Cool Spinning Top From Old Motor

In this instructable i'm going to show how to make this cool spinning top from an old crusty motor. It can spin for over a minute on a smooth surface!!

Obviously you are going to need an old motor, these wider types ones are better, you're also going to need some flat-head screwdrivers to pry it open.

This is the hardest step, your motor should have a little notch on the side, you want to stuff your screwdriver in that notch and pry it open, it took me a couple of tries and two different sized screwdrivers.

Now you can take apart your motor, you can throw away the outer shell and the lid, the core will be the spinning top.

Now just spin it, because it is perfectly balanced it should go for quite a while.

You can watch it on YouTube.
