Homemade Magnet - Sick Science!

[MrLoverandy]

if we wrap that wire on our arm .......... will it work

[TeddiBeaRxLove]

electromagnet .. physics

[Lucifer9387]

Could you try this with a car battery?

[Pilotguy251]

Could you use this music in more of your Sick Science videos?

[CardTrickPerformance]

the electricity flowing through the wire is only moving in one direction, and since the closest thing in its magnetic field is the nail, made of Iron, a magnetic mateirial, the iron will become a magnet. what i like about electro magnets is that you can turn them on and off.

[izzywizzy2310]

All we did in science was bang the nail on the table and it worked ;)

[lilpete313]

Ohh Steve, you sneaky little fellow switching up the music.

[99SmoshMan]

doesn't it get hot after a while by the short circuit

[mentalism100]

Its called an electromagnetic force

[xXqtip36Xx]

thanks i used this for my science project at school got an A

[Keeganschannel]

Opposites attract the paper clips are positivly charged, and electrons from the battery are negatively charged. So as opposites they attract, i may have screwed up the proton/electron positive/negative thing. But i learned about the stuff last week in science class XD

[Fredde1Widde]

Well, step 4 isn't either that necessary.....

[SCZMJGclub]

I did thin in 1st grade 😃

[Dragonslayer10203040]

hey, different music!

[jarodbrown33]

If you increase the voltage does it make it stronger?

[C4dArtGuy]

i try this with a aaa battery and when i connect the wires it burn!

[ahilan914]

The wire and battery draw power from you and convert it into magnetism.

[jaredtheavenger]

I learned this in 5th grade...

[068christian]

wa this remind me of my experiment when i was on grade 6 haha not actually cool anyway

[FuJi1616]

this is our FIFTH GRADE PROJECT!!!

[Armyguywizerdo16]

we did this a month ago in science class

[Armyguywizerdo16]

we did this a month ago in science class 

[Armyguywizerdo16]

we did this a month ago in science class :D

[Armyguywizerdo16]

we did this a month ago in science class :D

[kikook222]

Make sure the wrapping is perfect. Any inproperly wrapped area will mess this up

[kyle110438]

@NaNstupiddude666 it doesnt, they dont put ac power in batteries they put dc in them

[stefanija123able]

you just explained how magnets work

[hockeylover1990]

Does it make a neodymium magnet please answer

[rbandgh3]

@hockeylover1990 no it doesn't. this is an electromagnet. a neodymium magnet is a rare earth magnet. Made out of element number 60, Nd, Neodymium.

[TheMakinsense]

FINALLY! NEW MUSIC!

[Lanceawright]

Erik Lensherr



[CrazyNatalie22]

how will this help us in life?

[iPipzZ]

i learnt this when i was 11...im still 11

[icyshadow0]

@iPipzZ I learned it when I was 9. I'm 11 now.

[TheLuigi805]

well, the battery probably charges the nail with energy by using the wire as a conductor, and the charge is strong enough to attract the paper clips?

[RaWEQ1670]

interactions



[rpspcp]

i already did this for my science project and i one frist place and over all and by the way you stol that from me!!!!

[ursocraiz]

so much easier than rubbing a nail against a magnet for 20 minutes... im actually serious... you made my day

[probano]

Electromagnetism ^_^

[MosterHamster]

cool and simple , you have just earned a sub :D

[ELBON6]

Is there a homopolar engine video bye these guys?

[Stevespanglerscience]

@ELBON6 try searching Homopolar Motor Version 2 - Sick Science!

[ventusdude88]

will the magnet work for the homopolar motor version 2??

[brady8201]

Hell Yeah

[mmantell973]

does a AA battery work?

