![]() DO NOT: connect it, this will cause one of the six electromagnets that you just made to turn on and waste power. Step 6: Then, put the extra strand that's attached to the tip of the railroad spike close to the negative side of the battery set. Step 5: Connect the extra strand that's attached to the base of the railroad spike to the positive side of the battery set. Step 4: Put each set next to or near the spikes, but still on the base. Put each of the batteries into the battery holders. What I mean by connect is put it in a manner so that, if you hooked a set up to a light, the light wouldn't get 1 battery power, it would get 5 times the power of 1 battery Hence 5 batteries per set. Do this 6 times, there should be one set for each spike. Step 3: Once that's done, connect 5 battery holders together. I would keep the extra feet of wire on the ends bent so they point outwards. Step 2: Repeat Step 1 for all six railroad spikes. Leave about at least a foot of extra wire hanging from the end on the base, and at least two feet of extra wire on the end of the tip of the spike. Now we're really getting started! Step 1: (Note: Flat part=base, Pointed part=tip) From the base of the railroad spike, wrap the magnet wire around it counterclockwise while all the while attempting not to leave any space in between strands and wrapping as tightly and as close together as possible, up to the tip of the railroad spike. I don't think a really need to point that out do I?) 13: Hot Glue Gun (w/ hot glue sticks obviously)(yes, you need this AND the duct tape) That's all. ![]() Battery Holders (Same amount as the amount of batteries your getting.) 12: Measuring Tape (For measuring. I would recommend getting iron screws that were that size if you can find them) 9. (I used the screws that were already on the board(plus another board's screws). this base is meant for maneuverability so you could take you hoverboard to test in different locations. (Large enough to fit three skateboards side by side) DO NOT: use a floor as a base. That's what I based my measurements on.)(Also, make sure its one you're not afraid to dismantle) 7. A Standard Skateboard (I would suggest Tony Hawk skateboards. (and yes I said fifty of them, not a typo) 6. DO NOT: get power saver batteries or anything that the package says "longer lasting" this means it uses less energy than regular batteries, and you're going to need a LOT of energy. Duct Tape (You can never have too much duct tape) 5. ![]() 300-400' enameled copper wire(AKA: Magnet Wire) 20 AWG (I would suggest Remington Industries for this) 3. I don't think railroad companies even use them anymore!) 2. ![]() (Could you believe all they use these for now is for antiques and knife-making faires. Get more if you plan on building a stronger, or larger scale hoverboard) MATERIALS: 1. (Keep in mind this is based on my design. ![]()
