Making a Compass | National Geographic

give me your water there we go the way
this works is you have to find the
speaker there should be a magnet on it
you’ll also need to find a good piece of
Ferris wiring copper won’t get the job
done we’re gonna rub one end over the
speaker we’re gonna magnetize one half
of this wire here we go now we’re gonna
balance it on a leaf suspended in water
I mean think about it a compass is just
a balanced needle that aligns itself
north-south right the magnetized tip
should want to align itself north if
you’re in the northern hemisphere were
south if you’re in the southern
hemisphere there it is it’s pointing to
magnetic north our campsite is three
klicks northwest of here you know there
was a compass app on the phone right it
died a noble death yeah come on
