  • FUCKING MAGNETS HOW DO THEY WORK

  • The explanation of how it works... The science behind it... According to Newton's... Shit, this thing is magic.

  • Drr...Drr...Drr

  • Lenz's Law

  • Interesting.

  • можно сделать ABS тормоза

  • Would the effect still be good enough with aluminium/steel pipes?

  • @WhynotMiha No. Magnet would stick to steel, and I believe aluminum has too much internal resistance.

  • @perkinms Nope, aluminum works the same as the copper.

  • +friction

  • did anyone else blink while it fell out of the tube, towards the camera?

  • this could solve world hunger someday

  • LAME MUCH?

  • duh copper is a conductor, Did any of you go to school?

  • 1) Hold your breath.

    2) Copy all of these steps.

    3) Go to two other video.

    4) Paste it in the comments.

    If you can do all of this without breathing you're a god

    Yay i win and had time to not breath typing this =D

  • @7RogerDI7 No one gives a flying fuck

  • If you put it in upside down will it go up?

  • This could be used for elevators lol =P

  • hi there, here are some few questions:

    1. the more rounds you foil the tube with copper the more slowly the magnet will fall?

    2. can you foil the tube with more than 1 wire? that means you will do a bit messy job and maybe some wires wont go so perfectly round the tube

    thanx in advance!

  • @PoopsMaster

    1- yes the more n number of coils affects the amount of current that is moving around, which would thus increase the intensity of the magnetic field. The lenz law is the drastic change in magnetic flux through a non-ferro conductive circuit that would force the polarization of the conducting circuit (since all elements have conductive properties), this polarization would in turn force the moving of current because change in flux means change in current, the current is perpindicular

  • @Channypogosticks first of all thanx for the fast answer.

    what i didnt fully understand is this: can you use more than 1 wire? if i run out of wire while im wraping my tube, can i just use another one from where the last one ended?

    so is it possible to wrap it n times so that the magnet will float ? or you can just slow it down but never actually make it stop?

    again thanx, this is very interesting

  • @PoopsMaster well it would still work as long as it is in a coil, and it makes a circuit, you might think it wont work since you may think that 'hey if i could put coils of wires together and it works, why cant i put many pipes together?' and the reason is that a circuit has a direction for the current to run, while a tube doesn't. I forgot to mention that there is a difference between a coil and a pipe, since a pipe generates many eddy currents which is an induced magnetic field.

  • Comment removed

  • @PoopsMaster an induced magnetic field which is eddy currents for pipes act differently than a coil since it is the same thing as the currents that are made when you pass a B field through a pipe but it is concentrated at the poles since the current has no where to go since a pipe is not a circuit. while a coil would not produce this slowing down effect as magneficently since the eddies and induced current has a circuit to follow so it wont float but just drop down...

  • @PoopsMaster for 2, no it would never float, even if you wrap it n times since it would just increase the amount of current, the magnetic field is proportionally increased to slow it down but it still wont float since this only happens because the change in magnetic field flux forces an induced current. without this change the there would be no current, and no current would mean no magnetic field to stop it from falling as fast... you could make it fall very slowly judging by the B field and n

  • @PoopsMaster wrappings of wire or the thickness of the tube and the diameter of how intimate it gets with the magnetic field but there is a limit to how slow it drops.... the surface of the magnetic field is the most important to slowing it down since it is where all of th emagnetic field is concentrated. I did experiments with over 10 different diameter magnets each diameter of a ceramic and neodymium magnet going through 5 different pipe sizes of copper and aluminum the slowest was 15 s p m

  • @Channypogosticks thank you very much for youre time i appriciate it very much

  • @PoopsMaster to the direction of the magnet because of the right hand rule of the planes of force, magnetic force and current. if you want more detailing this message me : D

    2- and no, when it is a pipe it is not a circuit, so therefore adding extra wires ontop of a non-ferro tube is useless, you might as well just use wires and take the tube out since it is taking the full potential of the magnetic field away!

    if you are doing a project on this it would be very hard., to win something!

