    Really clever idea! You might try painting the copper black and playing with the shutter speed of the camera to get a stroboscope effect that will make the copper look like it's not rotating so fast. Alternately do a really slow shutter speed so the cage is a blur and the sphere stands out better since it moves slowly

      Hey, love your videos!
      I was curious as to whether or not you have considered making content about the potential uses of thermoelectrics in personal temperature control?
      Like a air-conditioning suit using that thermal fabric of yours alongside a thermoelectric cooling pad.

      Or put an optical sensor on the drive, place a slotted disk on the shaft, and use a LED lamp, so that the lamp only shines when there is a view into the sphere from the camera. Will need to be optical simply because magnetic will not work with that massive field. Copper sphere would be best also heavily plated with silver, to reduce skin resistance, or of course if it was cast entirely in silver as well, either pure, or alloyed with copper like coins, so you get a harder alloy, but still with lower resistance.

    7:55 YOU NEED TO CHANGE AXIS OF ROTATION - that slice is disrupting the eddy current / Lenz’s Law, and the orientation is exacerbating the issue. You're rotating the sphere around the poles, and the slice is along the equator. If you move the axis of rotation to the equator, it will allow for larger, more continuous eddy current loops to form.
    There’s a short titled “Can a non-magnetic material be stopped by a magnet?” by tamuphysastr that overviews this concept pretty well

    • @crains8087
      @crains8087 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +270

      Or have a different design for the copper sphere that allows the eddy currents to form. The structure of the sphere, with all those holes, is limiting the size of the eddy currents. Try a sphere with bands perpendicular to the axis of rotation. I'd also try it with the cylindrical magnet inside the sphere.

    • @HB-et5iv
      @HB-et5iv 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +111

      No rotating over the poles. The magnet will always turn to align its poles with the axis of rotation, i.e. so that it feels the lowest forces.
      For the same reason it starts rotating with the sphere until the speeds match, the eddy currents cease, and it stops levitating :(

    • @skywolfbat
      @skywolfbat 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +147

      It's 100% the shape. It's creating patterns in the eddy currents which want to follow the shape of the copper. Remaking the mold with a band like structure (Think a spherical set of jail bars that meet at the poles) might give a better result. Or, if you wanted to have the bars of copper going along the axis of rotation, clip them in a cage like formation with plastic bars running one way and bands of copper running the other.

    Practical use of idea: miniature scale prototype. Hollow Copper tube 10ft long 10inch diameter. Inside on walls of tube place equally spaced negative to positive strips of magnetism equivalent length of copper tube. The passenger capsule will be the ultra powerful spherical magnet. Process of motion. Copper tube is to spin at a constant. Electric current is to run in the strips in the Copper tube. Each end of the Copper tube is to have a repelling force for the magnetic sphere aka the passenger capsule. Thus creating hyper-velocity from point A to point B. Congratulations. You have invented .

      The "sphere" has 60º rotational symmetry, so you can multiply that stroboscope by 6 (n/10 fps):
      60RPM = 6fps
      120RPM = 12fps
      300RPM = 30fps
      And use a short exposure time (with lots of light) so as not to blur the sphere to help it look stationary.

      You should induce the spin using an external magnet like you did at the end, but using a motor to spin the external magnet. This will keep the magnetic poles perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cage. The inner magnet would then be spinning the cage rather than the cage spinning the magnet. It should float nicely then.

      Weaker magnet?
      My thinking is the Hall Effect is overwhelming the power of the magnet because of the volume of copper. Even at slow speeds, there's too much resistence being generated by the sheer volume of copper in relation to the volume/effect of the magnet. In other words, Too much flour, not enough eggs in the cake.
      Try a larger area around the magnet, a smaller magnet, or less total copper around the magnet via larger holes. One/all of them are your solution. Find a ferrous sphere magnet and see what happens! I bet you could do higher speeds purely because of the MUCH weaker interaction between the materials.

