solder the led to the motor, polarity does not matter since the polarity given off by the motor switches with a change in rotational direction.
Step 4: Tips
possible applications for this include:
momentary flashlight
placing on a small propeller to demonstrate the potential of wind energy
a tachometer, the brighter the led is the faster the shaft is spinning
