 Setting the magnets on the record. We applied Gorilla glue to the bottom of the magnets. We then placed cardboard on top of the magnets then put vitamin waters on top to let the glue set.

 We placed the coils on the record and we glued them with a hot glue gun. We then wired the coils together making a complete circuit.

Another picture of the coils. We tried to unravel the coils to shrink them, but failed miserably because they constantly kept getting entangled. Therefore resulting in a loss of two coils.

The rotary disk. Where all the magic happens =) This picture is the combination of two hard drive motors that spin on a frictionless surface making somewhat of a ball bearing. They are held together by 3 bolts and gorilla glue that are attached through both motor mounts which will eventually attach to the record.

This magnetic rotor consists of 16 magnets, 1 record, and the hard drive motors that act like bearings. The magnets are set to the record by the adhesivement of gorilla glue.

This picture is the both the magnetic rotor and the wire coil rotor. They are attached to each other by the hard drive motor ball bearing.

Coronet says it all…. not… This is where the hard drive motor ball bearing attaches to the magnetic rotor.

 The finished turbine. Looks like a sail boat but works efficient.