[jedi22300]

@mmantell973 yes

[rhenz0404]

CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER ME WHERE TO BUY NEODYMIUM MAGNET IN THE PHILIPPINES? AND IS HOMEMADE MAGNET + HOMOPOLAR MOTOR POSSIBLE? CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO OF IT? BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T CREATE IT, 36 CLASSMATES OF MINE WILL KILL ME! I'M GRADE SIX

[OKMUNWURX]

Use 66 feet per volt and you won"t over heat the wire if using larger battery or power supply. For D cells use # 26 to #32 copper wire ... 100 feet per battery. Have fun.

[brancholive65]

isn't this song on Farmville?

[criticaboutvids]

Electromagnetism has always made me wonder...

Dinkleberg..

[SuperMRAgent]

Ive plug it on 5 gigawatt and my house get to the nail ...

Awesome :D

[oomblikkies]

It may be better to hold the battery with some rubber gloves on, because I think there is a chance to short the battery through your bare hands and thus making the iron nail a less powerful magnet.

[TechnologyMe]

It's an Electromagnet... *-_-

[Antland14]

good music!

[toneandchris]

wa i know about those there called electric magnets im 9 and i already learnd abot those duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!!

[SarahsCreations]

we did this in science class!

[BrysonTrujillo95]

Its an electromagnet. i have one similar to this. The current from the battery travels through the wires around the nail and generates a magnetic field magnetizing the nail 

[BRDragonlair101]

An electromagnet is a magnet made from a coil of wire that acts as a magnet when an electric current passes through it but stops being a magnet when the current (which is the battery) stops. Often, an electromagnet is wrapped around a core of ferromagnetic material like steel, which enhances the magnetic field produced by the coil. Thus making it able to pick up steel objects.

[BRDragonlair101]

Often, an electromagnet is wrapped around a core of ferromagnetic material like steel, which enhances the magnetic field produced by the coil. Thus allowing the electromagnet to pick up steel objects in its magnetic field. The wire attached to the battery coiled around the nail sends an electric impulse through the wires,

[iparty999]

So this is how magnets work!

[CTmera]

Magnets, how do they work?

[shourieram]

yaaay ! we did this in the 8th class as physics experiment !!

[luigi90900]

I picked up the paperclips without magnetizing the nail.

[MegaPrincess1998]

Why my siccers can pick up splater bullet

[123Happypancake]

stever your awesome, please reply!

[greatwin15]

I am confused does does the magnetic flux make the nail, a magnet.the man does not get shocked but yet the current goes through the wire and effects the nail. when he makes the coil i think the only thing that is affected is the inner part of the coil.?

[sadfrog1]

@greatwin15 When a current is sent through a coil, a mangetic field is created. using the "right hand rule" you can see which direction the electrons travel to, thus creating a positively, or negatively charged end at the bottom depending on the direction of the electrons.

[ElizabethADuncan]

sweet

[jojo10260]

1 go to the store

2 buy the magnet

3 enjoy it

[emilya321cprocks]

Awesome!!! Hmm... I don't really know the answer... Hmm. It has to do with the wire and iron and nail and battery.. Seems awesome and unbelieving at the same time!!!

[bakntime]

Like 95% of these tricks were on Mr. Wizards World.

[America21345]

i thought everyone knew how to do this

[MrChickn]

Is the 1st step really necessary?

[jokubas1234]

@MrChickn yes

[HDCYTY]

@MrChickn I guess it shows that it wasn't a magnet in the first place.

[idiotAREstupid]

@MrChickn yes! it let you know is the nail magnetism

[ahilan914]

@MrChickn no

[UraeusAnkhAmon]

@MrChickn Yes if you have done it multiple times!

[nocturnallyinsane]

@MrChickn Some of the nails I've come across were already magnetized. Perhaps that is what he meant by testing the nail? *shrug*

[varmen619]

this is electromagnetism!

[sweet11cecile]

@varmen619 exactly!!

[14Greekboy14]

how do magnets work ?

[06sabbeth062]

is an elctric magnet and and a magnetic field is created in the solenoid and the elctrons align and make a magnet wow not that cool.

