Introduction: Magnetic Levitating Pen/pencil
Making a magnetic levitating pencil
Supplies
1 pen/pencil
X-Acto knife
Cardboard
Glue
6 donut shaped magnets
Step 1: Measuring the Cardboard for Pencil Stabilizer
This is the part that connects to the pencil and stabilizes it.
Step 2: Measuring the Main Cardboard Price
Should be 6.5x6 (inches)
Step 3: Glueing the Pencil Stabilizer to the Main Price of Cardboard
Should be at the front edge
Step 4: Measuring How Far Apart the Magnets Should Be
They should be 3 3/4 and 2.5 inches. There should be a little whole for them to fit in. Glue them in. Make sure that when you put them in they don’t attract to the magnets. If they do then turn the magnets upside down and then it should work.
Step 5: Putting the Magnets on the Pencil
They should be 3 inches apart
Step 6: Make a Little Hole in the Cardboard So It Can Stabilize the Pencil From Going Crazy
Don’t make the whole too big or else it will ruin the point of the project
Step 7: Finishing It Up
Once you put everything in you should have a floating pencil
