Lego + Solar Power + Magnets = LEGO Mendocino Motor

Back in school, if you were a science student then you would have worked on the Mendo Motor. It is a solar-powered magnetically levitating motor that helps to understand the woodworking, electricity, magnestism and also the benefits of solar power. And if haven’t had a chance to try out your hand at this kind of project, then its time to get back to basics but with a bit of fun and play. The ‘fun and play’ here stand for the LEGO bricks. Take a look at this video and enjoy the perfect blend of toy plus science! Read here to understand the actual working of the Mendocino motor.