[acche2]

Wouldn't the wire get hot?

[TheChelsii11]

I know how to do this, we made it in school

[TntTomPyro]

The title should read "Homemade Electromagnet

[islandfireballkill]

0:15 - 0:20 thats not how you do it :)

[ScouseHouseMafia11]

did anyone else see the word science written in red at 0:44 ?

[reggaeboi7]

@ScouseHouseMafia11

That's the point, man.

[chare002]

This is electromagnetisim it is the way those cranes work at  at those rubbish dumps

[cooltennis01]

It,s a electro magnet

[joemomma824]

this is a basic solenoid, a current carrying wire in a loop creates an electric field, and according the the RHR, since the wire loops around the front of the screw first then the north pole is directed towards the bottom of the screw, thus attracting the electrons in the paper clips :) STUDYING FOR AP PHYSICS B EXAM FTW

[oveshmomin1]

It's an electromagnet

[georgecarra]

what a cool trick !!

[jocax188723]

Simple electromagnet.

[killchhorn]

pple complain too much the music! what's wrong with u, or u mad? it's science!

[fly12f]

kool



[aurestest]

Awwww I wanted to see him burn himself, u should have used a more resistive wire :(

[gigsters42]

Did this in clas at the beginning of da year!

[GTUTS4U]

the music is awsome!

[Dogdog29]

id rather just buy a magnet for a buck

[roborovskihamsters]

coil = magnetic field

[MillyMad10001]

I know

[iSoMuchWin]

OR You could just buy a magnet...

[Loxter123]

we did this at school XD

[SheWhoPlaysBaritone0]

the only thing i learned magnetic domains line up

[SheWhoPlaysBaritone0]

The electricity causes the magnetic domains to line up, the only thing i learned

[SheWhoPlaysBaritone0]

The electricity causes the magnetic domains to line up, the only thing i learned in 8th grade this year

[JimmyWOWOlsson]

@SheWhoPlaysBaritone0 Same ;)

[THExLOVExLETTERS]

steve ... i bet u cant read this ...

[mahimahimindy]

i used to make these when i was a kid but now since im a science teacher i like teaching what you teach me from your videos :) you think you can teach me more? im a young teacher still learning

[KholdStare54]

Holy crap. It's not about the music.

[Striker5551]

Basic electro magnet

[zimtower]

When you run electricity through an iron nail, it attracts holy energy. When the holy energy is concentrated enough, it rips an invisible portal between heaven and earth. Through this portal, god's hand reaches out with a real magnet and pulls the paperclips towards the nail.

[MoeyXD]

You guys are awesome. I'm doing your experiments at school now for a show.

Outside of that you guys are still awesome. It's obvious that they criticize the music because they can't criticize the video.

[FORCE153153]

Did this in 3rd grade

[123whatmeworry]

MAJIK!

[christianalen11]

We did this in science a few weeks ago :D

[BlackyChan911]

loving the joyious themed music..

[DudeGuyNimNim]

EVERYBODY unlike some peopleim here for the expirement NOT THE MUSIC!!!! if you eant the music go to the old videos!!!! geez!!!!

[RatkoUSA]

Ye olde electromagnetic nail. We did this one when I was a kid back the 1460s. Boy, those were the days!

[ncBlowfish]

To make an ultra strong electromagnet just put the wires in the power socket in your wall!

[huckleberrykid]

car battery+ steel rope +re-bar=AWESOME

[Arvak777]

I so gotta try that, i have way too many paperclips in my book bag

[glumur96]

mmm..

I like this music.

its warm

[darklegobuilder]

do we have to use a c battery

[brando3747]

because opposites attract

[coolfavs28]

Last time I checked this was about science >.> Not music lol I'm just sayin

[DougFnDrake]

LOVE the new music! i think the old was distracting from the video

[GuitarStrummer2k10]

simple electromagnet, when current passes through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire, to concentrate this magnetic field, it is made into a coil, also the iron nail helps, as it is a magnetically soft material

[ArtistWoOoOo]

just physics we learnt in highschool or secondary...

