Thermo-magnetic motor

Okay kiddo, so a thermo-magnetic motor is a special machine that makes energy by using heat and magnets.

You know how when you hold a magnet near a metal object, it can stick to it? Well, there are special metals called ferromagnetic materials that can be attracted to magnets.

So, in a thermo-magnetic motor, we use heat to make these ferromagnetic materials move closer to a magnet. When they do, they get pulled towards the magnet and start moving around it. This creates energy that we can use to power machines, like cars or generators.

Where does the heat come from? Usually, we use something called a heat source, like burning fuel or using the sun's heat. The heat makes the ferromagnetic materials move and create electrical power.

So, that's how a thermo-magnetic motor works! It's a really cool machine that can make energy by using heat and magnets!
