The King-Young Motor

The Right-Hand Rule #3, it really sticks out...

On September 30, 2010, we had an in-class assignment to create a motor based on the Right-hand rule #3. The Right-Hand rule #3 applies to an electrically charged rod/wire in between two magnets of opposite poles. It states that when you stretch out your palm, your thumb should go in the direction of which the magnetic fields are travelling. The magnetic fields travel from north to south, so if north is on the right, your thumb points to the left, because the magnetic field moves from the north to south. Your other fingers should point into the direction of which the current is travelling in the rod/wire. If the current travels up, you point your other fingers up, and vice versa. Finally, your palm will then show the direction of which the force will be applied. In the example to the right, the palm is facing towards you-ish to the left-ish that indicates the direction of the electrically charged will move. 

What we hoped for our experiment to turn out to... I guess it's impossible...

Suyoung + Kingeon = UBER PRO H4X0R LEECHERS

With this principle, we had two wires that alternated in rotating, therefore creating a motor. The creation of the motor seemed hard at first since we had to prepare materials, and Suyoung, my partner (leecher), didn’t have that many materials, so he leeched off of me. However, as we put the materials together, it was fairly easy, the nails were straight, the brushes (which we leeched off of Rex) was sanded really well (with sandpaper that we leeched off of Rex), the cork was screwed fairly well (which we leeched off of Mr. Chung) and finally the paperclips (which we leeched off of Mr. Chung) and the thumbtacks (which we leeched off of Lisa + Krystal) worked well. Though I injured myself 2 times, one by the brush/metal thing, and one by a screw, the experiment was fun and our motor was the first smoothest one. Not the first, not the smoothest but the first smoothest =D.
