This site features award-winning, easy-to-build, and inexpensive electric motors originally designed by Stan Pozmantir for his science fair project in 1997-2000.

If you are looking for a simple science project, or if you wish to learn about electricity, magnetism, and electric motors, this web site has it all! It includes assembly instructions, a section devoted to how these motors work, and here you can find all parts necessary to build these motors.

The brushless DC motors shown on this site are extremely simple, and at the same time very stable, reliable, and efficient. The reed switch motor is the easiest electric motor anyone can build (and understand how it works!).

The motors shown on this page were widely used for educational purposes in different schools and colleges in the United States and other countries. The kits listed here helped the students to learn basics of electricity, magnetism, and electronics. Many people successfully built these motors using simple and clear instructions that were first published in May 1999.

Stan's science fair project won numerous awards at different regional and international science and engineering fairs; full list of awards and a brief description of his project is shown at About Us page.
