Magnet Brakes its own fall

[xgoremageddonx]

Is this the first time he finds out about magnets?

[abridged64]

quantum levitation... look it up it will blow your mind

[Zeldaschampion]

The magnet is starting to chip from being smashed into another object.

[beto3k]

but.... How do they work?

[TheFirstClassLounge]

Pause. "Hey! This is George Muhsusewiall!"

What?

[Sp33LzZz]

everyone had this on their mind,,,,,,,,,,PICK IT UP HIGHER!!!!!!

hey i'm mr super magnet man, and i'm a retard... hi again

[RaoulnJoy]

1:40 what you realy came for

[TacticalStudios]

Mkay...

[BrodinBrothers22]

He sounds like someone out of South Park!

[brokenrecord808]

Not just a member, he's also the president.....

[badshabz1]

hard core tipical american accent

[HylianSpirit]

@badshabz1 Hardly typical. As a lifelong resident, I've only seen a small handful of people with that accent in the east coast.

[0702029]

His watch is nooo good now ahahhaha

[whynabile]

how many gauss is that magnet

[pizzahut3001]

What do you think Mr Hat?

[cavetz21]

So thats how they work. Someone send ICP this link

[dalekkiller]

Aluminum isn't magnetic so how is the magnet doing that?

[ChromeXk]

@dalekkiller It doesnt matter if its magnetic, what does matter is that it's able to conduct electricity. The strong magnetic field of the plate magnet induces a current in the aluminium as it moves close to it.  However this induced current has an associated magnetic field that acts in the opposite direction of the field from the magnet, repelling it.

[dalekkiller]

@ChromeXk Thanks for the info. :)

[MsCrazedchick]

okay, u may think it's cool, but that is seriously heavy and boringly shaped

[PFplusW]

ok, not THAT interesting.

[TheRedNation95]

click click click click click

i used to care about this usless stuff but that was before i took an arrow to the knee

[ricochet188]

I LOVE SCIENCE

[Raggertjuh]

1:32 where u all came for....

[MasterKozuko]

Al not magnetic...

[Azureskilla]

But will it blend?

[radu3x]

it's a cushion of air underneath the disk shape of the magnet ! No magnetism involved here, sorry !

[ImJooooo]

@radu3x Go right now and get a 5 pound disk shape piece of metal and drop it... Yeah. There's magnetism involved.

[radu3x]

@ImJooooo I'm an engineer, I know what I'm talking about :) no offence, but this video is misleading .

[Hodgestic]

@radu3x

Okay Wolowitz

[zlac]

@radu3x You're either not really an engineer or if you are, you should go back to school or return your diploma because you don't know shit.

I actually am an engineer so I'll explain how this works so you stfu.

When magnet moves near aluminium, it produces electric current inside the aluminium (Eddy current). The Eddy current will produce it's own magnetic field that will oppose the existing field and slow down the magnet while heating up the aluminium.

[radu3x]

@zlac Try the same experiment on a wooden plate and talk then.

[zlac]

@radu3x man, just search eddy current brake on Wikipedia and then talk back.

just look from 1:12 to 1:18 - when he moves magnet fast, the aluminium board also moves because of magnetism.

If you still don't believe it works like this when you read Eddy current article, then you're not smart enough to be an engineer, sorry.

[20samp]

@zlac I have my suspicion that radu3x is a troll. One of my university lecturers actaully gave me a copper tube and some magnets to play with only a few days ago. He also gave me a plastic tube to show it has to be a conducting material. If only radu3x was given the same thing -.-

[TheSkillsmith]

@radu3x that works with paper and wood, not chunks of metal...

[ChromeXk]

@radu3x You better not be serious, otherwise im afraid you're retarded.

[Sancon95]

2:30



[anonysquirrel]

Will the braking effect work if you drop the magnet from a higher height? Like 1 meter?

[Wesley683]

FUCKIN MAGNETS, HOW DO THEY WORK???

[blue0up0dog]

@Wesley683 no ones going to get the referenace

[WillWorkForFood889]

ahh 240p... we meet again...

[Emrekpelmu]

eench -.-

[soccerwave126]

Now drop it from a hundred feet...

[TheNatureFilms]

OOOOKAY

[MrSoulTracker9]

i want a magnet that will suck the iron out of people's skin... muahahahaha. the possibilities

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@MrSoulTracker9 maybe even suck the iron out of peoples blood though the skin

[extremelewtniinja]

@MrSoulTracker9 How do you plan to handle said magnet? Somebody didn't think this through!

[bruzewski]

@MrSoulTracker9 Okay magneto

[whogivesadam95]

robin williams?



