Feature
The Homopolar Motor
is alive and well!
The Maxwell Society has a video
clip of a simple Homopolar
Motor.
Not all batteries will
work in this application as the magnets are required to be
able to stick to the positive and negative. Duracells or Energizers
batteries are OK. Also note that the battery life in this
application will not be too great.
Build a “roller
type homopolar motor”.
Or a “dangle type
homopolar motor”.
Watch
the video of the “dangle motor”.
