Hello internets. I've used you for a lot of things (read: porn), but I never thought I'd be here asking for your help. Basically, I have a physics project due in less than 24 hours, and nothing I've tried has worked. I've been working endlessly since Friday night...

Anyways, the project is this: build a homemade electrical device. I've tried making motors, speakers, etc but nothing has worked for me. I've googled basic motor designs, followed their instructions, but my stuff just won't function!

So does anyone have anything simple I could make? Or an easier-to-make motor? Here are my available materials:

-6 volt battery
-thin insulated copper wire
-aluminum foil
-paper clips
-magnets
-tape

Thanks for any help!

Maybe a transformer? wrap some wire around a piece of iron then wrap a different number of turns of wire.

You shouldn't need more than that to make a motor... at least if you do it properly and are able to use something to mount it on. However, you have to make sure that the ends are sanded very well, it's balanced properly, you have a sufficient amount of wire and wind it properly.

Try the second last design here, it looks simple enough, though you will need to do some finetuning with the balnce and the number of coils.
