- ID Code: K2-48
- Purpose: Show the use of eddy currents in producing a motor with few moving parts and no electrical brushes.
- Description: An aluminum soda can is mounted on a rotating bearing, with the sawn-off cores of transformers mounted adjacent to the center of the can. When 110 VAC power is connected to the transformers, eddy currents cause the can to rotate.
