric-Motor/817400
