If this is the one with the screw, battery, magnet and wire… there was an explanation on the website.

Basicly the current flows from the center of the magnet to the side where you touch the wire. This is perpendicular to the magnetic field of the magnet. The interaction of the induced field and the field from the magnet causes the rotation.

I can’t give it better than this , sorry.
