Great video finally someone explains the basics of how to make a compass. I have just one question would a stainless steel work in the place of the aluminium, I think stainless steel does not affect the magnetic field of the magnet. And I also wanted to know if the case could be made out of stainless steel. I'm asking this because I want to use the concept to make one that looks vintage.
Thank you for visiting. Please note that some stainless steel components may affect the magnetic field. I think the case can be made of stainless steel, which does not affect the magnetic field
Very nice video for making magnetic compass....Please share measurement details of plastic container, nail, small screws and round & long sheets used for making it.
Thank you for visiting. The inner diameter of the plastic is 38mm and the height is 25mm. A neodymium magnet has a diameter of 6 mm and a thickness of 2.5 mm. The countersunk screw has a diameter of 2 mm and a length of 15 mm. The nail is 1mm in diameter and 17mm in length. The aluminum plate has a diameter of 37 mm. The long side of the rectangular paper is 111mm and the widths are 5mm and 10mm.
I really like your compass design. We are making 80 of these and I don’t want to have to cut out that many circles from aluminum cans. Could a flexible plastic be used instead?
How is it do u make it so it’s the accurate in terms of North South etc.. This is for a school project so I need to explain how it’s accurate and how it’s magnetic
In addition to aluminum, copper, brass and plastic can be used. Anything that disturbs the Earth's magnetism, such as iron or stainless steel, cannot be used. Thank you for watching.

compass ins interesting but can you put in detail where did u get the parts from (aluminium can) is it from a bottle ? also put the links for the part to buy online if possible?. pretty new to science project and not sure where to buy these parts
Aluminum is a can of juice or beer. Other parts were also purchased at the DIY store. I didn't buy it online. Neodymium magnets and iron screws don't really care about their dimensions. All you have to do is fit it in a plastic case.
Thank you for watching. The plastic case has a diameter of 40 mm and a height of 30 mm. Neodymium magnets are 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick. The aluminum plate has a diameter of 37 mm, the iron nail has a diameter of 0.8 mm and a length of 17 mm, and the iron screw has a diameter of 2 mm and a length of 15 mm. Are there any other required dimensions?
That's so simple, smart and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!
Thank you for your comment.

@@yattemita4447 Woaw thank you for answering that quickly. Do you have any other kind of metal to recomend me to replace the cardboard pieces?
I think any material that does not affect the magnetic field can be used in place of cardboard. For example, aluminum, brass, copper, etc.
What if the compas magnet is so strong that the compass goes flying to antartica or the North pole
Thank you for your comment.
😂😂😂
Are you gone mad
You have the best example on you tube. Nice and neat.
Thank you for your comment.
could please give the in structions on how to make a magnetic compass looks really cool
Please see the video for how to make it.
This is what was looking for.
Found some magnetic rocks while magnet fishing, do you think those will work?
Thank you for your comment.
I think it will not work with magnetic rocks.
What is the cost of that neodymium magnet you used?
And how can I get it?
Thank you for visiting.
I bought it at a nearby 100 yen shop.
It is 100 yen for 8 pieces.
If you don't have a store near you, look for it online.
You can get this magnets from speaker of any earphone 😂

