The First Electric Motor

Michael Faraday launched a torrent of innovation and discovery when he demonstrated the first electric motor. This video discusses this important early device, including a demonstration of a working model of Faraday's electromagnetic rotation device.

You are a National Treasure. Your voice and style of explaining is phenomenal. Thank you for educating the masses

[@sciencetoymaker]

Your historical projects with accompanying background videos are a treasure, Wayne! They will be engaging young people (and not so young people--like me) far into the future. Great work, as always.

[@ScienceOnline]

Thanks for the comment Slater. One of your walk-along gliders is sitting beside my computer. Speaking of "not so young" I see my reference to CDs has exposed my age. ;)

[@TheIJoystick]

ScienceOnline CDs are awesome :D

[@PacoOtis]

Thanks for the video! Excellently presented and certainly very, very interesting. I am a septuagenarian and a former educator and greatly appreciate someone as talented as you. Please carry on and best of luck!

[@saravananradhakrishnan2042]

Great Video and presentation. I also learned great deal about Michael Faraday other sources. Being from a poor family in the 19th century didn't stop Faraday from becoming greatest scientist to the point where Einstein kept Faraday's portrait in his study room. Faraday learned every book he encountered as book printing apprentice in his young age thus acquired great deal of knowledge. Faraday was one of the greatest experimenter of his time. I hope young generation of current and in the future learn great deal from Faraday that no matter what your circumstances are, if you are hungry for acquiring knowledge, you too could become a future great scientist like Faraday, invent something the world could use for many centuries and change the world for better. I wish good luck to current and future younger generation. Knowledge is Power.

Excellent, thanks for posting.

[@barneyboy7771]

Excellent video, basics, clear, no loud background music.

[@Polarcupcheck]

This great. Everyone should watch this channel.

[@JustFun-iz9rf]

thank you really great. I didn't know this is how it all began

[@ivegal]

what about the poles of magnet stacks? which side is north up or down?

[@richardmccrae-lauba3578]

great video, thanks!

[@petervandegroenendaal9033]

Excellent video :)

[@kloesalazar9611]

does anybody know a question for this type of project

[@yoyofargo]

What are CD's? ;)

[@khemrajsahu5163]

When I try this experiment So it's not rotate Please tell me what general mistake happened in it

[@beFreetolove]

i am needing some help with wiring something andnid very much appreciated if you could try and give me some advice.

[@manaskumarghosh7910]

hope you live long, and we continue to get videos like this.

[@babitasarwan4601]

Nice project l learn many things

[@vineettanwar7880]

how to perform this without those black and red clips

[@UpusCumupus]

if schools were as engaging as your videos. Then i wouldn't mind going from time to time. Anyways please keep doing a good job*

[@Neueregel]

great project

[@parbatisahu2072]

Can we use copper wires

[@RahulKumar-rg8gk]

Very nice

[@biratkhanal7416]

What are the problems due to which the wire may not rotate ?

[@babitadas7162]

[@Claudiomarsantos]

Ótimo vídeo... Para mim as linhas de força mostradas pelas limalhas não existem ... Elas são criadas pelas limalhas.... Colocadas no campo, se polarizam E se repelem criando linhas que não existem ... O campo é linear ...

[@jeremykemp3782]

Fantastic

[@Neueregel]

thx for sharing the experiment!

[@vineettanwar7880]

do any type of magnet will work #scienceonline PLZ SOMEONE REPLY

[@ahappyimago]

vineet tanwar yes

[@spirituality5844]

thanks

[@EnergeticWaves]

I saw one of those at the smithsonian used mercury not water.

[@reetaverma3800]

You all tried this project at home ? I tried but its not success

[@SurajKumar-oh9li]

Fun fact this is the birth of today's super fast motors can any one notice the difference between this needle and today's motor

[@amilcaralmeida354]

Nice video.😏

[@tinosnit]

I believe this works using jolts of electricity. That is, try measure the current (amps) from the battery. It should oscillate up and down with the wire's motion.

[@anandkumar-gj1uf]

Wow

[@HarryG2013]

👍

[@naufal_su_bi_ng6936]

I have an idea of making a new kind of BLDC motor

[@MAESTRAN]

Motor de Faraday

[@gordonvo9487]

I watched this with mr krupa

[@vinodkmathew3958]

the inventor is William sturgeon

[@PoopenSchloopen]

Crazy how this is now so simple a 10 year old can do it and it’s a great way to learn how this stuff works but the dudes who figured this out were fuckin geniuses who were probably freaking out

[@mehmetdogu384]

if we were thought as effective as you were, we could have more successful and reached to the level that we wanted. Great Education for great nation is a must.

[@theswordfirex5show467]

is this safe enough for a 3rd grade science fair project?

[@robbmaier368]

It's starting to eletralise the salt water

[@andreapatane4204]

Magnets rule!

[@nastybastardatlive]

Lol. You call a battery a "batch-ree".
