Electricity and Magnetism Projects & Experiments

Electricity & Magnetism

Study electricity without getting zapped! Build your own alternator that can be disassembled and rebuilt again and again with the Transparent Alternator Kit. Make the connection between electricity and magnetism. The easily assembled World's Simplest Motor is able to run for more than 5 hours on a simple D-Cell battery. We think you'll find our magnets especially "attractive". The Floating Ring Magnet Set is a great demonstration of magnetic fields - the colorful magnets float effortlessly above each other! Neodymium rare earth magnets are the strongest permanent magnets in the world! Made from neodymium, iron, and boron, these magnets are sure to stick to anything ferromagnetic - including computer gear and credit cards, so be careful!
