This is a homopolar motor.

It’s really easy to experiment with at home. It is driven by the Lorentz force - the force which is exerted by a magnetic field on a moving electric charge. When a battery is placed on top of a magnet, and a wire then connects the top of the battery back down to the magnet, the circuit is complete.

Ev should have expected it, really. Things were going well. They had steady work for a full month, they were able to make every payment they needed to and had some cash to spare, they’d even found a box worth of valuable parts on a scavenge. Naturally, things had to go bad.

They hadn’t predicted the kind of bad that was being cornered at their house, chased inside, and trying to block off the door while a murderer attempted to smash it in, shouting threats, but. Well, they were overdue for an attempt on their life, weren’t they?

They stopped in the doorway, taking in the absolute disaster of their apartment. Car parts and electronics they'd been repairing were smashed and shattered on the floor, and through the door to the storage closet they could see a mess of biocomponents crushed and dropped on the floor. Aparently, he'd wasted some time to ruin as much of their work as he could.

Please include if you want answers for a particular verse or ship.

“Hav… Come on, they’re a friend..” Tina sighs, shaking the scruff of his neck to grab his attention. The shepherd makes a groaning sound as his ears swivel, leaning back in to snuffle at the mechanic’s hand, finally letting Ev touch him. His tail begins to hesitantly wag, flicking with a soft thump as they pet him.

In and out. In and out. It was easier when someone else was telling them to do things- easier than trying to wrangle their thoughts, and fight the shaking, and try not to cry. But easier didnt really translate to faster, and it still took a few minutes to get their breathing mostly okay.

“Just give me a second to put some manners on him and then you can push the door open and say hi.” She closes the door over slightly as she turns to the canine that had been nosing at her leg the entire conversation. A patter of paws followed by excited panting and Tina’s quick and sharp command to sit has the Alsatian in position, body completely trained to the front door.

Ev bit their tongue, pushing back against the cot, against the door, as he rammed into it again, hard enough to jostle the whole arrangement, and a dark corner whispered that 2 minutes might still be too long. The latch for the metal lock bar had long since torn out of the wall, ringing against the bar with every jolt, and they were going to have bruises across their back for a week from how hard they were pushing back, but they could hold for 2 more minutes, they could, they had to-

The next hit jostled the cot out of its place, no longer jammed against the dryer, and the one after sent Ev sprawling on the floor. The man cackled at them as they scrambled away. “There you are, you little shit! No where left to run, hah?!” He kicked past the cot, kicked them in the ribs, laughed again when they kept scrambling. Ev shoved another cot at him, but he barely flinched- he shoved it aside and kicked them over, pinning them on their back with a hand around their throat. “Thought about this a lot, y'know? Good to see you’re still scared shitless!”

“Get the fuck away from them, drop the knife, and get on the ground.” He all but growled out. A part of Hank almost daring the fucker to attack him with the knife. Give him a reason to shoot him again.

Unfortunately, the man was smart enough to realize this was a fight he wouldn't win, and despite giving Ev a furious look, he stepped back to the opposite wall and got down to his knees.

Tina is just hanging up a fresh towel when Havoc lets out a bark, signalling Ev’s arrival even after she hears the wrap of knuckles on her door. “Oh relax, they’re a friend.” She laughs at her Alsatian’s stiff and alert posture, his eyes trained to the door. It had been so long since she’d last hung out or even spoken to the mechanic, Tina had even adopted another pet while they’d been out of touch.
