Motor Building

In the beginning, I was full of excitement to make our own motor with Edward. The process of making motor was easier than i expected. Rather than reading the instruction on workbook, we observed the motors that were made by previous students. For 30 minutes, we hammered four nails down and we took hard time to align the nails to adjust the right proportion. Then, we made the spinning part of the motor which was just a stick into a wine cork. Then, I sanded the brushes which will conduct electricity to the commutator. Commutators were attached on one side of the cork. We coiled the cork.
