Learn the basics of electricity the fun way by building a mini motor that operates! This kit teaches how electrical DC motors work and is easy to assemble as no soldering is needed. The motor uses a wire coil that acts as an electromagnet, and it uses a commutator to make sure that the current reverses at the proper time. The kit includes an illustrated step by step assembly manual that also describes theory and includes 8 experiments to try out.
