Here's a site with alot of different ideas and difficulty levels with instructions.  Maybe you can find something here.\n\nOr you can tell us more about what you are wanting to do and what you like and we might be more helpful on here.\n\nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/

Here's a link for annealing copper wire.  I don't know if that's what you want.

It depends on what superconductor do you want to make. For example, let me give you a brief idea about making the most common 'High-Tc Superconductor' YBCO:\n\nRecipe for a homemade superconductor \n1.825g or 0.005M  Y(NO3)3.5H2O \n2.614g or 0.010M  Ba(NO3)2 \n3.624g or 0.015M  Cu(NO3)2.3H2O \n\nWeigh out the ingredients and grind together thoroughly in a mortar. Transfer the mixture to an alumina crucible and place in the centre of a tube furnace. Pass a slow flow of oxygen over the mixture and bake at 350°C for 1 hour. Then increase the temperature to 950°C and cook for a further 3 to 4 hours.  \nAllow the furnace to cool somehwhat before removing the crucible with tongs and gloves. Let the crucible cool on a fire-brick before emptying the contents into the mortar. Re-grind thoroughly.  \nThen press two 13mm pellets from the mixture (at 12 tons pressure). Place them in a crucible lined with platinum foil. An unlined crucible won't do since it would contaminate the pellet. Re-heat the crucible in the furnace to 950°C with a slow flow of oxygen. Programme the furnace to cool the sample at 50°C/hour through the tetragonal-orthorhombic phase transition (at 690°C). Ensure an appropriate sign for an overnight reaction is displayed on your furnace and do remember to ask a Senior Demonstrator first! Switch off the tube furnace, allow to cool a little and then remove your sample as before. \n\nJust a note at the end: You can't say Superconductors are 'conductors' with no resistance! In fact, superconductors are materials which essentially show the following two properties:\n1. zero electrical resistance, and\n2. expulsion of magnetic field.

oh this has been awhile....ok a block of wood, a couple nails, some tape, some wire, and a six? volt battery.\n\nyou are basicaly making one of the nails an electro magnet so that when the circuit is completed it comes on and pulls down one of the wires to the top of it making a clicking noise, open the circuit the wire will spring back up.  \n\nhere is a more complicated one that will send to another one\nhttp://www.apluschilddev.com/headstart/services/projects/easy_make_telegraph.htm

I love crafts!  You can get a small Styrofoam disk from a store like Hobby Lobby or Michael's, whatever craft/hobby store you have in your area.  Get some colored cellophane paper and a very skinny dowel.  Cut the dowel to a lollipop stick length and stick in in the underside of the Styrofoam.  You may want to hot glue it to make it stay.  Cut some of the cellophane and wrap it around the Styrofoam and tie it with ribbon or whatever you have.  Get some gold cord or ribbon and hot glue it to the top to make a hanger.  They are very easy, you can even make giant ones to go outside!\n\nYou can also get some Crayola Model Magic and roll it into a "snake" shape.  Roll the snake starting in the middle and wrap it around and around making it as large as you want.  This will make one of those old fashioned looking lollipops that you can by at Cracker Barrel.  Stick the dowel into the stuff and let it air dry.  You can use craft paint to paint it any color you want.  Once the paint dries, brush craft glue on it and sprinkle with iridescent glitter or micro beads.  Wrap them in clear cellophane paper.  They are very pretty.  I learned about the last one from Michaels.com.  They have an interactive ornament making page.\n\nHope this helps!

"In antiquity, jewellery often contains, in the form of chains and applied decoration, large amounts of wire that is accurately made and which must have been produced by some efficient, if not technically advanced, means. In some cases, strips cut from metal sheet were made by pulling them through perforations in stone beads. This causes the strips to fold round on themselves to form thin tubes. This strip drawing technique was in use in Egypt by the 2nd Dynasty. From the middle of the 2nd millennium BC most of the gold wires in jewellery are characterised by seam lines that follow a spiral path along the wire. Such twisted strips can be converted into solid round wires by rolling them between flat surfaces or the strip wire drawing method. Strip and block twist wire manufacturing methods were still in use in Europe in the 7th century AD, but by this time there seems to be some evidence of wires produced by true drawing. Square and hexagonal wires were possibly made using a swaging technique. In this method a metal rod was struck between grooved metal blocks, or between a grooved punch and a grooved metal anvil. Swaging is of great antiquity, possibly dating to the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC in Egypt and in the Bronze and Iron Ages in Europe for torcs and fibulae. Twisted square section wires are a very common filigree decoration in early Etruscan jewellery. In about the middle of the 2nd millennium BC a new category of decorative wires was introduced which imitated a line of granules. Perhaps the earliest such wire is the notched wire which first occurs from the late 3rd, early 2nd millennium BC in Anatolia and occasionally later.\n\n"Wire was drawn in England from the medieval period. The wire was used to make wool cards and pins, manufactured goods whose import was prohibited by Edward IV in 1463. The first wire mill in Great Britain was established at Tintern in about 1568 by the founders of the Company of Mineral and Battery Works, who had a monopoly on this. Apart from their second wire mill at nearby Whitebrook, there were no other wire mills before the second half of the 17th century. Despite the existence of mills, the drawing of wire down to fine sizes continued to be done manually.\n\n"Wire is usually drawn of cylindrical form; but it may be made of any desired section by varying the outline of the holes in the draw-plate through which it is passed in the process of manufacture. The draw-plate or die is a piece of hard cast-iron or hard steel, or for fine work it may be a diamond or ruby. The object of utilizing precious stones is to enable the dies to be used for a considerable period without losing their size, and so producing wire of incorrect diameter. Diamond dies must be rebored when they have lost their original diameter of hole, but the metal dies are brought down to size again by hammering up the hole and then drifting it out to correct diameter with a punch."

i made one. it's as big as a softball at least.you start with 1 rubberband and tie it into knots.take another one and tie it around the 1st one(into knots) keep doing this until ball is big enough to wrap bands around. some people use an object to start wrapping bands around. but that is cheating to me

I made earrings out of guitar picks and to install the french wire I melted a hole at the pointy end with an awl/ice pick.  I heated up the metal tip of the awl on the gas stove and used it to melt a small hole in the guitar pick.  Cool idea, now I'll make a matching necklace!  Thanks!
