Imagine building a working radio using only aluminum foil, wire and a diode. That's it. No battery required. Imagine making a spinning motor using only paper clips, a magnet, a bit of wire and a battery. Light a bulb by spinning a coil of wire next to a bar magnet. Make a telegraph click and send coded messages to a friend using just two paper clips, a nail, wire and a battery. Every day materials, indeed! These are all inventions with coils. With them you can explore the discoveries of Michael Faraday and Nikola Tesla, scientists and inventors whose work was essential to the creation of the electrical grid.
