Neodymium Magnets - Strange behaviour

[Dragonfire7666]

The foundation you're using distorts the magnetic field that much. Super cool. Which pole sank? the South right?

[SHIVUS111]

It's not magnets, it's magic!

[a4e71ca987]

its the metal washer, duh.

[Cyberplayer5]

Do you know why ALUMINUM is important in the demonstration.

[kmxx2003]

@Cyberplayer5 if it was magnitize (the aluminum part) the magnet may not slide or be pushed off immeadiately...i think

[kmxx2003]

@kmxx2003 depending on its

polarity

[Cyberplayer5]

@kmxx2003 You may know that Aluminum is paramagnetic. This means it interacts weakly with the magnetic field as compared to wood. But wood does not create an opposite field to the source of magnetism. I think that effects the point along the rod the where it stops at each end.

[NATHANgnm]

mr.rogers?

[kmlumd44]

this guy things he's chuck norris

[lightrescuer]

I lost my youtube!!!

[erk13z]

@lightrescuer Embrace change. :)

[prodigytechus]

When turned upside down, the magnet on the rod is LOCKED into position because the flux from the 5 magnets flow into the metal washers of the magnet system on the rod.

Remove those washers & the magnet will fall off when turned upside down.

[1Bob4All]

Nice.

Will the magnet on the vertical axis spin freely around the axis ?

[JuannyBear]

Titanic music?! <3

[proXy1099]

good for shock breackers



[hipstarchild]

what's this music ??

[MDSVes]

the Washer magnetic feild is completely different from the solid magnet field

[MDSVes]

try to do that with normal magnets n stead of the washer magnets

[omega1one]

WOOOW you seem to have discovered Magnets

[ableite]

@aaron2414 it's because of lenz law

[aaron2414]

parabolic base, the "sweet spot" is somewhere in the middle of that pole. The magnetic field is curved to reconnect with the pole much like the earth's field. This is my guess after watching but it seems that way.

[NLBanditNL]

Cool!

[danthemanzizzle]

my guess, magnets in the lid repel the one on the rod however also attract the metal washer on the rod magnet, period.

[TheLostODST]

has something to do with the aluminium rod too i think

[imlistening2it]

there are 5 magnets in a circle plus one on the underside. it creates 2 fields. one magnet on the underside pulling, just a bit tho, and the others creating repulsion. or vice versa. either way you get the idea.

[MrRadionave]

Vou botar um desses no meu pau.

[shanizzle28]

I think you just invented a new type of automatic transmission :O

[loko95ftp]

whats strange about that opposite poles attract common poles repel your and idiot

[wyrrox]

Nothing strange about that, just repulsion between identical magnet fields. 

[sydalfox]

@wyrrox so brainiac, at 0:42 why doesn't the center magnet falls off? no repulsion?

[Lollocide]

@sydalfox

Attraction and repulsion are two seperate effects that magnetics can generate, if the base magnetics are placed pole to non-pole and secured enough, this effect can be generated.

Unless you're being sarcastic, in which case, nevermind.

[youmayatutorials]

@sydalfox It creates a field above and below the centre magnet which pushes it up and down so there's a point at which it rests in-between the 2 fields

[TRTtherocketthing]

@sydalfox The magnet doesn't fall because of induction trough the aluminum tube. Copper tube would do the same thing!! They use this method for roller coaster brakes

[NorcanDiaboli]

@sydalfox put the whole assembly in a bath of oil and iron filings, then you can see the magnetic fields. I can ASSURE you, this is not something "strange" or "mystical" in any way, just something you (or I) can not explain with our limited knowledge.

[cityofbones0]

@sydalfox because the magnet on the bottom is attracting the magnet on the rod. neither force is greater, so it stays in one place.

[akerlin2]

@sydalfox the magnet in the center of the bottom of the plate opposes the magnets on the top of the plate. thus the magnet is pulled toward the plate until it is close enough that the field from the magnet on the other side is stronger than the field at that point from the other 5 magnets.

[mizukuu]

@sydalfox Yes, call him names and demand he draw you a picture...simply, Its like using five horseshoes to hold a doughnut.. Magnetic field arcs make a "U" shape, or full halos on single pole magnets.[L2Google] Which I doubt those are because they probably stick together if stacked for shipping. You made a magnet net 'brainiac'. You could do it with three "good" magnets, a hot glue gun, and a little coordination. You're using 7 fishing anchors on one dinghy.

