Very nice.

I am now having thought on builing one that uses the motor to keep it lifted.

Maybe a gyroscope...???

Nice project!
made while watching the video (:

The only thing I would add is that you can save the copper wire too, but I think its not that necessary :P

Anyways, thanks for this nice little toy! (:

The enamel coating on the wire would wear off when you removed it, so the wire would no longer be insulated.

When I was little I used t get these motors from toys and stick a 9V battery to it's poles until it spin really fast. Then I'd put it upside down on the table and it would spin... Kinda like an electric top!!

I never had the idea to open one up though... Nice instructable!
