Slider2732 | Lidmotor's 90 degree dancing rotor @Slider2732 | Uploaded November 2014 | Updated October 2024, 16 minutes ago.
An experiment was posted yesterday by Lidmotor and this is my version...getting a dancing toy to spin a rotor around at 90 degrees.
Used here is a dancing scarecrow (from Dollar Tree).
The rotor is made from a bottle top, with 4x tiny neodymium magnets around it, all poles facing the same direction.
The batteries keep the tower from falling over and magnets on the stick keep the rotor from falling over.
It works very well once things are set up.
The rotor is first spun by hand slightly and then when it balances down to the speed of the scarecrow movement, it carries on.

Also shown are a couple of battery free clocks.
Here's the demo video, with circuit diagram:
