Homopolar Dragonfly
A wireform dragonfly with a built-in vibrating helical homopolar motor, which interacts to produce an audio-visual spark of life! Using only a neodymium magnet, AA battery and one length of copper wire, Nature and Technology become melded in a simplistic embrace. The homopolar motor works from the principle of the Lorentz force, discovered about 150 years ago. Basically, it states that when current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field it will experience a force on the charges in the conductor, producing torque. For Homopolar Motor Kits, order from the good folks at the American Stirling Engine website. www.stirlingengine.com For cool supermagnet movies visit my Youtube channel. ca.Youtube.com I buy neodymium magnets at: www.kjmagnetics.com My magnetic Tesla CD Turbine website: www.cdturbine.com Check out how a new understanding of magnetism will radically change our world, presented by nuclear engineer Mehran Keshe www.youtube.com
