Amazing Magnetic Force - Science Experiment!

Here we show that a magnet when dropped into a copper tube falls slower than without the tube. There is a magnetic force generated which pushes up on the falling magnet, thereby slowing its fall. Visit www.ScienceAndMath.com for more experiments and math tutorials!

Cool video! What would be even cooler is to use artificially generated currents to make something fall faster. go faster even. Like earth travel? Space travel? (I apologize if my comment is far fetched.)

@michiganblkman You could definitely do that. The only problem is that it would take a large amount of electricity to generate enough of a magnetic field to push a spacecraft to orbit. So much electricity, in fact, that it isn't practical to do that now. BUT, your idea is something that people have studied for a long time and could definitely work. Thanks!

THATS SO COOL MY KIDS R GONNA LOVE THIS

@ehrenloudermilk Thanks! Yes kids and adults alike really like it because it looks so darn odd as it falls so slowly!

This is really cool, thanks!

@bnosam You're welcome. Thank you!

wow!...Thank You so much for sharing this...you are awesome!...will you please upload more videos to help electrical engineers (beginners just like me) to understand basic concepts of this cool stuff? like electric circuit? or digital logic design?..In a short video...Thank you so much again Jason, You are the best :D
