General project description
The ball bearing motor is a mystery because to this day no engineer knows how it works! No one understands the physical principle at all. Doing some experiments is necessary to investigate this motor and why it is that it rotates. Understanding the principle is important. It may not be useful for large motors, but it may be interesting for micromotors and micropumps that have numerous applications.
