Model DC motor (1 Viewer)

[Tommy_Lamp]

does anyone know how to build a DC motor in a lab..we did it but we didnt write it up and now i have to hand it in as part of an assessment.
the one we did used matchboxes, a pencil with a coil of wire etc. but i cant remember what it looked like. does anyone have a diagram or know of a diagram or can maybe describe it?

thanks

I think there is a write up on this in the main resources.

Anyway what you will need is an axle, 2 permament magnets, a split ring commutator a battery and wire, just wrap the wire around (as many times as possible) hook it up to the commutator, plug it to a battery/transformer and pray.
