Quick Answer

A star-shaped copper disc turns on adjustable centres between the poles of a small horseshoe magnet on a wooden base. Its lower points dip into a mercury trough. One terminal connects to the disc's pillar and the other to the trough, so current flows through the disc and the magnetic force turns it.