    When I worked in a foundry, casting art pieces in bronze via the lost wax method predominantly, we used a compressed air gun with a small jack hammer like fitting to press against the sprue and vibrate the silica shell off of the actual piece thereby saving it from damage, and I can confirm that large pieces of shell falling off was most satisfying, as well as revealing the treasure inside of course. Great to see you doing it in what is essentially a backyard operation.

  • @zdenekneuman3879
    @zdenekneuman3879 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Wow :) What a cool design and casting work! My thoughts: The cylindrical magnet in a copper tube remains steadily oriented in relation to the tube and this helps to keep it levitating as the tube rolls. But a spherical magnet orientation isn't clearly defined in a copper cage rotating around one axis and therefore I think it will always bump into the cage's walls here and there because while the cage resembles a sphere the magnet still has north/south poles despite having spherical shape. So, maybe the cage would have to rotate around 3 axis to keep the magnet from touching the walls. But anyway, this was a very very cool experiment!

    Because the sphere is polygonal magnetically the magnet will see a bumpy surface, the join line being down the middle will make it even worse because the magnet only 'sees' loops of copper as electromagnets, and the join line breaks lots of loops of copper which ought to be there. This will make the centrifugal force problem much worse as the magnet is being effectively grabbed by the bumps.
    I think you could get the effect you want by making the sphere out of a series of copper rings held together by something non conductive. That way the symmetry isn't broken and the ball should levitate smoothly.

    Actually as it is have many holes , this really reduce eddy cuurent as resistance gets larger in the sphere thing and so the the magnet can not have the suspension force like in a solid cylinder so i think this is the most you can get out of it
    Also the split between the 2 Half's of the sphere reduce eddy current and increase resistivity as there is a layer of air between them ( even if they are touching it is higher resistant that the copper it self )
    But awesome design non the less

    Huge thank you, for making this video!
    My 50cents:
    Quench the copper to increase the electromagnetic conductivity, yes this will influence the total size and possibly shape of the sphere, I would suggest doing this in multiple 'soft' stages, where you raise the copper's temperature and then rapidly cool it across several slowly increasing increments to maintain structural symetry as much as possible.
    There seems to be a definite need to play with lighting and the coloring of the sphere to better showcase the events, I think it would definitely make it look more awesome.
    I'd love to see you use this sphere in a future video where you showcase some interactions with its unique shape and ferrofluid.

    Here’s an idea for you.
    Since there is a certain amount of “viscosity“ between the magnet and the copper “sphere“, you could create a perfect copper sphere, without any holes and center the magnet inside of that sphere on a center axle. Then you can cause rotation between the two with a couple of small electric motors, and the viscosity between the magnet and the copper sphere should start rolling the sphere. If you couple that with the conservation of momentum between the two components, you could make a remote control rolling sphere.

    Try freezing the magnet. Reduce the magnet size about 1/3. Fill the holes with copper plugs, every other one, gradually take out one at time, spin, see if fully covering the sphere increases resistance.

    Use the torroidal magnet attached to a motor to spin the sphere at just the right speed to make the magnet levitate?

    I believe that because of a "magnetic strobe effect" if you changed the quality of axels and the mounts with bearings for it to endure long term use. It would go through a small series of magnetic "strobing" and there would be several or multiple speeds that would make it stay levitating. Great job on the metal work. Im really impressed. Great quality of work! Im sure you can even get devices to measure the magnetic field output. Ill bet it puts out way more than you might think. If you attached it to a small frequency drive motor you could vary the speed for max levitation and field strength. Really great job!
    I should have waited for the last 30 seconds. Now you introduced the other magnet another idea. Precisely align two more magnets "motor driven" with variable speed or frequency drive. With a single rheostat or two "metered stats with speed indicators" with the idea of synchronizing the " drive field of the two driven magnets or maybe precise gear drive to make the synchro timing making the ball permanently levitate while under power. The longer the project stays under power I believe you will find "new curious " phenomenon. And maybe changes in the metals involved.
    I'm an electrician. Electrons do interesting things when forced into specific geometric courses as your project confirms like all before it.

    The magnet might float better if the two halves had a more ideal electrical connection. The eddie currents are probaly being interrupted at the seam. Maybe some more filing or you could TIG weld them together. This is really cool reguardless.
