Eddy Current Experiment Using 2 Big Neodymium Magnets

[ultraNewt]

copper bro, copper

[lyudkavsk]

put magnets norths facing each other, and then the real magic happens

[4Gehe2]

Nice finale lol

[wursthunter]

so you proofed the existens of the LORENTZ' force...

[gatorboy1444]

@wursthunter wrong.

[wursthunter]

@gatorboy1444 so tell me, which force slows the magnet down?

[gatorboy1444]

@wursthunter the eddy currents.

[flagman57]

@gatorboy1444 you just made yourself look like an idiot. the lorentz force is a force that explains the eddy currents. lol

[gatorboy1444]

@flagman57 are you retarded? eddy currents are the result of the lorentz force. try and PROVE me wrong. not proofed

[MrSilenius]

sry, my english is not that good ;)

[MrSilenius]

i'll try explain.

when the bar drops, there there is an electomagnetic field induced in the bar, which counteracts to the magnets and slows the fall

[JManu3]

@MrSilenius More like: Slows the FAIL.

Fucking thing has no point

[lettersfromtheleft]

It's weird... when the bar is dropped it looks like it falls in slow motion. Not sure if this is a perception issue (meaning my brain is telling me it should be falling MUCH faster), or an optical illusion. Either way, it's wicked cool to watch.

[chromebeats]

that's the entire point of this video, the eddy current slows it down

[datlildodge]

ice arrow i wouldn't be talkin he must know all about these magnets.

[icearrowx]

Explanation: The 2 magnets on the sides slow the big magnet on the way down.

[robgallagher]

Explanation: The 2 magnets on the sides slow the big ALUMINUM BAR on the way down.

[icearrowx]

Ah, i only ready half the description, my bad.

[islandfireballkill]

you can also do this by dropping the magnets through a big  moderatly weak pole of copper, aluminum or brass

[84ed84]

and where were the eddy's?

[TheNilvarg]

Eddy Currents aren't visible. I hope you weren't looking for them...

[84ed84]

I wasn't looking for them. It seemed at first as though there was no effect! But now I see it, and .. well.. its still not that good. haha

[jonjetzone]

is there any explanation, please?
