Ballerina rotated with a homopolar motor |”Be STEAM!” project
Before preparing the BALLERINA, the students learn about the basic concepts of magnetism and electricity. During the workshop they make a homopolar electromotor using magnets, AA batteries and copper wire. The preparation requires high level of attention and precision, so the students use special jeweler pliers and lasercut plexiglass templates.
A ballerina figure, cut from paper and coloured to their liking, is put into the flexible node bent from wire. Part of the task is to create a GIF about the spinning ballerina, though the figure may also be Darth Vader, who is wielding his laser sward.
