Nov 7, 2018 at 8:22 comment added Oleenick Yeah that could have happened, but I'm pretty sure I tried only red and black first. I suspect that it may have also been broken before I used it
Nov 7, 2018 at 8:18 comment added Jasen Слава Україні I'd guess that you burnt out the mosfet that switches magnetic field while you were experimenting, eg: connecting blue to +12 would do that.

Nov 7, 2018 at 8:15 comment added Oleenick Yeah doing that results in a short jolt and nothing much else. I would try spinning it but I don't want to push reverse polarity into my switch mode psu. Is a switchmode psu good for this?
