Flatline Robotics
Electric Motor
Deep Dive
Take it apart. Build one from scratch. Understand the spin.
⏱ 90 Minutes
🎁 Keep Your Motor!
What You'll Do
  • Explore electromagnetism with hands-on demos
  • Visualize magnetic fields with iron filings & compasses
  • Tear apart a real DC motor and identify every internal part
  • Build a working motor from wire, magnets & a battery
  • Experiment: more coils = more power?
  • Connect motors to real-world tech: EVs, drones & robots
How the 90 Minutes Work
1
Electromagnetism Demos
Compasses, iron filings & electromagnets. See invisible forces.
25 MIN
2
Motor Teardown
Open a motor. Find the armature, commutator, brushes & magnets.
15 MIN
3
Build Your Own Motor
Wind a coil, strip the wire, balance on paper clips & SPIN.
40 MIN
4
Experiment & Wrap-Up
Modify, test, and connect to the real world.
10 MIN
+ – DC MOTOR CROSS-SECTION Armature • Commutator • Magnets • Brushes
Take Home a Motor You Built!
Build a working motor from copper wire, magnets, and a battery. Plus take home the parts from the motor you tore apart.
