I want the motor to run at full speed with no resistor in its path normally.. it's a coated wire where half of the coating has been taking off, such that as it rotates it makes/breaks contact

It's mostly my meter that is preventing me from getting a good measurement on the current.. I don't want to buy one for just this 1 project I am familiar with resistors, diodes, capacitors, inductors, and transistors (pnp and npn), and I was hoping to be able to get something using just those...

so I am creating a simple electric motor and I need a circuit that will cut the power if it is stalled (since it can create a short if it is stalled, draining/damaging the batteries) - the problem is that it also creates a short for a small period of time while in regular use I would like to...
