Strings that are twisted together form magnetic coils. It's easy to make one of your own at home using supplies found at local stores. With a few simple steps to follow you can create your own field of magnets.
The core that is inside the magnet is made of anything containing iron. It would be best if the shape of it was cylinder but anything would work fine. The iron in the magnet is what will be used to amplify the magnetic field.
When an electronic coil is in a turned circuit it will use something called air core. It's not that hard for you to use that in your own design but it may not give the greatest results. Using a thin sheet of paper wrap it around the coil and make sure nothing is in the middle.
Your magnet will be really strong if you leave few spaces left between the wires. When coiling the wire it is best to use a twenty two gauge wire that has single strands. Also leave at least six inches of wire hanging from your coil. This will be needed when you want to use it later.
You will then need to find a way to fasten the coil to the core. Tape or glue will secure it together without any problems. At the end leave another six inches worth of wire so that you will have two sides with wire to use. That is the whole idea.
The coat that is protecting the wires needs to be stripped off. This can be done by burning the enamel. Once it has cooled to the touch rub the rest of it off with a clean cloth.
Your final product is complete. All you need now is some type of power source that will start the magnetic field. You can use something like a lantern. By placing the wire's stripped ends to the underside of the battery it will begin to work. You should be able to see it pick up small coils that are ferromagnetic.
The direction of electronic current can be tested with something called the right hand method. If the magnet is in your right hand whatever way the thumb is pointed is the flow of electric current. This process is mainly for those techs that need questions answered.
The coil that you just created is duplicated in manufacturers everywhere. It is used in MRI machines and generators. It's also found in your computer's hard disk and motors of our cars. Bigger equipment use huge ones that pick up scrap iron.
As you see this utensil is used in everything that you can think of in our world today. Even in hospitals were it is needed for someone else to survive. It's not difficult to make magnetic coils on your own in your home. It's actually fairly easy if you follow the steps outlined and using the equipment that is needed. Make one with your children it can be a fun process for them.
