I love the energy and the genuine fascination for how our world works. You're an inspiration for so many young people to grab hold of and fall in love with science. Keep up the great work with this channel and thank you for making it so wonderful!
This is interesting to see, I found this video sluggish and boring. I had to skip through a lot of her rambling to see the drops and didn't even get to learn any cool science stuff because it felt like she was talking at the pace of a 6 year old. (Expected since "PBS" is literally in the intro but this video could have been a lot better)
Stigstigster If you can’t keep up with Diane, decrease the play speed to 0.75 of a normal speed, there is button behind the three dots button at the upper right corner.
I'm almost on favor of change that. As a viewer I love that slogan, it's like the signature of Diana, but is a pain in the tongue when i'm translating subtitles to spanish, lol. "Felices Físicas" is the best I could came up with.
I grew up literally on the Chesapeake bay (my dad was a water man). The tidal forces of having the same high tide on the opposite side of the earth now makes sense. Thank you for the information and as always your enthusiasm. Its contagious. and oh please don't ever change "happy physicsing" We need people to see that there is excitement and even joy in studying these things.
actually the same happens with gravity, if you try that in a planet with stronger gravity the same will happen. you could actually make the droplet orbit the magnet as far as I know. the part of not escaping the blackhole is a little more extreme than that... it would be as if the droplet when hitting the surface of the plate instead of spreading or bouncing back, it would just pass right through it and freeze in time. the difference of magnet and gravity is that the force gradient of the magnetism is way stronger than gravity.
Danilo Oliveira True that it would freeze in time but that would be to an external observer. The actual droplet would pass on through, until spaghettification eventually did it's thing. Every black hole causes spaghettification. It just depends on the distance (of the object) to the singularity.
Danilo Oliveira Also, orbiting a magnet is quite difficult. There is only one(or two?) particular paths around which the orbit can be stable, assuming eddy currents don't eat up its velocity. The two possible orbits i can think of are a perfectly equitorial and a perfectly polar orbit.
it's also really cool how the splashes reverse course at an angle, almost like a rubber band rebounding; rather than the usual hyperbolic trajectory away from the center of the splash.
Nobody mentioning the unnatural splashing without the magnet 2:13? The ferrofluid splashes up and outward but then it stops expanding out and it even looks like it returns a bit inward... High surface tension? Lenz's law effect of the ferrofluid with itself?
Love this video, it was so neat to see the ferrofluid with the magnet directly underneath it form spokes radiating outwards until it formed the edge of the drop.
I always think of the superpositioning of earth and moon gravity field distorting the normal vector. Along the earth-moon axis, the gravity pulling down just becomes lower at the moon side and higher at the opposite side, but the tide happening at these two places has not to do with that effect, but with the effect, the distortion has around the earth at the sides. The normal vector there does not go straight to earth core anymore, it's slightly rotated or rather tilted and thus water flows to build the tide "mountains" and it flows towards the still normal vector, but that much more depends on the changed orientation of the gravitation normals than their magnitude. If you look at the differential field you get when subtracting moon from earth gravity, you can see the difference vectors go horizontally to earth surface at four angles around the earth. These are contributing to the cycle of four tides you normally have per day, at these four places water flows away and later arrives in the places where the differential field has no reorientating effect. There is an obvious lag time water needs to flow. The sum of gravity fields mainly influences the geometry of the field and changes where "down" is and then this change lets water flow. The effect of gravity along earth is very small. The earth is so far from the moon that it doesn't go through such a high gradient and difference as the magnetic field strength, so that can't explain earth oceans acting like a giant drop of water, but you are right about the much stronger gravity gradient near a black hole.
For more details you might look into this: www.jalc.edu/mikolajsawicki/tides_new2.pdf It doesn't pick up my idea about the changed normals of the gravitational fields, but it comes to a conclusion of a time lag of tides with moon positions, that can also be explained by the time it takes the water to flow along the changing gravitation normals. It also explains the differences of high and low tide but it also tells about how local geometry and ocean depth contribute to sites having only one tide per day and other anomalies. Besides that, the motivation of the paper is to demystify the tidal effect on the human body or even a glass of water and it does that very well.
I was going to leave a comment saying : "No, don't change your 'Happy physicsing' motto". Then I realised its nearly three years ago and you haven't changed it. I'm so glad! As others have said, it's like your trademark, it defines your channel and your fun way of making science fascinating. Keep up the good work!
I saw something which I thing is weird. Normally, when a drop of a liquid falls, it splashes but the ferrofluid, when the magnet was not there, after splashing a little, came back to its original position, the point of contact. What I was expecting in the first case happened in the second when the magnet was there! I thought that due to the pull of the magnetic force, the ferrofluid will not bounce or splash but it did!