  • @PoopsMaster Im in grade 9 and this year in a city wide science fair i got only a bronze..... which is bullshit since a dude was doing a project on shamwow and got a silver some how with no science behind it, just since he had a nice board and goes to a rich privateschool... I wrote 10 pages along with using grade 12 physics material on this and got nothing much in return..... sometimes i think that this world of science is marketing and not really made of science..... oh well good luck XRANTSX

  • are u female ?

  • so?????

  • Seems to me we should be calling this a copper PIPE, NOT a copper tube.

    Doesn't the word tube imply some flexibility, pliability?

  • why the hell am i watching this

  • and I don't know what to make of this one yet..

    watch?v=Hd04CmC0WIM

  • SEG Voltage controlled demo

    1.5 volts at .06 amps = 200 rpm regardless of size and weight

    watch?v=z8qvSNkiB9M

  • wanker......that old money stealer story sucks....

  • You're a joke Adrian Reef.

    Do some research on Lenz Law, eddy currents and linear motors before exposing your ignorance.

    John Searl is a respected hero to those who are capable of understanding higher levels of physics.

    Have a nice day sheep.

  • I know everything about the things you said -.-

    higher level of physics ?? cmon..shut up....

    I studied Lenz Law and Eddy currents in the High School...Searl videos are fakes...do some research about chroma key effects and camera tracking techniques( type "Terminator Face Effect Vfx - SynthEyes, 3ds Max, Photoshop & After Effects") and WAKE UP....

    ..also...don't act "SUPERIOR" until you READ AND COMPREHEND "Road to Reality -Book by Roger Penrose"..1114 pages of REAL HIGHER LEVEL PHYSICS...bye :)

  • @liadon666 Sorry to rain on your parade, but basically those kinds of books are categorized under "popular science" and are written at a level for a general audience. If you want to study higher level physics, go to grad school :)

  • dude....sorry to rain on YOUR PARADE...but how can you talk about a book you didn't even read yet ??

    silly....

  • haha i farted and it came out.. made my night

  • cow magnets are NOT sposed to pass thru to the pooter...

  • If you were to wrap the tube with coated copper wire (several hundred times) and place both ends on an amp meter you would see the current.

  • O.k. nerdy comment, but I lost my physics book and need some help, (looking from above) which direction is the current flowing below the magnet assuming the south pole of the Magnet faces down. Clockwise or counterclockwise? And then does the current reverse once the magnet has passed it?

  • depends on the pole on the magnet

  • question do eddy currents increase magnetic flux? In other words will the magnetic field be increased enough to make a strong magnetic field stronger.

  • pipe and or fairly unrefined copper usually has small amounts of iron in it. i doubt that anything other than the trace amounts of iron is slowing down gravity's pull on the magnet. Trivial but cool none the less

  • Mackdiddle, thats your theory and its wrong.

    Copper repels magnets, in the slightest amount. When metal is flung past copper it creates current. This current creates a small magnetic field and causes the magnet to "float" down the copper pipe.

    Residual iron in copper is completely false as a reason, you made that up to force this video to make sense in your own mind.

  • I believe this is Lenz's Law being displayed.

  • In about its purest form.

  • @astranine I thought it was Ediies??

  • @MrMadMinecraft Eddies*

  • I meant, is there a measurable electric current generated as the magnet falls through the tube?

  • Is there a measurable electric in the copper tube generated as the magnet falls through?

  • yes there is

  • My eye

  • eddy current built in the copper tube by the magnet magnetic field makes an opposite magnetic field against the original field which forces the magnet to slow down in falling.

  • i dont get the trick..

  • Eddy currents (and thus magnetic fields) induced in the copper via the moving magnet. This technique is used for damping in seismic sensors (among other things).

  • Very impressive demostration of Faraday induction law.

  • wow, the magnet is nicely measured according to the tube.

  • that cool... loks like breaking the law of gravity

  • ... It made a clinky noise. <3

  • intresting. but copper isnt ferris.

  • ferris is a type of wheel you'll find in amusement parks

  • Nice !

    Is the magnet repelling against a current that its own field is making ?

  • exactly

  • @tkelleman So if I had a costume, made of magnetic material with a magnetic potential that was that high, I could jump, in a copper tupe that's for example 20 m tall... and it would decelerate my fall to a speed of 50cm/sec?
