Zachary Wilson commented "I think you're just inducing a current in the coils by rapidly moving the magnetic field, imitating the motion of the turbine. if the turbine were spinning, the lights would be more constant.". In the previous video description I commented it would be difficult to confirm the rotor was spinning without taking it apart, so this time I took it apart, or at least took the back off so we can see the rotor. Here is that paper car Paper Electric Car - Fan Version https://youtu.be/4V24IYbKsbA Previous video description below...... I have done a few videos with a magnetism theme recently and I remembered I had purchased some faucet lights after watching a video by Lidmotor using the parts for one of his projects. My grandchildren rather like the one I fitted to our tap and I I thought I would test it's interaction with spinning neodymium magnets. Without taking it apart I cannot confirm that I am spinning the rotor inside the assembly or the neodymium magnets are inducing the current flow directly in the LEDs circuit. Probably a bit of both. Here is one of Lidmotor's videos using the faucet light https://youtu.be/r9Gmr7fpLyc Main components - Faucet Light Neodymium Magnets Cheap hand held electric fan Here is the previous video on this subject https//youtu.be/gDTGn3UaCro?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB29gSQavaGm8H2vqVg8kcgJ Here is part #3 https://youtu.be/1L0SE95E1qU?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB29gSQavaGm8H2vqVg8kcgJ Camera FujiFilm FinePix S4800 Editor Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition Magnets playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB29gSQavaGm8H2vqVg8kcgJ LED Faucet Light playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1eayJ61nC2uyhUb_KAoQMo My Channel page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan Oldest videos https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?flow=grid&view=0&sort=da Most Popular https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=p&flow=grid&view=0 Newest videos https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=dd&view=0&flow=grid Playlists https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk My "GrandadsOtherChannel" channel is generally where I will host the videos that give extra detail or longer versions of the videos I post on my main channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2mp_L8RoxMyw3ewwSecZ6Q Facebook https://www.facebook.com/grandadisanoldman/ Merchandise - Check both of these links if you are interested as the prices will vary and the shipping charges will be different. http://www.redbubble.com/people/grandadiaom/portfolio http://grandadisanoldman.cottoncart.com/
