original description

I told myself if I can make it work with stuff thats laying around the house, then it might be worth throwing money into. This "No Frills Motor was inspired by chuck2na off of YouTube, I mean..if you can make a motor out of a flower pot, lol anything is possible :) Last night I thought I would try and capture some of the unused potential of the spinning rotor and added a small generator circuit to the end of the little newman motor. It's in now way connected to the newman coil and is really a separate unit with it's own output. The coils are wired in a counter-clockwise to clockwise configuration. It generates enough juice to power an LED but you can clearly see the inefficiencies in this design -ha.ha, the CD is wobbling like crazy from the weight of the neo magnets and not being centered/balanced properly.. but it still works and the 9V still pumping the unbalanced load for long periods of time.. pretty interesting, this Newman motor now has 1 input power source and 2 output power sources both with different output voltages.
