MIT Physics Demo -- Magnetic Deflection of a TV Image

[dickcheney6]

Why ruin the tv

[shaneshanon]

Would that destroy your TV?

[ManganistanDraselny]

You are deformating the reality :D

[mathfigure]

Interactive display! :P

[captkirkconnell]

carefull doing that on any screen- had a TV a while back we played with that and an image was burned in that took several weeks to go away- depends on the type of screen and strength of the magnet.

[MrJWM29]

Sorry MIT, you're about fifty years late. Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls studied magnetic fields using this method a long time ago and wrote about it in their first book, "Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System", in 1974.

[gammypoofle]

Hm. Not to mention that the magnet can also bend the steel wire mesh inside the color CRT, which is what you re-shape using a degaussing coil.

[ScrewAttackChina]

this is why you have a degauss button

[vochitoken]

this means that a magnetic field distorts time?? HAHAHAHA

[MrDudarevekb]

кинескопу кирдык

[smde1]

ok the clock was nice so what have I learned - have I been able to be shown actual lines of force ??? you pointed out the CRT, the microphone and the clcok but you neglected to point out ant=ything else - IT is good that Saw this demo somepl;ace toehr than MIT - otherwise I would just go 'ooooohh' , "ahhh' and have learned little.

[MrCletushowell]

Did I really just see you make a black hole and absorb all the light in the middle that was cool the magnet is a polorised nucleus equaling of protons and electrons to nucleus

[BitsInAByte]

it takes a pretty darn strong magnet to get any decent warping,and only works on old CRT sets,as in early 90's and before

[Stravant]

Analog distort modifier ftw

[stalker7d7]

This is what you can learn at MIT!

[KaslarProductions]

It doesn't take scooby doo to figure out that mystery. much less MIT.....

WOW  I did that when I was 8. I should teach physics.

[7525727]

"Time warp, wednesdays on the descovery channel"..^^

[loadrunnerste]

Einstein was right, time is relative....

[TopGear6666]

Is that what you lot do all day in MIT ? Play with magnets!!! Christ I was doing this when I was a kid does that make me a professor?

[infoherper]

@TopGear6666 Are you retarded? This is a demo - not a lecture

[TopGear6666]

@infoherper Oh you hurt my feelings!!!...... When's the mother ship coming back for you?

[krzychuu93]

telewizor zjebiesz! nie rob tego dzieciak!

[valdezmiguel2]

I DID AND IT BROKE MY tv!

[SpitsBeaTz]

So that's where Salvador Dalí got his inspiration for The Persistence of Memory painting.

[valdezmiguel2]

not true. you're lying. and stupid.

[SpitsBeaTz]

of course it's not... you can't take jokes. and stupid.

[valdezmiguel2]

not true. you're lying. and stupid. this is near conclusive proof of the latter.

[JBFrenchhorn]

Yeah, I thought of Dali too.

[Wolfox360]

People say: hitting a big Magnet on a energized CRT screen can create for a few seconds a Black hole.The magnet will disappeas.Try it ;-)

[OptimusPrimeX]

@Wolfox360 lol... :D

[Psaris66]

lsd effect :)

[crazypolak38]

PHOTOSHOP! looks like it :P

[LukanMacto]

@crazypolak38 NO this is real. The Magnet Attracts/repels the electrons that being shot at the television screen. Go try it

[STRIKER520]

@LukanMacto no its not I have done this before it does not warp the image it leaves blotches of color but does not warp the entire screen so maybe you should try it.

[yeldarb65]

someone should have stood in front of the camera

[s04r3r]

I thought that was a clock on the wall...my assumption was correct.

[m1ndcontroller]

Millions of dollars of Taxpayer Money Through Gov Grants and Subsidized Student Loans and this is what MIT gives us..?

