Aluminum Wire Electromagnet

This shows a simple electromagnet using 1mm coated aluminum wire. I show it being used as a driver coil for a small pulse motor. The resistance on this coil is very low so I put a 3v flashlight bulb in series to lower the power drain. The 10F 2,7v super capacitor filled with 2.5 volts will run this motor for about 5 minutes.
