Amazing Vibrations within the Homopolar Motor
Bednarek, Stanislaw
Physics Teacher, v56 n1 p47-48 Jan 2018
The most common type of homopolar motor comprises a cylindrical neodymium magnet, a battery, and a non-ferromagnetic frame rotating around the battery. Here, the author substituted a coiled spring for the frame. Due to this change, a new and intriguing effect emerges, the axial buzzing of the spring during its rotation. This paper describes the construction of this motor and explains the reasons for the observed vibrations.
