Science entry: motors

My science project is based on motors. I am doing my project with another classmate: Giulio.

Motors

may seem complex but really aren't. To make a motor you need a battery, a pen, a magnet, a 60cm wire, a rubber band and two paper clips. First you bend them to make a W with them. Then, with a rubber band you attach one paperclip on the positive (+) of the battery and the second on the negative (-) sign of the battery. Then you put the magnet on the battery. It will stick because of its magnetic field. Then you will coil the wire around a pen. After this, the wire will be coiled up, and you will uncoil 5cm on each of the two ends of the wire. Then you will remove 2cm of the insulation from each of the two ends of the wire. Then you will put the coil of wire on hte two paper clips and it will start spinning. If you want to make it stop you just need to take the coil of wire away from the paperclips.