[Thankots]

If they;re not having any copyright issues or something, I do not see the point of actually using this kind of music.

[Stevespanglerscience]

@Thankots everyone needs to relax... these are FREE experiments we are doing. We plan on using the other music, but when we partner with another company to put together experiments, we like to change the music. The other music will still be used, don't worry!

[Thankots]

@Stevespanglerscience We're just having fun, no hard feelings.

It's just that the other one has a touch of epicness in it.. lol.

[Taztingo]

@Stevespanglerscience i continue to say that i like this music a million times better -- love the videos. don't change anything.

[kaydo29]

@Stevespanglerscience Steve dont pay any mind to any of these jokers. What ever music you chose is fine. The Experiments are fun and educational. I plan on doing them over the summer break.

[flintp51]

@Stevespanglerscience lol. It looks as if this YouTube channel has been defined by the do de do de music.

[asaguda]

@Thankots It's not like this music is bad.

[y512516]

@Thankots

Whats wrong with this music , its nice and relaxing

[Films4You]

Quite Often if you take the coil off the nail will still have some Magnetics

[pyroboy571]

if you leave the wire around the nail for a while, then the nail gets hot. its cool

[maribakumon]

It's done by something that's not magic, but sorcery.

[MythOfEchelon]

Anyone who doesn't know how this works is a retard :L

[kkeenn123]

A magnetic field is created whenever electric currents run.

[onfe1]

Be warned the battery gets hot

[AlistairAI]

Shouldn't that be "Homemade Electro-Magnet - Sick Science!"?

[morto360]

YAY for the music!!!!!!! <3

[mylego33]

Ok I guess

[jediboy96]

how come your fingers aren't getting burned by the exposed wire? every time i do something like that it gets really hot really fast.

[ikeikeforty]

the old theme song is better, this one sounds like the 50s

[AlistairAI]

Shouldn't that be "Homemade Electro-Magnet - Sick Science!"?

[Thegboy107]

i did this at school :D

[goobert3]

the AC from the battery causes a small magnetic pull then when u add the extra wire wraped around the nail it causes a magnetic feild ...i would go more into detail but i dont feel like it

[3xplos10n]

how do they work

[jamesthetycoon]

This is fake the wire had plastic on it so the electricity could not of got to the nail!

[mistaecco]

elecromagnets! win!

[mistaecco]

awesome!

[italianwog28]

nice, i think the battery transfers the electricity to the wire and then it is transferred to the wire to make a magnetic reaction

[souljajoeandtheowl]

@italianwog28 no its something to do with aliging the molicules in it

[koolaidsfunny]

The coiling electricity around the metal rod of the nail creates charges that attract and repel causing magnetism (electromagnetism)

[Frodohasafro11]

Aahaha The music..... lalalallalalalalala

[MrSTLucho]

i was thinking of a magnet, like buckyballs or something like that

[yondaime500]

@MrSTLucho The nail retains the magnetic properties for some time after you turn it off, due to hysteresis. But it's not nearly as strong as a permanent magnet, so you can't make buckyballs with it.

[eeveelover1121]

electro magnet

[eeveelover1121]

electro magnet -.- duh

[eeveelover1121]

104TH veiwer! im so proud!

[MrSTLucho]

awesome

[bucbill1775]

Careful with this one, it gets hot.

[GuardianOfClouds]

Lol, that's so ghetto

[BlurConfusion]

awesome



[MrBluddySkullz]

YAY

[IAirelandairsoft]

the electricity runs through the nail and acts as a a magnet. This is one of the effects of electricity

[iceboy1671]

wrong music

[zeLudoo]

@iceboy1671 I find it PERFECT :D

[piandcompany]

most defiantly not first, 42nd

[paintballhead03]

cool
