The First Electric Motor

You are a National Treasure. Your voice and style of explaining is phenomenal. Thank you for educating the masses

Your historical projects with accompanying background videos are a treasure, Wayne! They will be engaging young people (and not so young people--like me) far into the future. Great work, as always.

Great Video and presentation. I also learned great deal about Michael Faraday other sources. Being from a poor family in the 19th century didn't stop Faraday from becoming greatest scientist to the point where Einstein kept Faraday's portrait in his study room. Faraday learned every book he encountered as book printing apprentice in his young age thus acquired great deal of knowledge. Faraday was one of the greatest experimenter of his time. I hope young generation of current and in the future learn great deal from Faraday that no matter what your circumstances are, if you are hungry for acquiring knowledge, you too could become a future great scientist like Faraday, invent something the world could use for many centuries and change the world for better. I wish good luck to current and future younger generation. Knowledge is Power.

Thanks for the video! Excellently presented and certainly very, very interesting. I am a septuagenarian and a former educator and greatly appreciate someone as talented as you. Please carry on and best of luck!

Excellent video, basics, clear, no loud background music.

Excellent, thanks for posting.

thank you really great. I didn't know this is how it all began

This great. Everyone should watch this channel.

hope you live long, and we continue to get videos like this.

if schools were as engaging as your videos. Then i wouldn't mind going from time to time. Anyways please keep doing a good job*

What are CD's? ;)

Fantastic

great video, thanks!

Excellent video :)

I believe this works using jolts of electricity. That is, try measure the current (amps) from the battery. It should oscillate up and down with the wire's motion.

When I try this experiment So it's not rotate Please tell me what general mistake happened in it

Nice project l learn many things

does anybody know a question for this type of project

Fun fact this is the birth of today's super fast motors can any one notice the difference between this needle and today's motor

great project
