@anywhere88 sure try using very light wires and a strong magnet or electromagnet

Hi! Do you think it's possible to experience the same effect by using a battery? For a home-made safe experiment... Thanks.

@evamber01 Because 25 Amps will kill your ass.

@IAbominator voltage is a different thing than amperage. the magnetic force occurs because of the amperage, which is the flow of electric charge per second. voltage is a potential difference between two points. amperage carries the power. voltage wouldnt help you that much.

Nice voice you have there!

Hey great vid just wanted to ask u wether using amps would be more effective than using voltes
-
Where did you get the magnet?

@mdr6379: The magnet has been sitting around here (the Physics Dept. of St. Lawrence University) for several decades. My colleagues call it the "magnetron magnet", so it may have originally been used in microwave work, but I'm guessing we got it from an electronics surplus store. I've looked on ebay, but haven't seen any similar ones. FWIW, the maximum field is about 1 kilogauss or 0.1 Tesla.
