Ask AI: How do I make a magnetic motor

A magnetic motor uses the power of magnets to rotate and generate energy. Building a simple magnetic motor requires understanding the concept of the attraction and repulsion of magnet poles. Please be aware that building an efficient and working magnetic motor on a large scale is a subject of controversy and skepticism, as it is seen to defy the fundamental laws of physics. Here's a simple method for creating a basic magnetic motor: Materials needed: 1. Neodymium magnets (strong disc or cylinder-shaped magnets) - at least 2 (or more for a more efficient motor) 2. Copper or aluminum wire (gauge around 18-24) 3. AA battery 4. Cardboard or a small piece of wood 5. Pliers 6. Electric tape 7. Scissors Instructions: 1. Cut two small pieces of cardboard, making sure they're identical in size (about 1 inch x 1 inch). 2. Wrap one end of the copper wire around the square cardboard piece, leaving an inch or two protruding outwards. Continue to wrap the wire around the cardboard until you have a coil of about 10 loops. Be careful to wrap the wires neatly. 3. Use the pliers to bend the protruding wire ends at a 90-degree angle, making them flat against the cardboard. These ends will be the support points for the motor. 4. Cut the second cardboard piece into a small stand with a hole large enough for the battery to sit on top. 5. Attach a neodymium magnet to each end of the AA battery. The magnets should stick to the battery due to their strong magnetic force. 6. Position the battery on the stand so that the magnets are exposed on each side. 7. Tape the coiled cardboard to the stand using electrical tape, allowing it to sit and rotate freely on top of the battery. Insert the protruding wires into the hole of the second cardboard piece, ensuring it stays in place. 8. Adjust the angle and position of the protruding wire ends to make contact with the magnets. This would create a magnetic repulsion, causing the wire to rotate. When the wire's ends make contact with the magnets, the circuit will be completed, and the current will flow. The magnetic field created by the current will interact with the permanent magnets on the battery, causing repulsion and rotation. Again, please note that this is a simple magnetic motor for educational and experimental purposes; it is not an efficient or a self-sustaining motor. The theories supporting perpetual motion magnetic motors are controversial and have not been proven or widely accepted in the scientific community.
