    In order to increase the strength of his electromagnet and pick up more thumbtacks Braddy should use two batteries instead of one. Using two batteries will increase the amount of current in the coils which will induce a higher electromagnetic field in the nail.

    Another option would be to increase the number of coils of wire.