Thanks for sharing.... it's awesome. Can I use hard paper board instead of aluminum?
I don't know because I haven't done it.
No it's not working... Just now trying. Let's try using plastic board.
How do differ the n and s direction after the nails stop moving
After the nail stops moving, N indicates north on the Earth and S indicates south.
Say you wanted to make a working compass inside a metal stopwatch. Would it still work or does it need to be plastic?
I think to work as long as such as copper or aluminum, which does not disturb the magnetic field.
@@yattemita4447 okay thank you! I think it's iron tho? I'll look into it. Thanks for answering!
Is there anything we can use instead of aluminum can ,if yes then please reply as it is my school project . ??
I think a plastic plate is fine.
How do you balance the tip of the nail
Use iron screws of the same weight.
great and thanks i will try it.
Thank you for your comment.
Please try it.
ok
i am going to try today
@@yattemita4447 are you Japanese I like Japanese.
Beautiful job
Thank you for your comment.
@@yattemita4447 are you from United States of America 🌷
No I am japanese.
@@yattemita4447 i love the Japanese because they're smart minded greetings to you 🥀🥀🥀
I do not have alumunium bottle so what can i use instead of that
I think a thin plastic plate is fine.
@@yattemita4447 ok
I really like your compass design. We are making 80 of these and I don’t want to have to cut out that many circles from aluminum cans. Could a flexible plastic be used instead?
If the axis of the compass can be supported, I think plastic is also acceptable. Please try it.
yattemita３２５ I ordered very thin acrylic discs...I’m going to try it and see if it works and let you know. We will drill tiny holes in the top disc.
I too
We have make hole in both the alluminium circles? Or only in the top one?
Looks like both have holes but because the needle had to poke through them, i think only the one on top is the one that actually needs it
Both aluminum circles are perforated.
How is it do u make it so it’s the accurate in terms of North South etc..
This is for a school project so I need to explain how it’s accurate and how it’s magnetic
This video shows how a compass is made using neodymium magnets, not a school project.
i was doing it for a school
project
Why do some people say “north north” east/west or “south south” east/west why do they say it twice?
I don't know why
I believe its because some compasses have more than just the regular N S W E and NW NE SW SE written down
Would a ferrite magnet work too? Or would it be not strong enough?
Ferrite magnets may not work because they are not as strong as neodymium magnets. If you have a ferrite magnet, please try it.
I tried to make my own compass seeing your video but I used paper board instead of aluminum foil.. It didn't worked. why?? ☹️🤔
Can the magnet rotate freely?
@@yattemita4447 no
Try adjusting it to rotate freely
@@yattemita4447 okay. Thank you
That's really awesome and easy.. thanks a bunch..!
Guess it's a new project for the children this coming holidays.. hehehe.
どうもありがとうございました
Thank you for your comment.
Can you use a regular magnet instead of a neodymium magnet?
I'm not using.
It's not hard to find a neodymium magnet it's also in handsfree/headphones
could you give me the instructions I would like to try this please
Which instructions?
Can i use cardboard instead of aluminium?pls tell me ASAP
I don't know because I didn't do it with cardboard.
I think a plastic sheet would work
@@yattemita4447 will a paper sheet will work?
I think paper sheet will don't as well as plastic.
@@yattemita4447 I used plastic sheet but it didn't worked it remained still pls help
That help me soo much thanks alot and I'm thinking of making my own compass 😁
Thank you for your comment.
other than neodymium magnet, can we use other small magnet ?
I can't say anything because I don't know the size.
Hi.. your video is nice👌. I have a doubt.. do we have to use only aluminum as base?
In addition to aluminum, copper, brass and plastic can be used.
Anything that disturbs the Earth's magnetism, such as iron or stainless steel, cannot be used.
Thank you for watching.
Can I use soda can material instead of aluminiam
Can be used if it is not made of iron
nice video but what are the measurements of the things?
Thank you for visiting.
The inner diameter of the plastic is 38mm and the height is 25mm.
A neodymium magnet has a diameter of 6 mm and a thickness of 3 mm.

