Learn how to make a homopolar motor at home with our step-by-step guide! Discover the fascinating science behind this simple ...

Yes, it is a homopolar motor, there’s no commutation. Use the right-hand rule for Lorentz force. Lay your palm out, with your thumb at a 90 deg angle to your fingers.

We admit that this project doesn’t have very many details available, but it was just too neat for us to pass up. It’s a small linear motor which [ligonapProduktion] built after seeing a… ...

For those that aren’t technologically savvy, a homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles. Mirko uses two magnets and a battery to create this amazingly simple motor.
