The Mendocino Motor is a magnetically levitated, solar-powered electric motor. It functions by allowing electromagnets to rotate away from permanent magnets in the motor’s base. Solar panels are mounted on the barrel and convert light from LEDs into power, activating the electromagnets and repelling them from the permanent magnets. This action causes the entire motor to spin, bringing the next electromagnet into position. The central shaft around which the motor spins is supported at a single po

Mendocino Motor: vertical model- each face of a solar cell is connected to a coil of copper wire across from the opposing solar cell. When the rotor is lit from one side the lit solar cell provides electric current to the coil in the opposite position which becomes a temporary electromagnet that pushes against the permanent magnets in the base propelling the rotor to rotate. As the rotor turns, the coil that moves into the position near the magnet is likewise energized by the solar cell currentl

Vertical Mendocino Motor https://www.physicsfunshop.com/ Each face of solar cell is connected to a coil of copper wire. Spins fast and quite in a sunny window. As the rotor turns each solar cell takes a turn in the brightest light, which provides electric current to one of the coils which becomes a temporary electromagnet that pushes against the permanent magnet configuration in the center- propelling the rotor to rotate. The rotor assembly is nicely symmetric and balances on a sharp point for m
