Making a Simple Electric Motor

One AA battery - a C or D battery will also do.
One ¼ inch or ½ inch diameter rare earth disk magnet. (Ordered online or purchased at a very good hobby store) Find them here
A small nail or screw or paper clip - one that is made of steel or iron or some other magnetic material is needed. Aluminum won’t work.
One 6” piece of insulated wire. The insulation must be taken off from about a half inch at each end. In the video it is coiled around a D cell, however AA works just as well.
