  I'm stumped. Why would non-ferrous wire work in this motor when the magnet is meant power it? Thanks, Woody in Washington

  The instructions say 1m or about 3 ft. It's a cool little project, works like a charm.

• Wrap the wire 10 times?

  Ive tried the Motormouth project but its not working yet. One think is the instructions say to wrap 1 ft of wire around the C cell 10 times. 1 ft of 22 gauge wire will only go around about 3 times. To get 10 revolutions, it takes about 3 ft. Additionally, getting nail polish to adhere to small copper wire is tricky. Still trying...stay tuned.
