And I disagree. Depends on your interests and training at a young age.A tablesaw is far more challenging than a transistor.

Not intentionally. But something obviously changed. A poor breadboard connection perhaps?This morning (didn't change anything!!!)
If you are talking about a PP3, "9V transistor radio battery", your making a bad decision. They are not ideal for a motor, they have voltage but not amperage or a long life in motor applications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-volt_batteryI'm going to change the 6v AAAs for a 9v battery.
Dad training. Training from work machinist's. We all eventually said that the table saw was the most dangerous piece of equipment in the machine shop at work, but there are still basic precautions. I was somewhat familiar with the lathe and mill in high school. Anyway, I did end up with 24/7/365 day access to the machine shop unsupervised.Suppose you just bought a table saw (like I recently did). Would you rush to cut some wood with it without first reading about safe operation? I hope you answered "of course not". I'm scared to death of my table saw and take every precaution I can think of, which was expanded by extensive online research.
The table saw is scary powerful. That causes intelligent people to be cautious. The quiet little drill press isn't very frightening, but it can spin a piece of sheet metal right through your hand. My point is that deception is more dangerous than big, scary, growlers. It's the one you don't see coming that gets you.We all eventually said that the table saw was the most dangerous piece of equipment...
There is some value in that statement, but I feel a personal rejection of it because I don't suffer from contempt of tools (or electricity). I've seen beginners upon whom I didn't bet whether they would ever be good (at their job), I bet on whether they would survive the first year. After the beginner stage, fools still get careless, and they have a lot more years to get careless than a beginner does.As a general rule, accidents usually happen when familiarity breeds contempt.
Max.

Don't give up on something like this.I'm giving up. Checked everything 10 times, cannot find what's wrong.

Not the ideal for the 1.5v little motor, I may have to slow it down now...
Nothing seems to be overheating, I can touch the transistor, not hot at all. And I have put a base resistor already.The lack of a base resistor and to some extent a a gate resistor and the lack of a proper heatsink will degrade a circuit. Not sure what, if anything, is appropriate here. Can you touch the MOSFET/transistor or is it too hot when running? That's what I see in my crystal ball.