[jimbogoobar]

time to put on my magnetic shoes and jump of a building

[isaaca380]

almost silent my ass

[Iknutherift]

@isaaca380 the noise you hear is the instability in the magnet as it hits.. if it landed perfectly flat it would be whisper quiet.. one edge is hitting first.. thats all

[DigiDoorway]

he reminds me of the joker

for some odd reason...

[EpikTigers]

You spelled break wrong.

[remotecontrolp51]

@EpikTigers brake as in stop or brakes on a car.

[boikpark]

chode magnet

[greasedupgamer]

FUUUUUUCK......that is all

[dogucan97]

what sorcery is this?

[nullins]

OKAY MR GARRISON

[ahart5530]

@nullins MMMMM kay

[gsk1LLz]

ALEINS

[Vinguitar]

The name of the metal is pronounced, "aluminium"; not "aluminum".

[MrKondie]

@Vinguitar Americans pronounce it "aluminum." Like a lot of English words, there was no exact establishment of how to "correctly" pronounce or spell the words. So Americans adopted one and English adopted the other. The more you know.

[Vinguitar]

@MrKondie There is an exact establishment: Phonetics. ;) Don't worry, though; I'm not seriously trolling. (:

[MrKondie]

@Vinguitar There's a reason I used "was." Phonetics weren't established when we broke away from Great Britain. I wasn't trying to troll in the first place assuming that that's what you were implying.

[Vinguitar]

@MrKondie Haha, I wasn't implying anything. xD It's all good, man. (:

[HotXingVG]

@Vinguitar Those weren't phonetics though those are spellings. Phonetics are like this.

Aluminum - uh-loo-muh-nuhm

Aluminium - al-yuh-min-ee-uhm

Plus Aluminium is the British way to say it.

[Vinguitar]

@HotXingVG I never said that they were - but in concurrence, I probably should have used phonetics to prove my point.

[fatqwert200]

@Vinguitar well at least he wasnt asian god forbid indian dont complain

[xdubzeyx]

At the beginning you remined me of hebet the pervert

[ThatsWaddlesToYou]

BREAKS*

Pump up the volume so people don't have to turn up their speakers.

[tdogac]

Its almost silent......*CLICK*

[bob10023]

@tdogac Compared to what it would sound like if you dropped it on steel, yeah it's damn near silent.

[SpartanVoodoo]

@tdogac As opposed to how loud it WOULD be you know...

[ZURRIKU]

OMFG DIDNT HEAR IT AT ALL

[notnoisy12]

Aluminium is not magnetic right!??!?

[LoySisRoo]

@notnoisy12 right

[melis256]

@notnoisy12

Yes, but it is enough electrically conductive to create an electromagnetic field when the magnet gets moved around near it.

[CurtisThorpe]

Blows your mand.

[psychaospath]

You point your finger at me one more goddamn time i swear to fucking god...

[halo10107]

@psychaospath that was funny

[timecrashzero]

@psychaospath Why are you going to fuck god?

[adkim95]

@psychaospath what are you gonna do? poke him from your screen?

[Threisigl]

did anybody, ANYBODY, begin to think that maybe it was the air pressure slowing it down....

[SuperSkater54321]

keep pressin 0:38

[WideAngleDan]

Pretty sure it's just hitting in a way that makes the air get sort of trapped and have to get pushed out

[awsometotheawsomest]

ipernay, i never even watched thi vid. It might be spam or a hacker, or someone else logged on. i never would post this

[MrKiR0]

Ok ... I may be a nerd BUT THIS IS AWESOME TO ACTUALLY SEE! :D

where can I get one of those? I wanna use it to make sound o.o

[acechan14]

Mr.MAcky? is that you?

[BangasIsBack]

@acechan14

i got a stitch from ur comment!!! OOhh man it IS Mr. Macky

[richtankone]

why would a non ferrous metal be affected by a magnet?

[ShokaLion]

Bingo, Dino DNA!

[shinythingsusa]

Long Jump Boots anyone?

[aollolman]

I feel like I'm watching magnet porn.

[headchip26]

he sure doo hayve a purdy mouth

[Nuoz]

rednecks now alot about magnets man..

[conanhayle]

can I use ALUMINIUM or must it be aluminum?

[Veehmot]

Is this because of eddy currents?

[showMexicanPride408]

i hav a feeling these rare earth magnets arent as rare as they say

[Ruhkeni]

@showMexicanPride408 They're more common then Cobalt,Nickel, And copper ore.

[TheYoungerPerspectiv]

@showMexicanPride408 Rare earths = relatively common, just hard to tell apart.

[Star0Observer]

@showMexicanPride408

Rare Earth Magnets get their name from the materials used to make the magnet. Rare earth mags are 75-100 times stronger then the ceramic mags of the 70'. The rare earth composition was patented in 1986 as I recall.