[nightfoxx26]

@sydalfox The washer attracts the free magnet while at the same time that magnet is repulsing away.

I think.

[wyrrox]

@sydalfox The stator magnets facing outwards attract the center magnet. The repulsion only happens when the magnet gets close to the stators because their sides' magnetic fields repel the center magnet. All clear?

[wolfekeeper]

@sydalfox When the magnets are far apart, they're pointing in the same direction so they attract each other (opposite poles see each other; so they attract.)

But when they get close together, they repel- because the like poles get too close. If you think about it, the middle magnet would really hate to be right in the centre of others, because the poles would be completely inline.

So there's a balance point, where the attraction and repulsion cancels out, and that's where it wants to be.

[TheKingdomofErnor]

@sydalfox Hey, moron, it's called a magnetic field. The magnets are being repulsed AND compelled to a spot in space near the other magnets. It's not one-way. They don't just push away from each other.

[aeon5ind]

@sydalfox because the central rod has taken on an induced magntec feild and the placement of the "endcap skews the natural feild shape and holds the magnets on the central core off center

[sibalogh]

@sydalfox Ask him to put just two magnets on coaxially and it would fall away. This is simple because there are several magnets placed further out in circle and although the bottom part of the top magnet has its like pole face down as the ones around it in the cup but their field, due to being spread out, can also have influence on the upper side of the center magnet being on top. it's a pitty he did not push it all the way down to be in center of the others and see what would happen. Guess !

[Alias828]

@sydalfox I don't think you understand what a magnetic field is, see any high-school physics book.

[MatthewDMerrill]

@sydalfox because some are attracting it and some aren't.

[coolelectronicdude]

@sydalfox is it because with the center magnet one way 3 are attracting and 2 are repelling? and when you flip it over then 3 are repelling and 2 are attracting creating a greater push. where before there was a sweet spot between the two opposing forces?

[CHA0S69er]

@sydalfox i don't know about repulsion but your creepy ass hands are repulsive! and that's what this video is really about. isn't it?

[xThexGamerxGuyx]

@sydalfox the magnets on the bottom have both - and + magnets so it arttracts and repels

[runer9ner]

Fucking magnets how do they work?

[djahriman]

@runer9ner EVERY MAGNET HAS BITS OF EARTH IN IT. THE EARTH HAS GRAVITY SO LIEK, THE LITTLE BITS HAVE LITTLE GRABITY. CUS LIEK.

I WENT TO SCHOOL AND STUFF>./

[MattAssassin22]

@djahriman dude you're a retard, magnets use magnetism not gravity. Yes every bit of matter has gravity, but not enough to even pull dust towards it. Magnetism is completely different from GRAVITY!

[djahriman]

@MattAssassin22 Lol. You're the retard who didnt understand I was being blatantly sarcastic. Lol.

[twobarells]

@runer9ner A magnet (from Greek magnḗtis líthos, "Magnesian stone") is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, and attracts or repels other magnets.

[unknown19811]

Here is the explanation:

The magnet on the pole is male,

and the magnets on the bottom are female...

So,when the male magnet tries to approach the female ones,

they repel him...

But when he turns around and decides to abandon them,

they want him back...

[K7doculos]

@unknown19811 Very interesting theory, I would like to know more about the sex between magnets. Are they more like one night stand? Or will they stay together as long as they are attracted to each other?

[unknown19811]

@K7doculos once they stick together there will be a lot of magnetic power between them,a first...

Then (according to the laws of Laplace always...) there are two possibilities...

Either the magnetism starts to weaken and inevitably fades away...

Or in the case of electromagnets they stay together for life(as long as there is electricity running through them...

[unknown19811]

that is some indecisive magnets...

[physicmad]

hmm springless suspension

[Patfire73]

Music's so good :)

[klassklassklass]

quick....call Fortean Times

[lordofsparta10]

Ure dumb if u don't get this

[gunghoman414]

thank you for wasting 1:33 of my time... a 5 year old could explain this

[ahdunheved]

@rickeraver my exact thought!

[awabast]

this is strange for you ???

[DennisNguyen88]

congrats, you've just created a class-room magnet gun

[UltimatePwnageNL]

@DennisNguyen88 if you would make all magnets point the same way, yeah... this one kinda sucks as a gun xD

[DennisNguyen88]

@UltimatePwnageNL yeah, more of like a class room magnet... i don't even know :P

[spr00sem00se]

definately the work of zombies

[IntenseGreatness]

@roani52 fuckin juggalo

[roani52]

Fucking magnets.... how do they work!?

