    Power plant electrician here…THIS IS AWESOME!!! I love seeing stuff like this to show kids & get them interested in this stuff! We need kids to take an interest in this. Trade jobs are ripe with opportunity & this is where it all begins, learning something cool & adding onto it from there.

    I'm a middle-aged dude from Los Angeles, and I've been enjoying Curiosity Show on UA-cam for years! I would have watched this show religiously as a kid, (I loved me some Mr. Wizard), but more importantly, I watch it today. Rob and Deane, thank you for your contributions to knowledge!

      G'day Russ,
      I did get to watch Curiosity Show as a kid & yeah I loved it so much got upset if I couldn't,
      I especially loved watching it with Grandpa as after we would make the experiments/crafts together in Grandpa's garage👴🥰, while Grandpa is no longer here watching again on UA-cam I feel that love it helped us share.

    I am truly amazed that someone figured out how to make a DC motor without needing any specialized parts, and just using common household stuff. The only part of this that's not in my home is the enameled wire, and you could just use any copper wire and only strip one half of the insulation, I suspect

    there is an easier design which works without the rubber bands; you need the following:
    wire, coin, battery, two disk magnets.
    take a stripped copper wire (for example from home electrical wiring).
    take a round cell battery, for instance an AA.
    add a disc magnet on each pole; both maintaining the same magnetic orientation.
    attach a coin to the bottom magnet.
    take the copper wire and form a coil by wrapping it around the battery.
    stretch the copper coil that it reaches a little more than the length of the battery.
    bend the top end of the coil to rest at the center of the top magnet.
    adjust the bottom of the coil to brush over the coin.
    both, the disc magnet and the coin are assumed to be good electric conductors.
    the copper coil completes the electric circuit; a direct current runs through the copper wire building up a magnetostatic field, which interferes with the field of the permanent magnets, causing the coil to spin around the battery.

      it is simpler, but it doesn't have all of the same concepts, and is much, much weaker.
      this one has variabilities, such as how the amount of windings on your coil determining your instant torque, and being more power efficient.
