⚡ Build It. Learn It. Launch It.

Turn soldering into an unforgettable hands-on STEM experience with this Electromagnetic Gun Soldering Kit. Students and hobbyists will assemble a working electromagnetic launcher while learning real-world electronics concepts like circuits, capacitors, and magnetic force.

Why This Kit Stands Out

Real STEM Application (Not Just a Circuit Board)
This isn’t another blinking LED kit. Build a functioning electromagnetic launcher that demonstrates how electric current creates magnetic force to move objects.

Hands-On Skill Building
Perfect for developing:

  • Soldering fundamentals
  • Circuit assembly and troubleshooting
  • Understanding resistors, capacitors, and transistors

⚡ High Engagement Factor
Once assembled, the device launches small metal projectiles using electromagnetic force—a powerful “wow moment” that reinforces learning.

Ideal for Classrooms & Makerspaces
Great for:

  • STEM labs
  • Physics demonstrations (electromagnetism, energy transfer)
  • After-school programs or robotics clubs

What Students Learn

  • Electromagnetism in action – how current generates magnetic fields
  • Energy storage & release – capacitor charging/discharging
  • Circuit design basics – how components interact
  • Engineering mindset – build, test, iterate

What’s Included

  • Printed circuit board (PCB)
  • Electronic components (resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes)
  • Coil and launcher components
  • LEDs and wiring
  • Power supply components
  • Step-by-step instructions

⏱ Build Time & Skill Level

  • Assembly Time: ~2–4 hours
  • Skill Level: Intermediate (recommended ages 12+)
  • Best For: Students with basic soldering experience or guided instruction

⚠️ Safety Notes (Important for Schools)

  • Operates with high voltage (~100V in capacitor circuit) – supervision required
  • Recommended for classroom use with teacher oversight
  • Not a toy—this is a true electronics learning tool

Perfect For

  • STEM educators looking for high-engagement lab activities
  • Students ready to move beyond beginner kits
  • Makers and hobbyists who want a cool, functional build
  • Science fair or demonstration projects

Bring Physics to Life

Most STEM kits teach concepts.
This one lets students see, build, and launch them.

What Educators are Saying About Geyer

Justin has been nothing but helpful and professional in my requests for these Boeing Defense requirements. He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
