Motors-Basics • Motors are nothing more than converters of electricity — electric motors are machines that convert electricity into a mechanical motion (kinetic energy). • A generator or dynamo does the reverse – converting kinetic energy into electrical energy. • Motor Basics: When you connect the Battery Leads to the battery via a wire, the axle will spin. • If you reverse the battery terminals the wires are connected to, the axle will spin in the opposite direction. Axle – this spins when connected to the battery Battery Leads - Where you connect the wires Nylon cap Steel can 1.5 to 3V DC Hobby Motor From Radio Shack More on Motors • SAFETY NOTE: Match voltage & amperage to make sure motor functions correctly (hint: look on the label) – Avoid blowing light bulbs and wasting time and $$$$ • Where do you find motors? Motors are in EVERYTHING – model cars, big cars, washing machines, all you have to do is look. – Take a technical device apart (with permission) – Purchase them at hardware or electronics stores or electronic components stores (such as Radio Shack) • Before you purchase a motor, know what you want it to do – – – – – – – Go around or up & down Turn around Move something Pull or push something Control a series of movements Generate air movement Or …….fill-in-the-blank Axle – this spins when connected to the battery Battery Leads Where you connect the wires Nylon cap Steel can 1.5 to 3V DC Hobby Motor From Radio Shack
