A bit of romance and a bit of science… How to make the simplest electric motor with rotating heart in minutes. Both Alex and Max couldn't believe that the heart was actually rotating. We used one AA battery, about 20 cm of unplated copper wire and a cylinder shaped magnet (any size of a magnet will work as long as it is a bit wider then the battery) More kids science activities here: http://earlylearningtoys.org/type/experiments/ #thedadlab_experiments | TheDadLab

You can make a simple motor at home with just three items! Alex Dainis shows you how to make a homopolar motor at home and explains how the physics in this motor is similar to those being used in electric cars! #ElectricCars #DIY #Physics #Science | Museum of Science, Boston
