All of the pictures and flash clips on this site are unique and created by myself, Ben Bennett. The source of my idea for this project came from a desire to learn about motors, electricity and magnetism along with an interest in constructing models. I devised the build procedure myself by using only my prior knowledge of solenoids, magnetism and electricity and referencing a model my school owns. The experiment was also devised by myself and I referenced a Physics text book (Halliday) to find the equations and data required.
