1. - wire + wire D size battery Magnet wire coil magnets Paper clips Support board

2. Step 2: Wrap magnet wire around a cylinder Step 1: Make support board Step 3: Bend paper clips to support coil

3. Step 4: Secure all the parts to the support board

4. Strip Insulation around the wire Strip Insulation half way around the wire Step 5: remove insulation and troubleshoot This creates a pulse of electricity while the coil spins Re-bend and re-shape coil and paperclips until coil spins freely

5. Electricity, supplied by the battery, pulses through the system while the magnets pull on the coil, which causes the coil to spin. The blue arrows show a completed electrical circuit.
