I tend to think that the description says it all on this one, but just to be clear, it’s the simplest motor… in the world. ;-)

    That’s damned clever! What is it that the battery is sitting on? Looks like a watch battery, to be honest.

    I’m guessing those are magnets, pretty cool

    Probably magnets. I wonder how long it can turn before running out of batteries?

    This one uses a battery, a magnet and a drywall screw – same principle but even easier to make…

    That other one is pretty cool too, but it lacks the nice feature of being able to set it on the counter and let ‘er rip! :-)
