Mr. Chung gave us the opportunity to build a motor in class today with a friend.
My partner was Daniel, and we had many challenges during the experiment of building a working motor.
During the period, we only had the first 30 minutes of class to hammer since it was a very noisy distraction to other classes... (HAMMER TIME!)
We hammered four 4-inch nails, 2 cms by 3 cms in length and width on the wood.
I started sanding the brushes (sides of the pop can) with sandpaper, which didn't seem to be one of the very old generation ones.
We then stuck the stick through the cork, along with two nails parallel beside the stick.
Next, the coiling got confusing... instead of coiling parallel (the PROPER way), I coiled it perpendicular to the nails = the WRONG way.
With some tape to secure the properly coiled cork (much later after many tries), we decided to go for round 1 of testing.
Round 1 resulted in a fail. This was because our brushes may not have been sanded enough. One of the nails in the cork did not touch the brush.
Round 2 resulted in... another fail. (QQ) Our paper clips were not stable enough and we ran outta time to fix it...
More updates will be posted tomorrow! Maybe.
