- HUKI365, on 10/31/2007, -0/+12Hmm, yeah - pretty much everything finite in this world, mate.
Except digg sarcasm. - Tenetri, on 10/30/2007, -0/+11For anyone attempting this like the guy in this video. Do not use a Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) or Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batterys. As the magnet will destory the battery. Just pick an good'ol battery out of a flashlight you may need if zombies attack.
Also, the type of magnet has to be a Neodymium one. I picked up a few at my local surplus store. (Look for them behind the counter, because the 17 year old girls won't know what the fu*k a Neodymium magnet is :) - inactive, on 11/01/2007, -1/+11If you watch this video, make sure you hit the mute button first.
- Sharky35, on 10/31/2007, -2/+11What is a surplus store?
And what surplus store keeps magnets behind the counter, hidden from 17yo girls?
I am not being a smart ass, this is a serious question. - takeda, on 10/31/2007, -0/+9The author didn't mentioned the hardest and most important part, which is _properly_ removing isolation from the ends of the coil.
Here are better instructions:

- subliminalurge, on 10/31/2007, -0/+6Very, very slowly.....
- tlgjames, on 10/31/2007, -1/+6I made this in 4th grade for a science project. With an enormous radioshack battery and some decent magnets.
- beerput, on 10/31/2007, -3/+8To bad it's finite, still a simple way to make a motor, but if I'm in the forest and want to make a chainsaw to cut my leg lose it isn't of much use.
- RadicalEdward, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4Free Va-Jay-Jay's!!!!!! Gotta love digg-spam.
- PawFox, on 10/31/2007, -1/+5While its a pointless video.. Where do people get the music from? I want it
- TokenWhiteGuy, on 10/31/2007, -1/+5Take Alex Jones's ***** out of your mouth and get some fresh air.
- inactive, on 11/01/2007, -1/+5This was great. Thanks whoever posted this.
- ItsGus, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4I find this motor to be a little cooler (and even simpler):

video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2f6RD1hT6Q
The video on the site is better quality, so look for that too
it shows the motor in motion @ 10,000 rpm - driftwood07, on 10/31/2007, -1/+5the principle of electromagnetism is not a trick
- ItsGus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3yea, thanks for truncating my the URL, digg...
Here it is again

- SixFeetUnder, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2The guy made the music himself using some software or another. check his blog out.
- rpong1981, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2what a ***** comment
- isewise, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2Your comment reminded me of this:
http://www.eyebeam.org/reblog/archives/mordor.gif - Cowfrommars, on 10/31/2007, -1/+2Technically*
- Cowfrommars, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Theoretically, resistors ARE just more wire. Wire is also a resistor in itself.
- TrevorBelmont, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1We need a cheap and simple INFINITE MOTOR!!
- foresworn, on 11/01/2007, -1/+2Great vid, annoying music =/
- rpong1981, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1I think I learned this in science class in middle school. It's a cool concept
- krnldmp, on 10/31/2007, -3/+4Even sarcasm has its llimits next to cynicism on digg.
- polyGone, on 10/31/2007, -1/+2LIAR!! It's the oldest trick in the book! pffft magnetism......get out of here with your voodoo!
- krnldmp, on 10/30/2007, -2/+2In glee!
- headband, on 10/31/2007, -1/+1theoretically if you use resistors on the sides instead of more wire, the current going through the wire will be greater and it will spin faster
I'm not sure if it actually works though - Jokimoto, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0headband, you have it exactly backwards. To increase the available current you'd have to use less resistance, not more. Increasing the resistance (by using resistors instead of simply wire) to a steady voltage like a battery would lead to less current flowing. Ohm's Law, mate. Voltage = Current x Resistance.
- RaggTopp, on 10/31/2007, -3/+2Yet another......"Why is this on the front page" comment....
- LUCCHINA, on 10/31/2007, -5/+3Nice trick !
- dforty3, on 11/02/2007, -10/+69/11 was an inside job!
- adamrgolf, on 10/31/2007, -9/+3what a ***** video
