High quality magnetic separator
PTMS magnetic separation
what is magnetic separation?
The easiest way to create a powerful magnetic field is to create a powerful electromagnet. Electromagnets are used to power a large number of scrap metal for miniature electronic switches (called relays). The density of the winding, the amount of current flowing through the magnet, and the material around which the wire is wound determine the strength of the magnetic field.
Select a piece of iron for the core. A 6 to 8 inch long piece of iron, such as a large nail or nail, will produce a strong magnetic field, but you can use a smaller or larger stick if you prefer.
Wrap the rod with wire (see Resources). Start at one end and wrap it all the way to the other end. Cut the wires and leave a few inches wide at both ends. Wrap it as tightly as possible. The tighter the winding, the stronger the magnetic field.
Wrap the magnet wire around the iron rod to secure it.
The insulation is stripped of the last inch of the ends of the magnet wire by heating with a lighter or match. Clean the residue with a clean cloth.
The exposed end of the magnet wire is glued under the coil of the lantern battery. This causes current to flow through the magnet, creating a magnetic field.
To get a stronger magnetic field, try connecting the magnet to a 12 volt power supply.
If too much power is put into the magnet, it may overheat or trip the circuit breaker.
