A LONG time ago a lightning strike hit the antenna of the local police station where I lived. The surge also went into the central heating piping supplying the radiators of the station.. This was back then when PC monitors were CathodeRayTubes (CRT's), and the lightning surge magnetized the radiators so any monitor near them started showing psychedelic colors. The lightning surge made the radiators magnetic, just like a horse-shoe shaped piece of iron can be magnetized. Thanks for your excellent work Brainiac75 - Brian :ø)
I think that the Radiator isnt magnetized, but acts like a conductor for the magnetic field, drawing other magnetic field lines into itself, kinda like the Ferrite core in a coil.
Welcome back! I do upload every month (twice if Patreon is included). But you may only get notified of my magnet videos, unless you have the bell turned on to "always". In any, thanks for watching this one :)
Magnetic particles in the radiator will affect the radiator more than the earth surely? There is an enhanced WMM now with higher spherical harmonics to produce a higher accurate magnetic model but this will only model earth crustal to the size of 320km approx. The old model you had modelled to 900km.
Ha, my house was struck by lightning, and my girlfriend / fiancé was attracted to me before this event. But very soon after she became repulsed by me. Sad times ! I was hit by sparks from an exploding apple airport, she was deafened temporarily by the gas fire being blown off the chimney breast. Our poles might have been flipped ( or at least one of them ). I remember feeling something about 20 seconds before it struck. I shouted - unplug everything ! We ran around doing that and sure enough it struck. Our computers were saved, but the aerial connected to the cable box, to the cable cabinet at the end of the street, which then came back up the street and killed all the street’s computers and cable boxes ( those that had cable ). Wild ! I was about to video the lightning strikes when I felt the weird feeling that made me drop the camera and scream, “unplug everything!”. Probably we were lucky not to be unplugging things at the moment lightning struck !
If you could get some aluminum t-slot frames and motors, like you'd have in an open laser cutter - you could attach that probe instead of the laser or router and use an Arduino to automate taking a detailed magnetic map of that radiator. I think it would be an interesting video... if you have the frame and motors (or a laser cutter or router you could repurpose).
I guess that meter is "if you have to ask you can't afford it" territory lol. Years ago I saw a tree get zapped up close. Tree looked ok but it blew a round tunnel in the the mulch and burnt a straight line in the grass under 10cm ish of water to the building. CRTs didnt need a degauss but lost a few mboards and half a dozen nics. Back when lan cable used BNCs :)
Where I live we only got 1 day of snowfall last year. And it had all melted before 24 had passed. Enjoy that snow while you still have it. With climate change being what it is, you might not get to enjoy it for much longer.
Kid: Mommy, can you buy be a monster magnet?
Mom: But we already have a monster magnet at home.
The monster magnet at home:

Now, that is a nice story. Thanks for sharing, Egon! Apparently, my house has not been struck by lightning ;)
Why did I read CathodeRayDude 😅

I was thinking the same, especially when the orientation changes "instantly" when rotated.
i havent seen you upload in a while, good to see you again!

@brainiac75 no problem! Can't wait to see what you upload next month!
loved the safty message this time. Nothing dangerous this time except that the hot thing gets kind of hot
I love how you werent sure what to warn the watcher's about because this is just plain safe :)
Woah very interesting!
Great excursion into the earths magnetic field! :D
Have a great weekend! ^^

Really cool experiment
"I would measure outside, but, you know... weather..." Am Washingtonian, can confirm. A mere centimeter of snow shuts down the entire state...
Well done! Golder hour viewer
Nothing like the feeling of being early to a Brainiac75 video.
I wonder, now I have to check the radiators at a local building that is VERY old
Nice topic. Some anomaly around the radiators are come from the current loops.
That looks really neat. Magnetic radiators.
Wow that radiator is really nice ! And I will surely wait when you will make video on the so. Lamp 🤗
Thanks for the video, with all those strong magnets northern lights will be more visible over your house.

4:03 nice

Now the question is also if the radiator is magnetized over time or if it's unintentionally magnetized at manufacturing.

Hey, it would be interesting if you made a video about wireless energy
Tell me please, what is the correlation between magnetism and gravity?
Don't show this video to a flat earther.
The alleged curvature is within tolerance for flat in my book
I am pretty sure they don't watch my videos. Too many facts :D Thanks for the early watch!
"Good brick".

CAUGHT AN UPLOAD IN 7 MINUTES
Yep, thanks for the early watch :D
3 min ago?
Yep, you're here really early ;) Thanks!
