how does this work? (i made one and it does work pretty well, mine was spinning for about 20 minutes) the wire has to be copper so it conducts the electricity, but is not directly magnetic until the applied current produces the magnetic field. Also the magnet has to be very strong, i used an N50 grade neodynium
I can't see where the rotational force is coming from as there are no changes in the direction of the magnetic field or electric current, so i would have thought that the wire would just stay in equilibrium or get attracted to the magnet, as with other standard North - South pole interactions.
