In this Project we attach a Merry Go Round to a Homo polar Motor. So, it becomes both a great toy and a splendid science model. For making it you need two Neodymium Magnets, 
1-5-volt Battery and 25-gauge Bare Copper Wire and an improvised Merry Go Round. The Neodymium Magnets will stick to the Steel Scissors. Stick the magnets to the base of a 1.5-volt Battery and shape the BARE COPPER WIRE in this shape. The circular loop on top will be the pivot and the curved parts will touch the magnets thus completing the electrical circuit. This will make the wire loop spin round and round. This is called the Homo polar Motor.
Now insert a small stick on the top wire loop and fix a cone on the stick ends. Hang six equally spaced beads on the cone. On giving the wire loop a kick start the Homo polar motor will start spinning. First it will spin slowly and then it will gain speed and the beads hanging by threads will lift up as in a Merry Go Round.
