WOW! I have GOT to build one of those!--that's the most amazing use yet
that I've seen for this principle. If I were a teacher at an elementary
school, I'd be going doubly nuts -- what a great introduction to motors!!
So, you discovered the principle of wired-together motors more or less by
accident?--then, while tinkering, and, upon realizing what was going on, you
devised a "magic trick" to demonstrate? That is so perfect!
Great tantalizing sequence of photos, too! :) :)
