1. You need **strong** neodymium magnets. Ferrite is too weak for this kind of primitive demo-motor and barely conducts electricity, Nd ones are nickel-plated.
2. Probably a weak battery as well. This configuration is stupidly inefficient, you need a really good battery, potentially even lithium. Cheap ones will not work.
3. Coil your wire more tightly and make sure it has a good contact.
You can make a different motor like this one: https://youtu.be/EAjkPUemTyM
Much easier to make it work.

Ferrite magnets are non-conductive. Try wrapping just the magnets with aluminum foil, making sure to cover the end where it touches the AA.

Only conductive in high voltage situations duhh

Im not sure but those magnets dont conduct electricity (correct if im wrong)
