ok so i'm making a electric motor and i followed the driection perfectly (to my knoledge) but it won't work.
so the way i made it was i took safety pin and hooked them into the side of a cup to act as hindges. next i took about 5 magenets and placed them between the 2 pins.then i took some left over insulate wire (from an invisable fence my dad bought) and wrap it around to form a coil leaving 3 inches on both sides. i put the coil in the saftey pin and it made a perfect hindge and it just missed the magnets as it spins just like the direction recomended. next i rig up 8 double a batteries (8AA=15v) and put it on the pins and gave the coil a push and nothing happened. (well somthing happen cuz when i put the electricity in i saw the coil move slightly. i played around with it a bit and got it to work for about 1 min and then it stop. (also the pins get rly hot and 1 of the pins is slightly chared from the heat) i haven't beeen able to get it to spin as i want and i just can't figure out why please help.
