Make an Electric Bell

Materials:
1.        Gong ( toy car )
2.        Hammer (battery cover sheet)
3.       Electromagnet ( Picture tube coil)
4.       9 V battery
5.       Simple Switch Mechanism.(hanging wire)
6.       Pole Supporting Hammer ( pen refill)
Electromagnet:
When electric current passes through a coil wound on a soft iron core ,iron acts as a temporary magnet. It acts as a magnet until current passes through it. I got this electromagnet from junk TV picture tube, works perfectly.
More the number of turns ,more the applied voltage the strength of electromagnet will increase.




Gong :
Look for it in some toy cars ,or else take some tensile metal .

Hammer:
Do it yourself. I made one out of a battery cover metal sheet.

Simple Switch Mechanism:
It is the switch mechanism which varies from bell to bell. It depends upon creativity of creator. Many types mechanism are available. I have used hanging type switch. Nothing but a simple strip of wire hanging down touching the hammer.
Whenever the hammer is pulled and released , the circuit opens and closes.








Pole:
A small pole is erected near the electromagnet , bearing spring and holding hammer. I used a pen refill as a pole and a spring around the refill. Which gives the necessary tension to the hammer.
