I think everyone on this site is retarded, not knowing how this works
MOTHERFUCKINGODIN
i am a mister doctor in science. this works because magnets are metal with small portions of gravity still trapped in them.
Tapazzirani
A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field, a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron.
Mithrand
...yes...
NorfolkBoy
The real explanation is even weirder. Seriously, electrons be fucking rum man.

What is the friction coefficient here? Science anyone?

Note that the tape wrapped around the spindle armature before being stuck in the magnet and washer is actually WIRE. Won't work without it.

We're both positive that magnet lifts.
BethHamme
i'm curious, is that green/brown tape something special? copper or something? or just something to hold the magnet/washers?

I like how we all just understand this is real. Don't have to be shown

Maybe thats how flying saucers work

I think so too, only there tech is better.

Electrons spinning in the same direction create magnetic domains?
BlameMeIVotedForKang
Correct. And then in ferromagnetic materials (ie iron) all these domains are locked in a single direction, creating a macroscopic phenomena

So if you did this in a vacuum would it spin forever or is there some magnetic or electric field that would slow it eventually?
deadman06271
i dont know, id imagine it would go on much longer but not infinitely, id imagine some energy is lost from the interactions of the 1/?
deadman06271
overlapping magnetic fields and slowly stop spinning. im a mechanic with only a basic understanding of the physics behind this kind of 2/?
deadman06271
stuff so.... not 100% sure 3/3

A speaker magnet for the base and a smaller ring shape neodymium magnet for the top

Magnets n shit
DaBigCheesy
Well I have the shit... But they kicked me out of the magnet store because of the smell.

I've never seen a DIY version of this.

But where does one salvage ring magnets, rather than buying?
BronkLuonk

unordinarypunk
Microwaves, maybe speakers
djmaskell
Old speakers, perhaps?
beardedheathen
Yep. When I was younger I had a huge collection of ring magnets cause I'd go scavenge every trash day. Speakers are best and easiest
HellooooNurse
Magnets... How do they even?

It's all done with virtual photons communicating forces between electrons.

Relativity. Electromagnetism is so powerful that even the slight difference imparted by small relative motion creates powerful effects.
NoFudge
Wow people actually believe you :p That isn't even electromagnetism.

NoFudge
Yes, that is electromagnets in the video. OP's magnets are not using electricity
arrbos
at 3:44 he says to go to the MinutePhysics video about permanent magnets
ThyFather
In what way does it not describe how an electromagnet works?Just curious because I thought this was the principle at work in a electromagnet
NoFudge
First of all, this is magnetism, no electricity involved. And seriously, you thought that was a good description of electromagnetism?
drake7707
Maxwell equations I would imagine
TraitorousTrump3
No, that's light. :-)
IcyhotFeelsNice
no, that's electromagnetism.
TraitorousTrump3
That's the joke.
AyAyRonn
Maxwell's equations explain how a magnetic field works but not the origins of magnetism. For that we have to go to relativity and electrons
IcyhotFeelsNice
when written in simplest form, maxwells equations can be used with relativistic effects.
AyAyRonn
We can model that with Maxwell's equations, but we have to be able to set up the system to properly explain it
AyAyRonn
True, but that still doesn't explain where magnets comes from (d orbitals populated with same spin electrons).
IcyhotFeelsNice
eh, i always just thought multipoles and dipoles was basic... aligning the dipoles is the key. not just d orbital though...
IcyhotFeelsNice
you must be a fellow physicist :)
IcyhotFeelsNice
hunds rules fills any orbital with the same laws so just the right number of electrons to protons will yield ferromagnets.
