10. Insert the battery and briefly connect electromagnet wires to the battery. If nothing

happens switch the wires. With the correct connection electromagnet repels the permanent

magnets and the rotor stops in the position shown below. This is a perfect test for the

electromagnet and the magnets orientation: rotate rotor quarter turn four times – if all

permanent magnets are oriented properly rotor should always stay in the position shown.

11. After you found the correct connection trim red (positive) wire from the battery holder and

corresponding electromagnet wire. Remove the insulation from the wire tips and twist them

together. You may tack this connection under the battery holder.

12. Fasten the reed switch to 1x2 brick with side holes using cable ties. Trim them with scissors.