[Youcansuckme69]

@showMexicanPride408 They are pretty rare but the materials have no other real applications so they end up becoming very cheap, since the market for rare earth magnets is very small.

[Vir9il]

@showMexicanPride408 The magnets themselves are not rare. They're called that because they are made of metals which belong to the "rare-earth" group of elements. These elements are not in fact very rare, but they can be difficult to mine because they are not often found in concentrated "clumps" in the earth's crust.

[Mattt8D]

@showMexicanPride408 I think that's a relative statement. 0.00001 percent of the mass of earth is still and extremely large amount of matter.

[blarghs]

@showMexicanPride408 its just rare compared to dirt

[EPICT0ASTER]

@showMexicanPride408 they are impregnated with rare-earth elements.

[yerboogieman]

Negatively charged magnet on ground, negatively charged magnets facing down. Flying cars?

[XxDarknessRisexX]

doesnt sound too silent

[hanghoodiescum]

hay magnet man are you attracted to boys or girls lol

[darthstfu]

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

[913WildCat]

@darthstfu Ask google!

[Zalman1337]

@darthstfu miracles

[psplayer444]

@darthstfu I don't want to talk to no scientist, y'all are lyin, and gettin me pissed!

[kght222]

you should have had a non magnetic disk of the same weight to give a comparison. (for those fools who think so) this type of stopping/slowdown will never stop you from dieing when you toss yourself off a building. but yes this does slow descent, there is a small period of hesitation as a magnetic field enters the presence of a ferrous where the metal and magnet are "repelled" as the magnet's magnetic field becomes part of the ferrous metal's field.

[kght222]

@kght222 just as it is repelled by a negative (or positive) field depending on orientation, it must change a neutral field, or basically shove a neutral field to its opposite polarity.

[HnorHell]

Are people stupid!? If you stop that instant. Even some stupid magnets strapped to your feet won't stop you from breaking you legs and face. And of course kill you.. But that's just a side-effect.

[FailsAreEpicToo]

This is used in elevator brakes and other stuff (look up magnetic eddycurrents). One problem is, as you can see on the close-ups in the video, neodymium magnets tend to flake and chip very, very easily. They're incredibly strong magnetically, but accedentally drop one only a couple feet onto a wood floor and it will be in pieces.

[lgr702]

Make a body shaped magnetic suit, buy a tunnel thats completely plated in aluminum, feel like superman.

[ackthemack]

ummm, i thought magnets have no attraction to aluminum?

[OokamiDoragon]

This guy is to magnets what hank hill is to propane.

[holyshitcantfindname]

Hey I want to ask anyone who have bought from his site before. Is it safe? and does it ship to Toronto, Canada?

[dani3lru1z]

LOL this dude's voice is awesome. @ 0:34

[shredderific1337]

i want to get paid money to fuck with magnets all day

[dgamezonu2693]

looks like you chipped that magnet. what happened?

[AENIMAno1]

typhoon landing system

[Vinhaay]

Now they can finally make flying cars possible. Magnetic roads with magnetic wheels.

[scottrharris]

Does your watch still work?

[blueshift77]

This principle is eddy currents. As the magnet approaches the aluminum, its field creates many small vortexes of current in the aluminum. These eddies generate an opposing field which repel the magnet, but will only last if the magnet is at speed. As soon as it loses speed, the eddies disappear, and the magnet plops down.

[chrisd3lacruz]

he sound's like Mr. DNA:

"Dino D-N-A!"

you just read that in his voice

[jesseRYU]

@chrisd3lacruz

JURASSIC PARK!! hahaha

[tribaldrummergod]

How does this work? As in, aluminum is non magnetic, so how does it act as if it has a polar opposite of the magnet?

[samhp84]

you americans sound real funny sometimes

[drbackjack]

@samhp84

You limeys aren't too bad yourself.

[TheGreatMrKite]

Fuckin magnets.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

[Judahmangi]

Make boots out of this material, put it on the top of high buildings, cover the ground in aluminum, put shoes on when building is on fire, jump, survive.

[averyaccordion]

@Judahmangi troll physics

@Judahmangi Deceleration would kill you, the same way it would as you hitting the concrete.

[IAMA1337NINJA]

@Judahmangi I'm just concerned that the all that force would make you go sideways and smash your face.

[epicarrants1]

@Judahmangi aluminum's not magnetic

[Mariolover24]

@epicarrants1 What did he just demonstrate in the video knucklehead?

[epicarrants1]

@Mariolover24 That magnets produce a magnetic FIELD thats not attracted to the metal. Lol, knucklehead

.

[azmanabdula]

@Judahmangi dont forget to land on your feet

[jesusramos1900]

@Judahmangi the sudden stop will still kill you

[SightlyAbyss]

@Judahmangi Aperture boots?

@Judahmangi What if you land head first?
