  • Lol, if you take the insulation off then it will short circuit, thats why the wire got hot.

  • Lol now get a nice bigass nail and a car battery

  • Where did you get the copper wire?

  • Oh I could use it as a hand warmer!

  • great job. In the future you only need to remove about inch of insulation from the two ends of the wire, the rest should stay insulated.Of course you probably know this now, but I figured I would say it.

  • And now on to finishing me EMP "project"

  • kid iron is a magnet

  • Kid you need to learn electromagnetism. Insulation is best!!?? Bro it wont be strong enough without insulation. Btw it burns because you are shorting the wires.

  • Hey friend,insulation is mandatory,else, the whole coil is a short,and the purpose of multiple winds is not served
