Pocket Sized Motor

This instructable will show you how to make a small,multi use motor out of the motor that spins a CD in a CD player.

You will need:
-an old CD player
-a AA battery
-duct tape
-a small,thin piece of plastic

Remove the motor from the CD player with the 2 wires that attach to it.Then strip the end of those wires.

Touch the wires on opposite ends of the battery. If the motor doesn't run, try switching it around. Once you find that out, tape the wire that is supposed to touch the negative(-) side of the battery onto it.

Rip a piece of duct tape about 1 and 1/2 inches long and 1/4 wide. then rip a small piece 1/4 by 1/4. Lay down the longer piece adhesive side up and stick the small piece in the middle.

Take the thin piece of plastic and cut it 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide. Then cut a small hole near the end.

Place the wire that is supposed to touch the positive end(+) and Put the piece of duct tape that you made in step 4 over it tightly. Then slide the "switch" in between the wire and the battery.

When you pull the switch, the wire will be in contact with the battery,the motor will run. Tape the wire onto the battery so it won't slide when you move the switch.
