How do you make a temporary magnet with a nail?

Connect a long, thin piece of copper wire to the ends of your battery. (Long and thin so it won't burn up before you use it.) Then wave the nail back and forth fast many time very very near the wire. Two things happen. 1. Electricity is generated in the nail 2. The iron in the nail slowly takes on magnetism You get better result if your wind many many turns of copper wire around, say, a pencil, so you have a coil, and wave the nail back forth near the coil. Also, you can point a nail north, and tap on it with a hammer, or something, and the iron in the nail eventually will become magnetized. This happens to ships at sea, and they sometimes have to be deGuassed in a huge drydock. DeGuassing is a method to remove magetism.
