Instructions
on
how to make a magnet
. You will
need
:
1
long
ferrous
metal
object
;
1
cardboard
tube
that is
large
enough to
contain
the
long
ferrous
metal
object
;
1
House
hold
extension
cord
;
1
Wire cutter
;
1
Glue stick
;
1
Compass
;
1
Roll
of
scotch
tape;
1
Glass
jar
or
pyrex
;
1 Thin
strip
of
tinfoil
.
Procedure
:
1. Using the
wire cutter
,
cut
the
female
end of the
extension
cord
off, then
strip
off the
outer
layer of the
extension
cord
. _Do not_ strip the wires inside.
2.
Find
the
green
ground
wire.
Cut
it off.
3. Apply the
glue stick
to the
outside
of the
cardboard
tube
,
leaving
approximately
1/2
inch
on each end '
clean
' of glue.
4.
Coil
the wires
tightly
in one
direction
around the
cardboard
tube
.
Start
1/2
inch
from one
end
of the
tube
, and
stop
the same
distance
from the other
end
, so that
the wires
stick to the
tube
.
Leave
enough
wire
hanging at the
end
to complete the
next step
.
5. Take the
ends
of the
wires
and
strip
the ends.
Hang
the
wires
in the
jar
so that they are not
grounded
.
6.
Tape
the
wires
to the ends of the
strip
of
foil
. Make
sure
that the
wires
are in
contact
with the
foil
.
Tape
the
insulated
part of the wire to the
glass
container.
7.
After
making
sure
that you will not be
electrocuted
,
plug in
the male end of the extension cord. The
foil
fuse
will burn out almost
immediately
.
Unplug
the
project
from the wall, and
remove
the object. Place
one
end near the
compass
. If the
compass
does not change,
something
went wrong. If the
compass
points
its
south
needle at your new
magnet
, mark that
end
south
, and the other
north
. If the
compass
points
its
north
needle at your
magnet
, mark that end
north
, and the other
south
.
Congratulations! you now own a
homemade magnet
!