[sematic1]

your? huge? into physics! Or Huge into Wow i just don't under stand this ? Shut up. your millions of dollars off your mark. don't bite the hand that feeds you. maybe you should look up big dog. or. em

[wowsa0]

This is Science simply for the sake of science. Mankind is at its noblest when it conducts experiments purely out of passion and childlike curiosity. Ironically though, people who pursue science for personal enjoyment often end up giving society discoveries which do turn out to have huge applications. Before you moan about Government funding of science, remember that you are voicing this opinion through the internet, on the web, on a computer. All of these were largely state funded inventions.

[DodgeTrucks1500]

what happens to ur tv if u put on over these near it just for a little bit?

[ramanturbz]

Kids don't try this at home on your parents new TV :P

[refoliation]

the secret of time travel!!

[bonecrime]

I think it's gonna need some degaussing! :P

[benjwgarner]

@bonecrime I messed up my TV that way and eventually fixed it using the "poor man's degaussing method" (turning it on and off repeatedly).

[AlijaD]

the fist who will success with this on TFT is a champ!

[AYOitseny]

haha? im gonna try it. =)

[wiltse0]

dont try it on newer tv;s it might leave some red and green on there

[toughdog6789]

lol it'll ruin your tv

[aoleu1200]

@toughdog6789 not like theres any good thing to watch on it

[drunksmokingjurkk]

looks like fin...

.. i wanna try!!!

[chrissypoo90]

having fun?

[TheSpiderShowTV]

Lol My sister told me about this. So I went and did it(hey I was 5 at the time)I was so facinated by the colours it made when I put the megnatic door knob(It fell off the door)up to the TV my mum(mom to americans)got so mad I blamed it on my sister xD

[lesliekwan80]

why is your doorknob magnetic? o.O

[Stephhyycakess]

omg thats awesome.

[fffeeerrr06]

i learned this when i was a little kid and i was moving a speaker and placed it in front of the tv. my curiosity led me to moving the speaker around the screen that i ended up affecting the colors and causing my dad to get mad at me hahaha...PHYSICS!!!

[AllysonMH]

I think my favorite part of this video is when the magnet slowly creeps into frame in the beginning. It made me chuckle just a little bit. But at least now I know why strong magnets distort the television screen .

[McGuywer]

I can't believe the MIT "scientists" are warping clocks on a tv screen with a magnet these days.

[zaxt3r]

I can't believe that you actually think that that's all they do at MIT.

[fffeeerrr06]

they're not warping clocks, they're warping time lol

[muckstar23]

heard that one last year when i was reading this ?

[crippled82]

cute

[bellinivernon]

Exelente ! , gracias ,desde argentina.

[HellraizedOo]

This phenomenon is caused because of the so-called "Lorentz Force" which changes the direction of moving charged particles if they move into a magnetic field.

[JUPitervivo]

looks like the clock of Salvador Dali picture

[ajphys]

GGGreat!!

[marinnn09]

thats pretty cool. It's like stuck there forever. Thank god they didn't use a modern television and put a magnet to it.

[palonejr]

Thanks for the Data

[mubd1234]

On a CRT monitor, you can just degauss it if you do this.

[MCRideout]

does it cause permanent damage?

[spand3244]

Could we say now, that we actualy bend space and time ? ;-)

[titan768]

hehehehehehehehehe

[estaleirociencia]

Great way to show some principles of magnetic attraction.

Greetings from Portugal.

[firewilson81]

in other words don't try this at home on your own tv, because it will ruin it!otherwise, what i see makes me wonder if this is a door to other things, like a way to find the method of distorting the gravitational field, so that travel in space can be achieved in other ways then to be like a large firecracker sent up on a rocket. do you think this may be a light into this direction, as i am thinking of light waves re: movement in space.

[BluddHunterr]

...stfu noob

[supermaniac85]

yes...stfu noob...until we can unify the 4 forces. magnetic field has nothing to do with the gravitational field...

[adi87tya]

distorting the grav field is not something u can do with a magnet

[allismind]

sure it is... but all massive bodies distort the gravitational field

[adi87tya]

technically...but to distort in a major way, you'll need a huge magnet...like the earth I suppose
