Science Inventions

In science we are working on our inventions and my group is making an electric motor out of copper wire paper clips and magnets we them had to do an PMI on our invention and how the whole thing went.

How did we make it? We made it by using copper wire, battery, blu tack magnet insulation tape and safety pins we used the battery as a base and then put the safety pins on the sides and stuck them on with insulation tape we then put a magnet on the battery and then put the coiled wire on top.

How does it work?  Our invention works because current and power from the battery travels up the safety pins to the wire which heats it up and when you  flick the wire it spins and the magnet allows it to continuously spin around and power stuff


Positive - Minus - Interesting

Something positive about our invention was that we got our motor working well it was spinning and the wire was heating up and continuously spinning.

A minus/something negative we found out while mailing this project was that we had to use different magnets because the first magnets wasn't strong enough to keep it spinning

Something interesting was when we found that we needed to use safety pins instead of paperclips because paper clips couldn't hold up the wire and make it spin because it was to heavy.
