- stumped on copper wireuse

I'm stumped. Why would non-ferrous wire work in this motor when the magnet is meant power it? Thanks, Woody in WashingtonPosted by woodrich on October 11, 2005 at 12:29:05 Pacific Time

The instructions say 1m or about 3 ft. It's a cool little project, works like a charm.Posted by JohnFrago on April 29, 2005 at 08:59:42 Pacific Time

- Wrap the wire 10 times?
You must be logged in to reply.
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.Posted by cbcurran on April 09, 2005 at 09:59:27 Pacific Time