@@yattemita4447 thank you so much! this was really helpful
compass ins interesting but can you put in detail where did u get the parts from (aluminium can) is it from a bottle ? also put the links for the part to buy online if possible?. pretty new to science project and not sure where to buy these parts
Needs more specific details like whats the neodymium magnet dimension 6X2mm or 6X3mm iron screw and nails exact name and dimension if possible.
Aluminum is a can of juice or beer.
Other parts were also purchased at the DIY store. I didn't buy it online.
Neodymium magnets and iron screws don't really care about their dimensions.
All you have to do is fit it in a plastic case.
Can I use cardboard instead of aluminum
I haven't used it, but I think it's possible
Who did you set the magnet in the iron nial
Thank you for watching.
Cool! It didn’t work for me tho.. what type of screws and nails did you use
The magnetic pull didn’t work
Screws and nails are made of iron.
Does it really works??????
It works.
Can we use aluminium foil please tell
I think the aluminium foil is not strong enough to support the magnet.
Can we use a plastic glass
I don't use it so I don't know
Is there any another idea to make compass please share the link here
I also made a compass that floats a magnet in water.
Please see that as well.
ua-cam.com/video/H_GnSLuuVHY/v-deo.html
I don't want to make water compass
Please share the link compass but it should be not water compass
Never seen a compass needle react that way before. He's got a magnet under the table.
Thank you for your comment.
That's right. Magnets are in the earth. Far under the desk.
@@yattemita4447 🤣 I'll just leave this conversation there
@@martinbachrodt745 hes not wrong, all that stuff moving inside earths core acts as a magnet
@@yattemita4447
..Excellent reply ! 😄👌🏼🤘🏼💚
Is it necessery to use 2 aluminium can
You don't need two aluminum cans, one is enough.
Can we use cardboard instead of aluminium can
how can i get a plastic case just like yours
I bought it at a 100 yen shop.
Plz do a review and use your to find things plz make vedio on it
Where can we find the plastic case? Can you give link if it is available online?
I bought it at a 100 yen shop near my house.
@@yattemita4447 oh, but I'm unable to find it.
Unfortunately I do not have any further information.
Which type of plastic we can use instead of aluminium can
I think a plastic plate is fine
Can we wait this without aluminium can with cardboard
There are no plans for that.
I don't have round shape neodiyum magnet can I use square shape
I think you can do it with square shape.
Can we use a small neodymium megnet like 1/3 of your megnet?
I've never used the 1/3 magnet so I don't know.
if we have no aluminium can, we can use aluminium foil or not ?
I think the aluminium foil is not strong enough to support the magnet.
Is there anything else you can use instead of the iron nails?
If it's not iron, it's impossible because it won't stick to a magnet.
Can we use foil paper
I think that foil paper is not strong enough.
Wow! This is neat, and also amazing!
Thank you for your comment.
Gand
It's so easy and useful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your comment.
T
he nail passes through both the holes?
Both are drilled.
I made it but it is not working😢
Do magnets rotate freely?
No my magnet is not like your
What kind of magnet?
Black circle magnet bigger than your magnet
I think neodymium magnets are good.
Is plastic case necessary?
Yes.
Thank you for watching.
Is there anything else we can use instead of aluminium can?
I think brass would be fine too.
@@yattemita4447 thanks

Thank you for your comment.
Where I get magnet from
If you can't find it in a store near you, I think you can get it online.
Does the aluminium do something?
Aluminum does not affect the magnetic field.
It supports the magnet of the compass.
Ohh ok thanks
How yo have balanced centre pin?
It uses two aluminum discs.
Then, use a screw of the same weight.
Do galvanized nails work too?
I think it work too.
In which country you live
I live in japan
What we can use instead of aluminium can please tell
Please tell fast 👆
I think a plastic plate is fine
Can we use paper glass or plate
??
I don't know until I try.
Op the best compass, best for sci projects and also low budget 😃😊
Keep it up
Thank you for your comment.
Heello
I have a doubt what about east and west can u pls give me a solution 😊
What questions do you have about east and west?
doesn't work, no idea how you got the magnet to spin so strongly, mines stagnant and wont move
The magnet is a neodymium magnet.
@@yattemita4447 I also used a neodymium magnet. This did not work.
@@thomash4810
..It seems your hole got too tight & small... .
This is a joke. It doesn't work like that
What is the name of that steel cutting machine.
The tool that cuts aluminum plates into circles is called a ``circle cutter,'' which is a compass with a blade attached.
Thanks, I really inspired
Thank you for your comment.
Very nice
And cool
Thank you for your comment.
Name of the container???
Thank you for visiting.
A container with a lid.
@@yattemita4447
..What type of container it is...Where did you get this one from?
Can we use other magnets
I don't know because it is not made with other magnets.
I think neodymium magnets are the best.
can i use round magnet instead of neodymium magnet?
Thank you for your comment.
Please tell me the dimensions of the round magnet.
@@yattemita4447 is it important to have those cut circles aluminium?
It can be cut into clean circles.
What is the use of the two tin plates
This is to hold the nail in the center.
@@yattemita4447 Oh now I understood,thanks
If we have no aluminium can so what we use.
What can you prepare.
Will it work?
It works.

The plastic case has a diameter of 40 mm and a height of 30 mm.
Neodymium magnets are 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick.
The aluminum plate has a diameter of 37 mm, the iron nail has a diameter of 0.8 mm and a length of 17 mm, and the iron screw has a diameter of 2 mm and a length of 15 mm.
Are there any other required dimensions?
Ok How i cut aluminium
The circle cutter used in the video can be cut cleanly.
If you don't have a circle cutter, you can use scissors.
Nice work! low budget compass! Awesome (Y)