Shashwat Gupta I don’t know about magnetism but with black holes a smaller black hole has a larger chance of spaghettification since the gradient of gravitation force is higher over a set distance. In other words, falling into a large black hole would just crush you. It seems counterintuitive but i think a smaller magnetic field is required to rip apart the drop. Small but strong. I figure surface tension or something similar plays into the fact that it doesn’t break up.
A. I really loved the fluid dynamic explaination provided here. B. Happy Physicsing always makes me think about physicians, like if we treated their job like others they wouldn't "practice" medicine they would be physicing. C. While I am unconvinced of the slogan, I think your community would prefer you kept it. Rebranding can be really hard on community, and often leads to mistrust. (I once worked for a small engineering firm that changed its name (for reasons), and we lost like 60% of clientele)
Oh nooo..., don’t change the slogan! What do you mean “makes no sense”? Verbing nouns is pretty vernacular for a long time now, and it makes perfect sense. You think “have a happy time while studying physics” makes better sense? Pah!
I build high powered electric bikes. We tend to use hub motors that sit inside the rear wheel. Effectively, it's an outrunner motor with a wheel laced to it. Since we push 10kw+ through them, removing heat can be a problem. You can get heatsinks to sit on the motor casing, but the stator is separated by a small air gap, rendering the heatsink a bit useless. We use ferrofluid to bridge that stator/rotor gap, providing a significantly better thermal path from the stator to outside the motor case/rotor
Strength of magnetic field felt by the ferrofluid increases exponentially as the ferrofluid drop gets closer to the magnet, causing elongation of the droplet
Has anyone ever told you how “forceful” and “energetic” you are when “moving” to “matters” that “deal” in SCIENCE?!! I’d say you are the small drop that clings to the craft while propelling, propelling, propelling your craft placidly down the solution, (becoming) ecstatic ecstatic ecstatic ecstatic, existence is but an illusion. Never stop learning. Love your show! Signed just a sailor.... stay true to course. ;)
Hey Diana, where do you go for fluid dynamics conferences? I studied Fluid Dynamics in NZ, but we don't have any conferences like that (that I know of)
OMG this was sooo cool! I love seeing videos of ferrofluid and i really liked watching this. You are making me see physics with different eyes. Thank you!
Your explanation for how tides work is wrong!! Check out this PBS Digital Studios Space Time video from a couple of years ago: th-cam.com/video/pwChk4S99i4/w-d-xo.html
You should've played with the size of the magnet, height from which you release the drops, size of drops, and the angle of the plane on which the drops splash (plane of the maganet). Merry Christmas and keep up that amazing energy!
David Kenny No. In supermassive black holes the difference in gravity is really small between head and toe until you're long past the event horizon(assuming you're falling in one).
The larger size of magnet breaks the analogy. The reason for the lower tidal forces at the event horizon of a supermassive black hole is because you are further from the singularity, reducing the gravitational gradient over any two particular radial distances from the event horizon (notice that I didn't say from the singularity). Kip Thorne explains this well in the beginning of _Black Holes and Time Warps_
Love it. And keep "Happy physicsing." I've adopted this neologism to ask my son (who's taking on online course in physics) if he's "physicsing" when he's logged on.
When the magnet is right against the plate 2:33 you can see the fluid splash but it stays caught in the magnetic field... i think... that's why after a few drops you still see clear lines radiating out from the center. in the others (especially the one with no magnet at all) the distribution of the fluid when it hits is more uniform.
The thing I noticed is that when the magnet is directly below the plate, when it splashed, it formed a sphere, presumably where the magnet is. It's strange that it didn't do that with the other one with magnets, though.
