This is an old video I made a year and a half ago. I have been asked to repost it so here it is. The electronics in the box below the light bulb is nothing more than a full bridge rectifier. So, I'm pulsing the coil with 60Hz pulsed DC. The metal needs to be high carbon steel and I have found later that it doesn't matter if the end of the Allen wrench is bent or straight...I still cannot detect a South pole no matter how many times and rods I try.

  • Way to not line the detector up antiparallel to the north at the back end. The bend in the wrench doesnt magically make the magnet redirect 90 degrees. The south pole should just be at the bend, exactly antiparallel to north, because thats the alignment of the field created by the coil

  • @eoe1177 I have already tried a straight piece of the same metal and I get the same result. It doesn't matter if the rod is bent or not there still is no opposite pole. Besides, your theory doesn't make sense otherwise a horse shoe magnet wouldn't work.

  • @Jamie,

    How long will it stay magnetized?

  • @wasuretta I don't know for sure but the Allen wrench in the video stayed magnetized for several months before Marko came over and we cut off the bent end. The heat killed the magnetism so we charged it again and I let Marko take it home with him. Don't know what he did with it after that.

  • could you re-do this exact example with a compass so you can show if the compass is turning (spinning) around. To eliminate of earth blocking south pole?

  • You should do this and then use it to watch the displacement of iron shavings! that would be cool!

    also, if there is only a north pole, couldn't you use this as a magnetic motor of some sort?

  • I wonder what exposure to super cold temperatures would do to the monopole allen-wrench.

  • See if a magnet is repelled depending on the pole you use.

  • You weakly magnetized the end of the Allen wrench... the results are not surprising.

  • How long does it stay like that. Does this make the steel last longer?

  • I once worked a job carbon treating steal parts to make them harder (stronger) I think what happens to make the steal stronger is that all the atoms in the steal becomes aligned & rigged to streighten the metal.. anyway.... cool video...( The outer brunt bluish surface of the metal from the carbon heat treatment probably might be what helps controls the magnet flow ) I don`t know. but it is very interesting to say the least.
