InstructionsWrap several turns of the magnet
wire around the steel shaft from
top to bottom When the end of the
shaft is reached continue winding in
the same rotational direction but back
up to the top Always continue winding
in the same direction When the top is
reached again continue back down
Continue to do this until the wire
wrapping is of sufficient length As
more copper wire is used the resistance
will increase and thus require an increased voltage to run
Use Ohms law to determine the coils necessary power requirements The current
drawn by the coil is equal to the supply voltage divided by the coil resistance Power
usage is calculated as volts multiplied by amperes The higher the gauge (smaller
diameter) used for the wrapping wire the higher the resistance through the coil will be
Increasing the resistance by either increasing the wires length or decreasing its
diameter for example necessitates a higher voltage to draw an equal amount of
current and thus to maintain the same power

How to Make a Lifting Electromagnet
Electricity and magnetism are closely related and are in
fact actually two aspects of the same phenomenon
Although much is still unknown about the nature of these
forces the basic concept is that an electric current produces
a magnetic field This field can be controlled through
various means to produce electromagnets with specific
operational power ranges and lifting strength By wrapping
several turns of copper wire around a magnetic material
such as iron and controlling the electrical power through
the conductor a magnet of any strength can theoretically
be produced with sufficient ingenuity

Secure the wire wrapping with tape or tie the end of the copper wire into a knot so it
cannot unwind
Remove about an inch of enamel or insulation from each end of the wrapped wire This
electrically exposes the conductor and the wires serve as the terminals for the
electromagnet
Attach the two ends or terminals of the electromagnet to a variable voltage or variable
current power supply either directly or using alligator clip jumper wires
Turn on the power supply and adjust voltage until the electromagnet is of desired
strength

Tips amp Warnings
Magnetic field strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two
objects If a paper clip can be lifted an inch away by a certain electromagnet it would take another
electromagnet nine times stronger to lift the same paper clip at a distance of three inches (3 2)
Keep in mind magnetic fields are not properly explained by classical physics Quantum physics
and therefore advanced mathematics are needed to provide better prediction of what will happen
under certain conditions
For the engineer of lifting electromagnets however a trial and error approach can usually suffice to
produce a strong enough electromagnet
Generally a stronger current produces a stronger magnetic field If the wrapping of your copper wire
is 10 ohms and you place 30 volts across it 3 amperes will flow 30 volts multiplied by 3 amperes is
90 watts
The resistance of the copper wire wrapped around the steel shaft will create heat Expect that the
electromagnet will get hot and handle it appropriately although this will not necessarily be the case
In the worst case the enamel or insulation over the copper wire will burn and catch on fire The
copper itself may even become hot enough to melt Consider placing a fuse in line with the
electromagnet to protect the power supply in the event that this happens