The fact that the Ferrofluid is accelerating in a non-uniform magnetic field has to also cause effects within the Ferrofluid itself, it starts to self interact in a manner similar to the more typical spike effect that you see when it is at rest in the field.
When there was a magnet under the plate, the fluid did not bounce as high compared to the drop without a magnet. The magnet is the main driver of this difference in bounce height. It is interesting to see how the fluid reacts to the magnet as it hits the plate in slo-mo!
I love "Happy Physicsing" It sounds more active than "Happy Observing and describing physical phenomena" and it clearly communicates a specific idea. That idea being physics is something people do. The universe isn't going to describe itself, so we get to!
To avoid getting a magnet "dirty with filings/ferrofluid ", I always put the magnet in a plastic baggie. It has no effect on the field, but can easily be removed cleanly separating the filings.
Wow, if only everyone had that much energy in life. Amazing videos, clear excellent expansions, really invigorating considering that the topic bores most people to sleep. Thanks!
I guess the fluid just maps out the magnetic field lines. That can be made out as you see the difference between the clips when the magnet is a little further away from the plane and when its directly below. The tangent to a magnetic field line represents the direction of the field at that point. Someone may ask, "there are an infinite number of field lines, so why are there a finite no. of spikes observed?" Well, firstly the number if spikes have to he finite, as there is only a finite amount of fluid. Next, there exists cohesion between ferrofluid molecules. How does that work? Lets say you have two spikes very close to each other, pointing approximately in the same direction. As cohesive forces also vary as 1/r^(n), two very close spikes will form a single, bigger one. As we go more and more above the surface of the plate, two field lines which started as pointing in approximately the same direction when very close to the plate will diverge, hence explaining why it is conical in shape (the spikes). If someone finds something wrong, please reply.
In the 1 inch setup the fluid was affected with uneven forces so it came under pressure and splashed every where, be when the magnet was below it, the force was concentrated on a specific spot, that's what I noticed
I noticed a difference in the behaviour in spreading. Without a magnet, the fluid spreads like a circle, with a magnet, 2.54cm beneath the surface, streaks appear, and the drops, which fly of, stay where they landed. If the magnet is directly beneath the surface, streaks appear as well. But this time, they are much thinner and the drops at the end of the streaks start to fill up. I think that is in correlation with the magnetic field lines, which can be seen in the fluid.
This was one of your exciting video...Love your videos and thank you for my physics lessons...which you were my instructor when I was in school...I would have study more...keep up the FANTASTIC work.
I noticed that when the magnet was 1 inch below the paper plate the "spikeyness" (don't know what you'd call it but essentially the magnetic field) was much more visible and exaggerated compared to when the magnet was directly beneath. Allowing you to see the field, and it's various strength and pattern around the magnet I guess. Pretty cool I think :)
Another thing the drop does is without the magnet, when the drop hits, it splashes up and out, just like other fluids. But as the magnet gets closer to the plate, the “upsplash” decreases to the point where when the magnet is directly under the plate, there’s no upsplash at all; it just splashes outward as the magnet holds onto the ferrofluid too strongly for it to upsplash. Also as it upsplashes, it throws out satellites, but without the upsplash, there are no satellites. The ferrofluid just spines out as far as the magnet is; where the magnet stops, so does the ferrofluid. No scallops, no spines, no satellites.

