Perhaps as long as 5,000 years ago, a group of sailors found skulls belonging to a race of hideous giants whom the ancient Greeks named cyclops. Dwelling in their mythical land, entrusting the fate of their crops to their evil gods and devouring any humans they could find, these creatures terrified generations of Europeans. Today, relatives of these monsters can still be found — roaming the African savannas or the Indian jungles, or even eating peanuts from the hands of small children in city zoos. In fact, the ancient Greek sailors found elephant skulls. What they mistook for single eye sockets were the nasal openings for the elephants' trunks. Over the centuries, our understanding of mammals, both living and extinct, has improved considerably. Just the same, scientists have made some mistakes.

We have aleady shown the working of the Homopolar Motor. A subsequent development of this motor was designed by Norihiro Sugimoto and Hideo Kawada, which involves sticking a neodymium magnet on both ends of an AA battery, and then placing this on a conducting surface. In order to get both torques to act in the correct direction so that rolling will occur, it is necessary to orientate each end magnet so that like poles face one another.

There are two problems with this motor. One is the difficulty in getting a good electrical contact between the magnets and the surface. The other is that eddy currents induced within the conducting surface itself acted as magnetic braking. See Lenz's Law Demo. An interesting development in the rolling mechanism has been made by Seán Stewart, from the Petroleum Institute in Abu Dhabi.
