How to make a electric motor

Step 1: Step 1: Materials

Materials:

2 paper clips

1 rubber band

1 d-cell battery

2 feet of 26 gauge magnetic wire

1 magnet

Sandpaper

Wire cutter

Wrap the rubber band around the battery twice. See Picture.

Step 6: Step 6: Connecting the Paper Clips

Slide the non bend up side of the paper clip into the rubber band so that it is touching both the positive and negative side of the battery.

Step 7: Step 7: Putting the Motor Together

Place the coil leads on the paper clips. Place the magnet underneath the coil on top of the battery. see picture