I know right :D I love how both her parents are just looking at her like.. WTF are you doing? xD
I think "Happy Physicsing" is perfect; don't change it!
YEAH!!!!!
Rodney Owen this
Indeed, it's now the channel brand, and we love it :) .
Agreed keep "happy physicsing"
Things would not be the same without "Happy Physicsing". Grammar is unimportant in this case.
"What else would you film besides a ferrofluid?" Maybe how you smash a gingerbread mobile home

oh Lord
Exactly she can do that too
yes
A soon as you mentioned black holes I knew I had to be looking for spaghettification :D
Pablo M - I think we all did.
Ha lol she spelt it wrong in the description

Came for cool physics, stayed for 4:24
That look on mom's face though. "this is not my child.." maybe. LOL
lol
Lets get physic-cool
they are like "what did we do wrong ?"
I think you meant: they are like "wow, we did alright!"

Don't change "happy physicsing". That's you'r slogan. Don't change it!
"Happy Physicsing" may make no sense but we all know that and the result is it's pretty cool. Don't change it, please.
i agree, keep the "Happy physicsing"! and maybe spell it with a 'k' for extra koolness :)
I'm almost on favor of change that. As a viewer I love that slogan, it's like the signature of Diana, but is a pain in the tongue when i'm translating subtitles to spanish, lol. "Felices Físicas" is the best I could came up with.
Actually there's sth funny about it. As a forgein speaker it somehow makes sense :)
And... I love the slogan
RadioMax "Felices Físicas" literally just means "happy physicists" lmao
I know, still makes no sense in spanish, so it's a draw... I guess XD
Your enthusiasm is really contagious. If only my physics teachers would've been so motivating.
"Happy physicsing" makes perfect sense, keep it!
Also I love it, so there's that.
I grew up literally on the Chesapeake bay (my dad was a water man). The tidal forces of having the same high tide on the opposite side of the earth now makes sense. Thank you for the information and as always your enthusiasm. Its contagious. and oh please don't ever change "happy physicsing" We need people to see that there is excitement and even joy in studying these things.
Without the magnet the slash like expanded then srunk until it hit
And the magnet makes it expand only along certain lines ignoring the viscosity
Nator interesting didn’t notice that 😁
Yeah I say that too. It didn't seem to break off.
I was impressed with how the splash back of the ferrofluid happened so quickly compared to other fluids later in the video. Great video!
With the magnet, the ferrofluid had no recoil when it hit the surface, it just spread out. Kinda like nothing escapes a black hole once it enters one.
actually the same happens with gravity, if you try that in a planet with stronger gravity the same will happen. you could actually make the droplet orbit the magnet as far as I know. the part of not escaping the blackhole is a little more extreme than that... it would be as if the droplet when hitting the surface of the plate instead of spreading or bouncing back, it would just pass right through it and freeze in time. the difference of magnet and gravity is that the force gradient of the magnetism is way stronger than gravity.

The tide model and explanation at 4:00 is absolutely terrific.
Nobody mentioning the unnatural splashing without the magnet 2:13? The ferrofluid splashes up and outward but then it stops expanding out and it even looks like it returns a bit inward...
High surface tension? Lenz's law effect of the ferrofluid with itself?
Thank you, watched that oddity repeatedly on slo-mo thinking "what the..."
Love this video, it was so neat to see the ferrofluid with the magnet directly underneath it form spokes radiating outwards until it formed the edge of the drop.
2:48 I noticed that when the magnet was directly below the plate, a ring and spokes were formed rather than a disc.
Love William, and I love this channel! So happy my two favorite people got to collaborate!!

That's rather addressed to Dianna Cowern, but the paper has some entertaining moments, too, putting things into perspective.

i could see the shear thickening effect stop at once at 2:35 on the side
It might be because the video was cut and edited together. Maybe Possibly. Please don't hit me with an internet stick.
The happiness when the phenomenal Physics Girl uploads a new interesting video. How awesome is that? Mostly mindblowing crazy awesome experiments.
Spaghettification? Great, now i'm hungry
Your excitement speaking about these thing makes me excited too even though I can't understand half of it. Keep up the great work is all I can say!
Last time I was this early, William's house was still not burnt :(

too soon dude
Sorry about that
Rolling shutter probably plays a part in the shape of the droplets. Smarter Every Day did an excellent video on the rolling shutter effect.

