Super Simple DC Motor

Is this “Homopolar” motor too easy to be true? Just a wire, magnet and battery…

Hello BOOMers! Hope you have a fantastic Monday! From now on you can be proud of being a BOOMer! Because it means you watch ElectroBOOM!
[Message from admin] The Right Hand Rule I show is for MOTORs, for GENERATORs you use Left Hand Rule, or flip I and B finger assignment. ALso, I don't have an admin, I AM the admin! OK BOOMers?!

He used a microwave transformator as a hammer.
Mad lad.

[kalle]

ElectroBoom has learned new ability: Sound effects

[ghandisarieddine]

not hammering the battery is generally a good thing ~electroboom 2019

[decayasalldoes.]

He’s genuinely enjoying the fact that the wire turns and that makes me very happy

[filmweaver]

That song is better than the entire Lion King 2019

[tiberiumelinte]

"NE ne ne ne ne ne ne, WHO ARE YOU, detective PIKACHU?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[samuelsloop]

I love how he acted like he didn’t know about this concept but it showed he already watched several of the videos

[locketom]

I remember building motors like these in one of my 1st year physics labs in university. One of the few labs I actually liked.

"Get your ah ah battery" (AA battery) lmao

[faridhulanam]

“Right hands rules song” should win grammy awards 🥇

4:42 "Who are you, detective pikachu??". SO GOOD

Mehdi: *weird random thinking noises*
90s kids: ah yes, the sounds of my childhood

"Not hammering the battery is generally a good thing."

[Dark_Lieutenant]

That song directing me about currents was possibly the greatest thing I've seen in a while.

[nicolacarey]

4:51 i think left hand rule is applicable here rather than right hand, since it's its motor case

[vladimirmlotschek]

This brings me back to physics class in high school - my teacher just showed us that it worked and said "go make it and figure out how it works" - definitely one of my all-time favourite school memories

[SbouloufLeDetective]

5:26　When you fail your exam and your teacher is happy

edit: Thanks for all the likes, i really appreciate it! Thanks!

I've made homopolar motors before! Quite simple but really amazing once it starts turning. Mind you, sometimes it takes the bugger ages of fine tuning the wire to get it to turn, but once you get it in the right position with just the right pressure, it goes like the clappers!
