Neodymium Magnets
The Single Brush Motor

Enamel-covered solid-conductor copper wire is perfect for winding your own coils and electromagnets and single brush motors. For the 3 left hand motors I wrapped the wire around an AA battery and tied them off as shown. Then I scraped half the enamel off only 1/2 of the the single end wires (the ends that go through the support loops). both ends must have the same side scraped clean. The other halves must remain enameled and insulated. I use a battery holder with alligator clips to power the rig by clipping one to each support loop. The support loops are made from safety pins.
