Atsuko Yukawa Creates Homopolar Motor Sculptures Using Wire and a Battery www.spoon-tamago.com

Japanese artist Atsuko Yukawa runs a small studio called Trill where she primarily spends her time illustrating birds.
But recently, in her spare time, she’s been experimenting with simple wire sculptures.
The science behind what makes these sculptures move is called a homopolar motor: a direct current electric motor that produces constant circular motion.
To build the homopolar motar, all you need is a small magnet on one end of a battery.
And perhaps what makes them so great is the bonus cat footage at the end of each video!