(and tbh I dont think its strange, I think superconducting materials floating on magnetic fields are strange)

[EICHOLZtheEXPERT]

I have Neodymium Magnets in my headphones.

[89elmonster]

Opisite polaritys that's how it works

[jfhdylvr]

...how do they work?

[montysingh5124]

i like the song in the background

what is it called?

[Niwles]

fucking magnets!

[rickeraver]

omfg this was like watching a retard playing with magnets ! ( no offence to retards)

[jccoulter]

If you really want to see some interesting "Cutting Edge" Magnetic Behavior just do a search on Correlated Magnetics Research

[99bagpipe]

I haven't seen one correct comment on how this works. I just helped my 4th grader duplicate this video for a science project. The 5 magents on the top are all the SAME polarity, not different. The key which alot of people missed is the magnet on the backside of the magnetic jar needs to be the opposite polarity from those five. I think its pretty cool that you can get a sweet spot no matter which way you flip the top magnet or if you turn the whole thing upside down.

[TheKaos90]

Well , i did kinda the same thing a few days earlier ... , i opened up a transparent pen , dropped in a little long magnet so it wouldn't flip , and put another one at the opening, so they repell when they approach ... anmd guess what ? it doesn't want to fall from there =) what you have there is a perfect bearing

[aballaynicolas]

that looks wrong

[McBlaise]

grow up already

[lovegunz1]

it dosent matter how you did it start the magnet spining and youl find out if you plase them rigt it will spin a long time

[magicfngrz]

That would make a good suspension system if u sized it up 

[peacefulyetviolent]

Christ i learned this in 4th grade boy

[zer0dahero]

can this be made to do work?

[TTTtcubed]

FUKKEN MAGNETS!

How do they work!?

[JJoneEIGHTY]

is that the music from myst 3 exile?

[pwnwner]

It took less than a single millisecond to figure out how this worked

same sides repel, since there was a tube in the center it was going through, it could not flip over and attract to one of the magnets, instead it just stayed there

[dragondeth48]

yo, there is this thing called magnetism!

[mastershake245]

Sounds like the music when you are in northrend questing in WoW xD

[Chrisiscool46]

@mastershake245 Lol, that is exactley what it sounds like, Grizzly Hills to be exact. Haha.

[tim50able]

PUT ONE ON YR DICK

[demolishun2]

Actually this is strange. When the poles repel it is way high on the bar. When they attract it is way low, but does not go all the way down. The spacing of the 5 magnets must allow the pole on the opposite side to affect it when attracting to where it starts to repel again. A very nice effect and configuration.

[DocentDoc]

Perfect for speakers...little speaker - big power !!!

[Xeromyr]

Painfully obvious. You're welcome for the +1 view?

[nisidin]

there are two reasons, correct me if me if I'm wrong. the first reason is that the five magnets are a gang and the top one wants to join them but they keep telling him go away. And the second reason is what kmarinas86 said

[Razgrits]

Fucking magnets...

How do they work?

[inverseactuality]

@Razgrits

Domains, bitches!

[brianwilburn]

Looks like a mind control device to me.  I will be reporting you to the C.I.A immediately.

[wursthunter]

alright... so where is that "strange behavior"?

[audreylynnshepherd]

Are the magnets in the bottom of the instrument alternating polarities?

Like, there's 5.

So are they placed like positive side up then negative side up etc?

[GrowlingVocals]

jesus how fuckin stupid have you got be to think this is something strange??

[daniel11111112]

basicaly the 5 magnets are repelling the other magent and there magnetiseing the rod the rod wants the magent in the center but the magnets want it to gtf away from them

[coldarc]

@daniel11111112 there is no north and south magnetic field, its an illusion.

atraction is phase alignment of repulsion of two waves out of phase

in a sense there is only repulsion. a magnetic field of standingwaves

can not exist if the phase of the waves they are made of are aligned

or "in phase".

[coldarc]

correctig about atraction and repulsion. atraction is a phase alignment of two "in phase" but repulsion is an "out of phase" aligment of two waves.

