It seems to use a very odd yet powerful rotating magnetic force to thrust the curled up wire into a spinning motion. I also notice some supercell batteries connected to it somehow, I imagine it creates some electromagnetic current that flows through the wire causing a reacting force that creates the spinning motion of the curled of wire. The motor was obviously previously created someone lacking the ability to create a stable motor  because it broke apart as soon as I elevated it from its surface. Still, it seems to be a creative instrument and I look forward to making one myself. YES-2-Tech Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:46:15 +0000
