https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66JXrxeZGUs This simple tool lets you visually see how a dc motor works by showcasing its internal details. I got this idea from Sonic Dad's YouTube channel, which features a basic dc motor found in rc cars and other items. To make this project work, you'll need the following components: a battery, two paper clips, two safety pins. For detailed instructions on how to put this project together, click... Instructions Step 1: Print out the object as instructed. Step 2: Disassemble a small dc motor. Be gentle with pliers or other tools to avoid damaging it. Step 3: Secure a spring from an old battery compartment using hot glue or use another type of spring altogether and attach it to the negative side of the motor. Step 4: Take two paper clips and shape them along the paths outlined on the item. They should fit together neatly once attached. Step 5: Secure the magnets using hot glue to hold everything in place. Step 6: Cut the safety pins to the right size so that they don't obstruct the rotor's path, then attach the first pin with a thin layer of hot glue, taking care not to get it stuck too tight. Step 7: Hot glue the terminals/brushes at the bottom, directly opposite where the paper clip paths meet. This ensures smooth electrical connections. Step 8: Place the motor inside carefully to ensure that all components are in place and functioning properly. Step 9: Secure the second safety pin using hot glue while keeping it perfectly centered to prevent any imbalance. Step 10: Carefully attach the paper clips to their designated paths to avoid obstructing the motor's operation. Step 11: Plug in the battery, adjust if necessary, and admire your finished project.