[kinji512]

ok this is the true explanation the magnet is saying f*** you gravity

[PvgAshes]

I guess the coolest thing about these magnetic dots is that you can actually build with them. With fridge magnets, you can only play with the polarity. man I l love Nanodots!

[wannabeastarrover]

this is nothing more than the south against the south or north against anothers north from the magnets, they will repel or opose each other if a pole of the same type is place to another pole of the same type due to the magnetics being the same structure and riding on each other. a oposite pole will attract and fit into the other magnets allways look for a equilibrium if you like a balance between the male and female as a metaphor in energy terms

[Flatine1]

so magnetism is a strange behaviour?...ok then :x

[YonMoor]

MEGA STRANGE BRO

[decapattack]

what's so strange in magnetic fields?

[4E047RHH]

Hey cool Magnetic suspension!

[GRATZIANI2002]

what's so strange there??..u show us that u discovered how to spend our time..

[deepcut71]

not very strange is it, magnetic repulsion/attraction ?

[yit2525]

easy. every other magnet is on either positive or negitive and there are 3 of one and 2 of the other = the 5 magnets you have on the plate thing. and when u put the magenet on the rod on one of the two polarities it is forced down and up causing it to stay in that one spot and when u flip it, it is forced up and stays in that specific spot.

and no i did not read any of the other comments :D

[Everydayphriiq]

i can't really be sure of the specific effect without know the nature of the magnets and their poles; however, i theorize that it may have something to do with the magnetic fields(being doughnut-shaped) creating a magnetic tunnel affecting both the north and south poles of the levitating magnets.

[airste172]

The magnets seem to be behaving quite normally, although strange behavior is sometimes exhibited by the people playing with them.

[TheModernMachinima]

#hi#

[brianmenendez]

thanks for postiing

[MrDavidlubbejnr]

The washers are shielding the fields, when they get close enough the fields go around the washer, do it with out the washer or only one magnet at the bottom abd then I'l be impressed, original though

[AClarke2007]

There`s also a "sour spot".

It happens just as the attracted magnet (whilst still repelling) is overcome by the other magnets;

It`s a fine amount movement around the "sour spot" which causes it to fly-off in either direction (Hysterises).

[KuarkU]

Its awesome but its easy to understand with physics.

Its another case of Electromagnetism.

The Electric Forces are combined in such a way that does not allow the main ring get down or upward.

The Electric forces are way stronger than the Gravity Forces.

(unless on big bodies like planets and uncharged particles/systems)

[mactubeman]

Very Simple... 5 magnets on the bottom..... three have North facing up, 2 Have South facing up.. so the magnet on the pole is pushed UP by the three North facing magnets, but the 2 South facing magnets are pulling it DOWN, so when you turn it upside down, it doesn't fall away simply because 2 of the magnets are pulling it towards the five magnets..see.. simple. No mystery here folks...lol.. I did enjoy reading some of the "Explanations" al the same...lol

[ASLFuel]

LOL, mactubeman!

[nhojmabon]

My guess:

* The 5 magnets face the same direction

* The 6th magnet is on the bottom of the rod, facing opposite to the 5 magnets

* The 7th magnet and a washer are lowered on to the rod with the magnet being attracted towards the 5 magnets and repelled by the 6th magnet. When at the top of the rod, the 5 magnets dominate, pulling the 7th magnet down. When 7th magnet is slid to the bottom of the rod, the 6th magnet dominates, pushing the 7th magnet away. In between, the forces cancel out.

[aierce]

@nhojmabon not really, there are 2 strong nodes in the magnetic fields, trace the magnetice field lines of each magnet and you will see

[fishpasterer]

@nhojmabon

It looks to me like the rod may be magnitized lengthwise, but not sure.

[Banzay20]

Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets, arent they?!? Just courius.. Maby good too make a generator of this type of magnets..

[science247]

@Banzay20 ever thought that maybe they have already implemented this kinda thing?

[sketchartistmc]

@science247 yea but they dont want you to know lol

[Banzay20]

I have don a little research.. i was not the first one to discover this.. lol.. I want to make a windmill and thats the type of magnets to use.. They are the strongest one and generate more energy

[ryanrenesis]

I need theirs stronger magnets than neodymium

[WhutsUrNaym]

@Banzay20 What do you think they're used for?!

[Banzay20]

@WhutsUrNaym Generators, because they have a high energy level

[WhutsUrNaym]

@Banzay20 I know.

