Ed Leedskalnin Magnet

*NOTE* I forgot to mention that the light bulb was changed to a LED. Ed Leedskalnin was a very interesting and curious man. He believed he had a more fundamental understanding of electricity and ...

like static electricity.
we hold the current till we touch, and shock somebody

Leedskalnin is a genius.

have you ever noticed that a young Nikola Tesla and Ed Leedskalnin looks very similar?
What if they are the same person, or relatives some how....their B-days and deaths are very close . just a thought

Nice little set up......Someone at Purdue did a similiar one to yours, people still argue exactly what the implications are of it. Ive done a similiar (much less impressive) version.... By taking two paper clips and a magnet hold the mag to one clip and pick up the other. Now SLOWLY take away the magnet and the clips will stay together...yet if you try to pick up even a tiny scrap of metal at their junction point it will not work.....so the effect is not a magnetic one(well not outwardly anywy)

Actually, the interaction is magnetic. The paper clips are roughly the same size, so at the junction of the two paper clips the net magnetic field is zero (or nearly zero).

Try magnetizing a much thicker paper clip and then picking up a smaller one. After you pull away the magnet, you should be able to pick up some metal scraps (iron filings should work best) at the junction point, since there net magnetic field is no longer canceled out completely.

Hmmm nice Idea, I will have to try that....yeah I guess what I meant by "not outwardly" was that the magnetic field seemed to be completely contained within the clips rather than traveling outside of them. I like your thoughts on the subject however...I will have to try that little experiment....thanks!

It looks like 2 closed circuits to me, one created from electricy or electron going around the coils, it then generates a magnetic field that is also a closed loop. one maintaining the other.
