TemitopeAgoro My homemade Incandescent light bulb Period: 2B
The Problem • I want to make my own incandescent light bulb using materials that I have gathered and I want it to be as bright as a normal light bulb.

Design Proposal • My design includes a 6V battery which is attached to 2 copper wires. The copper wires then travel through a cork stopper and then are connected to an iron wire. A glass jar is then placed over the cork stopper along with the copper wire connected to the iron wire.
Conclusion After testing my experiment myriad times it did not work. I believe that it did not work because instead of using iron wire as the filament I used black bobby pins. But the temperature of the battery rose to extremely high temperatures. Also the filament I used was very hot but not hot enough to shine bright. I plan to go and purchase iron wire to confirm my belief.
