Making a Simple DC Motor

This video demonstrates how to create a simple DC electric motor using a few simple bits and pieces. The parts I use in the video come from a Westminster Motor Kit - a search for this term should bring up a list of suppliers.
I realise that at one stage in the video my hands cover the workings of the motor: During this stage al I am doing is holding the wires vertically so that they brush against the two wires coming from the coil (at either side of the axle).
The large motor I demonstrate at the end was constructed by a colleague of mine who assembled it using a variety of odds and ends that he had lying around.

You have a lot of nice vintage laboratory equipment

Finally two video after a year.❤️

seriously , i get a lot to learn from quantamboffin videos...great job !

Hey Your demonstrations are very helpful Keep it up 👍👍👍 Thank You

I found this channel less than a week ago and decided to subscribe despite the lack of recent videos. I am glad you decided to keep on making videos, they are so interesting!

[@QuantumBoffin]

I've been meaning to post new videos for a long time, but have never quite got around to it. It was people like you who inspired me to create some more. 🙂

Which wire you used??

[@QuantumBoffin]

I used single core wire but, to be frank, any old wire can be used.

Ok so , when the electricity passes through it , the tiny rod becomes a magnet itself and it adjusts itself by rotating to make common magnetic field with the other magnets because magnetic fields cannot intersect each other . But to generate electricity we can't supply electricity to rotate it because then it won't make any sense . So we use natural energy like hydel , wind , thermal , tidal etc. to rotate that tiny rod by which vice versa of the process happens and electricity is generated . Something like this happends , but I am a little bit confused about this part .

[@QuantumBoffin]

You're confusing generators and motors. The video shows the construction of a motor: you supply electricity to it, and it moves. Although generators are very similar in design, they are used in a very different way: you don’t supply any electricity to it - instead you spin the coil around (e.g. by attaching it to a wind turbine), and this then creates the electricity.
