JK Plasma Magnetics Experiment 1

A demonstration of an interesting effect, illustrating JK's idea about magnetic field lines.
The plasma in the cup rotates clockwise or counterclockwise depending on its exposure to the field lines of the permanent magnet.
It's a bit hard to see the fast spiralling rotation in the video; it is quite dramatic.

Hi, thank you for very interesting video, tinselkoala!

I'm just wondering how I can make this plasma? And is it possible to shield agaist like this?

Hope you'll tell me when you have a chance. Thank you again, tinselkoala:)

@seveneight10

You are welcome. I think the glass envelope contains a trace of low-pressure neon gas. The base of the unit makes a high-voltage oscillating electrical field that ionizes the neon and makes the plasma. It's a shortrange effect, I'm not sure what you mean by shielding. At the high frequencies used to make the plasma, almost every surface will conduct somewhat, unless it is absolutely dry. So the plasma generating effect could be shielded easily I think by a conductive outer skin.

This is not evidence of a rotating feild in a perminant magnet , what is happening here the principle demonstrated in 1830 by Faraday with the Faraday Motor, The currect flowing in the plasma creates its own magnetic field and this rotates , That interacts with the field of the perminant magnet, Rotational magnetic field in Electrical circuits is well know and understood this is because there is a flow of current , in a perminant magnet there is no current moving the field is stationary

@mimic58

I agree with you mostly.

great experiment unfortunately its a very indirect and incorrect method or way of testing the motion of the magnetic particles exiting the permanent bar magnet. If you follow Edward Leedskalnins experiments in Magnetic Current you will discover as he did the correct way the move and how they create what we call electric current. For illustrations simply visit magneticcurrent dot blogspot. Read and perform EDs experiments for your self first and see if he is wrong!

@SevenScientist

Hey, if it will get me a "Sweet Sixteen" I'll try anything once.

How long have you been insane, I wonder?

100%!!!!

Check out Magnetic Current By Ed leedskalnin!!

GREAT VIDEO!!!

Here is an IDEA!!! Mount a neodymium magnet at the point of a precision adjustable high rpm motor. Spin the magnet both directions!!!!! Reversing the rotation as well Very fast! Watch it affect the plasma.... Steve

Could it be that the field rotates at the center in one direction and it rotates in the opposite direction in the other pole. Plasma is just very "light" and it shows this rotation much easier.

how do you make the gas glow? What's the black thing?

[mimic58]

@Albalan0779 no... Plasma acts like a magnet because current is flowing through it just the same as apeace of copper wire will jump away from a magnet when a current is applied to it , The flow of current creats a magnetic feild which makes it interactive with a perminant magnet