Spaghettification is my new favorite word!
You should've played with the size of the magnet, height from which you release the drops, size of drops, and the angle of the plane on which the drops splash (plane of the maganet). Merry Christmas and keep up that amazing energy!
Physics girl crush😍
woah!!
It's just hormones.
She's really kinda cute.....like physics....
Please, Don't judge me

Shahnish Sharma judge you? I agree with you
Keep happy physics-ing!
One of the first views and before 1k views
Dianna, Doc Edgerton (and Charlie Miller) would be proud of you. Keep up the wonderful channel.
So with a big enough magnet, you wouldn't get spaghettification as is the case with supermassive black holes
Surya Are you thinking that the spaghettification is happening after contact with the magnet?
David Kenny No. In supermassive black holes the difference in gravity is really small between head and toe until you're long past the event horizon(assuming you're falling in one).
Ok, I was putting your comment before this one together (as a continuation of one thought).
time to fire up the MRI
The larger size of magnet breaks the analogy. The reason for the lower tidal forces at the event horizon of a supermassive black hole is because you are further from the singularity, reducing the gravitational gradient over any two particular radial distances from the event horizon (notice that I didn't say from the singularity).
Kip Thorne explains this well in the beginning of _Black Holes and Time Warps_

Well, firstly the number if spikes have to he finite, as there is only a finite amount of fluid. Next, there exists cohesion between ferrofluid molecules. How does that work? Lets say you have two spikes very close to each other, pointing approximately in the same direction. As cohesive forces also vary as
1/r^(n),
two very close spikes will form a single, bigger one. As we go more and more above the surface of the plate, two field lines which started as pointing in approximately the same direction when very close to the plate will diverge, hence explaining why it is conical in shape (the spikes).
If someone finds something wrong, please reply.
In the 1 inch setup the fluid was affected with uneven forces so it came under pressure and splashed every where, be when the magnet was below it, the force was concentrated on a specific spot, that's what I noticed
Look at the way the ferrofluid bounces when dropped! This caught my attention
I noticed a difference in the behaviour in spreading. Without a magnet, the fluid spreads like a circle, with a magnet, 2.54cm beneath the surface, streaks appear, and the drops, which fly of, stay where they landed. If the magnet is directly beneath the surface, streaks appear as well. But this time, they are much thinner and the drops at the end of the streaks start to fill up.
I think that is in correlation with the magnetic field lines, which can be seen in the fluid.
Awesome video, and great involvement of your folks
Physics girl's videos are getting better and better. :D
I actuly never fully understood the tides but your way of explaining it has made me
I always wondered what this looked like thanks Diana 😊
Love your enthusiasm so much! I wish I had a physics teacher like you when i was in school. Keep being awesome, and thanks for your videos!
This was one of your exciting video...Love your videos and thank you for my physics lessons...which you were my instructor when I was in school...I would have study more...keep up the FANTASTIC work.
I noticed that when the magnet was 1 inch below the paper plate the "spikeyness" (don't know what you'd call it but essentially the magnetic field) was much more visible and exaggerated compared to when the magnet was directly beneath. Allowing you to see the field, and it's various strength and pattern around the magnet I guess.
Pretty cool I think :)
Keep Happy Physics-ing!
It makes it all sound way more awesome and intteresting and exciting.
Another thing the drop does is without the magnet, when the drop hits, it splashes up and out, just like other fluids. But as the magnet gets closer to the plate, the “upsplash” decreases to the point where when the magnet is directly under the plate, there’s no upsplash at all; it just splashes outward as the magnet holds onto the ferrofluid too strongly for it to upsplash.
Also as it upsplashes, it throws out satellites, but without the upsplash, there are no satellites. The ferrofluid just spines out as far as the magnet is; where the magnet stops, so does the ferrofluid. No scallops, no spines, no satellites.
