Mighty Magnetic Crane 

 
Class Content

Cranes combine simple machines to lift extremely heavy objects. Using the scientific principles behind simple machines, such as the lever and the pulley, cranes can multiply smaller forces to lift heavy loads to great heights, our magnetic crane uses two principles, pneumatic for lifting and electro magnet to interact with other magnetic fields.

Learning Outcome
What Mechanism does our crane uses?
> Brainstorming: Pneumatic-powered mechanism: Pressured air is used to lift the platform
Can we make magnets?
> Explaining concepts: Electromagnet: is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.

           How do electromagnets work?
           > Explaining concepts: Electromagnets: strength of an electromagnet can easily be changed by changing the amount of electric current that flows through it. The poles of an electromagnet can even be reversed by reversing the flow of electricity.
