"...this is cool"
Marty - September 26, 2011
As the heading suggests, as a direct quote from my 7 yr old daughter, "this is cool". She absolutely loves this little motor. She even took it to school for a 'sharing day' subject (already impressing the boys...not sure thats a good thing yet). Got lots of "oooohhhhhsss". It's simple to build and works as promised. And, probably the most impressive thing to me is that she figured out when she changed the battery's polarity (put it in the metal contacts the "other way" for you laypersons out there)OR flipped the magnet over, the motor would change directions. Hey, if she thinks its a cool project, I'm with her!!! |
