Thank you for showing me these experiments. They are good to know and you make them easy to repeat them at home. Thanks! ;-)

@sMartcreations2010 Thank you for the compliment...

If you like to play with magnets, Eddy Currents and Lenz´s Law are the basic knowledge and a must know!

I like to make it easy to understand and to reproduce cuz it´s the real deal...

Cheers...

Is it possible that you are demonstrating Lenz's law? An example would be when you drop a sphere magnet down a copper pipe. There is an example of Lenz's law on my you tube site as well. Great experiments! KEEP ON KEEPIN ON! SCOTT :O)

@scooterscottii Yes! The Lenz´s Force in my understanding are the Eddy Currents....

and the Lenz´s Law explains the direction of that force...

i was thinking about this yesterday playing with hard drive magnets and aluminum.

have you ever tried winding a coil around an aluminum core to see if the wires induct from the eddy?

[K0W0O0N0]

@Magneticitist Not yet, but i think the aluminum will get warm or act like a capacitor... i should try that :-] THX

I've heard that's how they seperate aluminum cans from garbage on a conveyor, the cans just jump off the belt.

@skycollection Thank you.

a good demostration of the eddy currents....! thanks for sharing...!
