High Frequency Vibrator (II)
Take a paperclip and straighten it out, bend it in half, and place it
into the electromagnet (M3) center. Connect the electromagnet
to points A & B with the jumper wires and hold it about 1 inch
above the table. Slide the adjustable resistor (RV) control lever
around slowly, you will hear a clicking sound from the relay (S3).
Adjust the electromagnet height and resistor control lever until
the paperclip vibrates up and down on the table. It will vibrate at
a fast rate but will not move very high. Usually this works best
with the electromagnet about one inch above the table and the
resistor control about mid-way to the right side, but your results
may vary. See how high you can make the paperclip bounce.
Adjust the electromagnet height and resistor control lever to
change the height and frequency of the vibration.
