My project was about creating an electric motor. I chose this project because I was interested to know how one works. My conclusion was a motor using a battery, neodydium magnets, electrical tape and copper wire can make a motor. My project is important because it shows poeple how electric mototr work.
Great engineering process: you tested multiple prototypes and fixed the main problem (coil shape) to make it spin.
Strong learning takeaway: coil design mattered more than increasing voltage.
You chose an interesting topic about how electric motors work. I appreciate your effort in explaining the steps and materials involved. It’s great that you explored how this type of technology functions. Keep learning and building your understanding.
I absolutely love the idea and time dedicated to this project. Really handson and innovative. A job welldone
You set out to understand something, and you did. You built, tested, failed, learned, and finally built a motor that spins. That is exactly how science and engineering work. Now you understand something about the refrigerators, fans, and toys in your home that most people never get to see. Keep being curious. Keep taking things apart in your mind and building them back up. That kind of thinking can take you anywhere.
