Each Specific part of a motor is vitally important in order for the motor to run.
The battery is used as a power source to help create mechanical energy.
The 2 paper clips are used to help carry a current through the battery all the way to both end of the coil.
The coil is the main part of the motor. The coil is the conductor. The inductor is based off of how many turns in the coil there are and if the coil surrounds an iron core.
The magnet provides a magnetic field in the motor

We scraped the armature of the coil a certain way because it determines the way the motor spins. If both sides of the coil were completely scraped, the motor would just teeter-totter the whole time instead of going in a full circle. We strip only one side on one side of the coil and the complete side of the other side of the coil so that when the motor wants to keep going back n forth, it won't let it, and it will keep going in one direction.

An electric current in a magnetic field will experience a force. The coil will experience forces going in the opposite way. The loops in the coil provide a torque and the magnetic field is produced by an electromagnet arrangement called the field coils. The pair of forces created, creates a torque to rotate the coils.

The motor could be used to power any small device. Because the Induction wont be very big, it probably wouldn't power a big device.
