Keep up the good work! ------ Name: Hubert BAZIN Address: Hubert.Bazin@wanadoo.fr From: Rouen, France Comments: I have printed the page tonight; I will make the motor tomorrow with my two sons. I'll keep you informed of the result! By the way, I remind a no-magnet motor I saw on the internet some time ago. there were drawings and pictures, but I've been unable to find the URL this time. The idea was to use two "circles" (I'm not sure of my english), the first one generating the magnetic field for the second one. I'll try it without explanations. Hope the kids will keep some confidence in my skills! Thanks for your page - and talk to you soon! regards from french Normandy. ------ Name: david Address: youngsinloc@aol.com From: salinas,ca.u.s.a Comments: i am in a technical school right now and helping my nephew do a electric motor.i have one thing to say about your motor.u need to be more specific on how to sand the coil. i don't know if u want all the coating gone on one side or both.and figure 2. doesn't look like figure 1. ------ Name: Len Schneider Address: Lucky2bTwo@aol.com From: Downey, California USA Comments: Thank You for the GREAT suggestions. The diagrams were easy to read and very helpful. ------ Name: Dale Callaham Address: dac@bio.umass.edu From: Belchertown, MA USA Comments: Thanks Chris! I built one with my sons and it works great. I would like to pass along a couple of simple suggestions. First, it is good to wrap a bit of electrical tape where the conductor/support wires MAY touch a metallic battery case and short out. Second, bar magnets apparently come in two (at least) basic varieties. The one I first used worked fine. It has its poles on the large flat faces. The kind my kids had in a magnet experiment kit had the poles on the two ENDS of the long axis and this one didn't work. I tried it also with a cylindrical bar with long-axial poles and it also didn't work. If I held this with one pole just opposite the battery (and close as possible) it worked fine. Just thought I would pass this along to help make the construction more reliable. Thanks again!
