Pinball Wizard: Electromagnets

What did I learn?

 

  • I learned that the more coils the more paper clips you will pick up and i know that because we got 36 paper clips.

  • I also learned that that there is a north pole and a south pole on a magnet. And that they will power each other when they are facing each other.

  • I also learned that electromagnets were found in animals like dolphins and pigeons.

  • And that the force of an electro magnet can also be produced by an electric current through the wires.

How can I apply what I learned to my pinball machine.

Maybe I could have a metal ball then I could have a whole bunch of wires through out my pinball machine. I could have wires on my launcher and it could be connected to all of the wires in my pinball machine. And when you launch the ball the wire will have electricity and it could turn it on.
