I have no clue how they work, and I get confused when someone tries to tell me. somebody smart talk to me with small words.

well the best way for you is ;

open a ready made electric motor ,
get some stuff which looks like the material or re open every part of the motor and bind it again
putt it all together the way ready made electric motor is/was .

once you have done this and even if the motor moves a bit you will find out how to make it and what were the mistakes you did
solve the problems with the design you have about the theory there are many geeks with north pole south pole and green land

Imagine if you could take two magnets and every time they pulled close to each other you could swith the North and south pole of the magnet. So the magnets would then repel. This is how a DC motor works. It uses electricity to make the magnetic field, and an armature to switch the field. It does this in a rotary fashion, and you use the spinning shaft to generate torque to move what ever you want.

In an AC motor, the ac current does the job of shifting the magetic field. These arrangments are basically push-pull.

Hope this helps.

Assuming you mean an electric motor....
As basically as I can. It is an electrical device. Coils of wire are wound around a magnet. The magnet is attached to a shaft. When the electric is on, it causes the wires to create a magnetic force. This force is opposite in direction to the magnets causing them to spin. As they spin the attached shaft also spins. A motor is born.

Can be explained in more detail and more complicated ways, describing poles, shifting fields, force interactions and such, but this is the absolute basic idea.

Hi. Most use a stationary coil magnet and a rotating shaft with magnets attached. The coil is set up with electricity coming in when the shaft is at a certain position. The magnets push against the coils magnetic fields. This causes the shaft to rotate, which then changes which coil NOW gets electricity. This repeats for as long as power is supplied.

There is a North and South magnet in the motor as well as an electromagnet. The electromagnet changes from north to south and pushes away the magnet that has rotated near it and pulls the other one towards it. once it has done half a rotation the electromagnet switches polarity and repeats the process. It helps to look at a picture too.

well, basically, an Electric Motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
there r dc motors and ac ones.
its main principle: a current carrying conductor (e.g.solenoid) in a magnetic field (e.g.between the poles of a bar magnet) induces motion.

all the rest of the story is about how to make use of this principle more efficiently!
