[sdiy] Easy Magic! (Swirling Panels)

[James Patchell]

HSM is a great magazine...there was an article in there on building a 
"piston" electric motor, in fact, it was a 3 cylinder radial electric motor 
if I recall correctly....pretty bizare....the author noted that unlike 
regular DC motors, the piston motor did not produce any back emf....
