Everyone said it couldn't be done, but there it was, running in his workshop where children from the neighbourhood gathered to watch with interest.Mr. Braschuk asked the local newspaper if they would write an article. The reporters promised they would at first but then began to doubt the motor's importance and broke their promise.

Children intuitively realize things of value that excite their curiosity.Mr. Braschuk was invited to a science symposium in Washington to discuss his motor. He met with other interested people as well. Mrs. Braschuk was always supportive and so they lived a long and happy life.Mr. Braschuk also talked to the children about his garden which was just as orderly as his workshop.
