Hi guys I wanted to introduce me now,
I am the 4000. registered user here, but that is secondary matter.
I wanted sometimes questions whether you have maybe a few easy expiments ready which are not too difficultly for my age (15). I know that I, indeed, very young, but also am very much interested in the subject Magnet Motors..
In addition, I would still like to apologize for my bad English that lies with it I come from Germany ::)
Many greetings Amaretto Sour 2
You can try the SMOT first. Two long bar magnets and one steel ball, is the simplest one you can find. Read the SMOT forums here, or google on the subject. Small magnets stacked to form a bar also can work.
Or you can try the classic spiral setup without the electromagnet, in attraction or repulsion mode as you want.

But always be very careful if you use Neodymium magnets. Larger ones can hurt (or even brake) your finger.
