As a hacker, chances are that you have built a homopolar motor, as you only need three things: a battery, a magnet and some copper wire. There are zillions of videos on YouTube. This time we want t… ...

Did you know you can create a working motor at home with a few simple items? Discover how to with ABC11 Science Club with BASF.

Learn how to make a homopolar motor at home with our step-by-step guide! Discover the fascinating science behind this simple yet intriguing motor as we take you through the process using everyday ...

A homopolar motor is driven by the Lorentz force. When you place an electrified conductor in a magnetic field that runs perpendicular to it, it'll generate torque and move the conductor. In the ...

It’s a small linear motor which [ligonapProduktion] built after seeing a very brief description of a commercially available version. The video after the break shows him testing the motor.

For those that aren’t technologically savvy, a homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles. Mirko uses two magnets and a battery to create this amazingly simple motor.

The two motors developed so far, the synchronous AC and homopolar machines, both have drawbacks, Lovelace says. The AC motor uses a rotating member with superconducting coils, the cryo-cooling ...
