If you wait out the ad, there is a demonstration of a motor made from a loop of copper wire, a AA cell, and a little neodymnium magnet. It's the first homopolar motor that I've seen that didn't use a mercury pool contact. Nice for school demonstrations, now that mercury has been officially declared Evil Stuff, even in gram quantities. If you run Windows, be sure to run virus and spyware scans after viewing.