[Banzay20]

@WhutsUrNaym U mean i should have know that.. ?!? #lol# :D

[flarfy33]

wow dude magnets REPEL AND ATTRACT ITS MYSTIFYING ISN'T IT!!!!!!

[WhutsUrNaym]

@flarfy33 -GASP-

[Tall747]

... it just magnets .... not that strange ...

[electricmic]

@Tall747

I found the details of the magnet behavior to be surprising. Very interesting!

[xXxSkiLarxXx]

what is the name of the music?!?

[ski11zftw]

i made this into a magnet gun, 400 psi bitch

[WhutsUrNaym]

@ski11zftw Magnetism is ELECTRIC CURRENTS, which can't be measured in pounds per square inch (PSI), because PSI involves gases taking up space, not electricity.

[WhutsUrNaym]

@ski11zftw Magnetism is an electric force, it can't be measured in pounds per square inch!

[DarkTuga96]

I bet some1 will think of a way to turn this into a weapon....

[TealcLOL]

They're called gauss weapons.

[T0paz13]

if you take away that tube thingy the magnet should float in mid air

[bleachzeldakid]

@T0paz13 no, it wouldnt

[oreowithmilk1]

@T0paz13 no, the magnets would have to be in absolute perfect place for it to do that. pretty much impossible

[WhutsUrNaym]

@T0paz13 Actually, it would have no way of guiding itself, and shoot off in a random direction.

[turgor58]

Both forces don't seem to have equal strength.

Repelling force seems to be stronger. Another thing is Germans have found uot that each pole of the nmagnet seem to have also a own frequency and a spin. Which is clockwise or anticlockwise.

Furthermore I believe that atraction or repelling is not a property of a magnet but the it's the effect that's been created by the a-symmetric content of the material. Break it and the Bloch Wall finds another place.

[WhutsUrNaym]

@turgor58 The forces are unequal because 3 magnets are on the "repelling" side and 2 are on their "attracting" side. If you break a magnet, each piece gains its own new poles.

[adolthitler]

I think the magnets in the ring have sweet spots for attraction and repulsion on the pole. thats what cause the springing of the magnet to these points depending on whether its pole is set to attract or repel.

[Kywdo]

!!!

[cabecacere]

its part of a theory i have about how atoms manage to stay balance without having the electrons fly off or fuse(expolding) with the nucleous.

can someone help xplain this? or make corrections

[WhutsUrNaym]

@cabecacere That theory's been partly explained in Newton's first law, saying that any body of mass will move in a constant direction unless acted on by an outside force. The electrons and protons (somewhat?) balance each other out (electron is negatively charged and proton is positively charged) so that the electrons stay a certain distance away from the nucleus of the atom. That is the classic mechanics definition, but Quantum Physics is more likely, and harder to explain.

[SolomonJonesIsBack]

You don't need five magnets with the rod there to stabilize it. You'd just need one magnet to provide the repulsion, since it can't fly off to the side with the rod there obviously.

[fwimble]

awesome, that may eventually be used in the world, somewhere. PS, you know Magnetix brand toys? they actually use neodymium magnets.

[phantomofhepiano]

What is the name of the song played here, it is beautiful?

[McFIDO1]

It sounds like a theme from BraveHeart

here: v=Ifr4aGA2o_A, here v=RDEQjGIleKg

or longer version here: v=xuUE_BWwxjA

[WhutsUrNaym]

@phantomofhepiano It's from the game Myst III: Exile.

[billybenou11]

je vois pas ce qu'il y a d'étrange , c'est des aimants c'est tout.

[msndokaralho]

Dude you can make a weapon out of this! :O

[music01234567]

That sweet spot is where the toy called levitron works. And the washers ARE magnetic (ferrous)

otherwise they wouldn't stick to the magnet.

Good demonstration though.

[WhutsUrNaym]

@music01234567 Washers can be magnetized, but do not create magnetic fields.

[jesselink50]

i like the tin man..... I like the wizard of oz

[activiafibras]

how are they magnetized...radially or axially?

[WhutsUrNaym]

@activiafibras It's a flow of electrons.

[twistyturd]

has any one seen braveheart? FREEDOM

[ratheads]

I like turkey SPAM.

[W1ldSm1le]

the rod is magnetized, clever...

For everyone who needs neodymium magnets!!!! (you can find them in HARD DISKS)!!!! they are under the disk reader!!!!

[bobwatters]

thats pretty cool
