Make your own electromagnet using items you already have around your house. (It's easier than you may think!) For more detailed directions and an explanation of why it works, check out www.ScienceOffCenter.org .

  • @QuimDosChurros BTW, be careful because it can get REALLY hot as you are using a short circuit.

  • @edmunds357 Use a metal rod with a lot of spirals and a battery and you get a more powerful magnet. the stronger the power source for the electromagnetic field, the stronger the magnet.

  • i dont like because you dont tell how to build a very strong magnet :(

  • Mine worked out, but thats also getting hot after some time.

    How to stop this heating? I wish to make it work continuously without getting heated.
