For those of you who are confused this is a very awesome concept. When a magnet is in motion around copper a magnetic field forms, if the magnet stops moving the field goes away. It falls slowly because the field holds it up, but cannot stop it because the field would go away. Magnets in motion around a copper wire is also what makes a generator. This basic example here is actually the basis of how almost all electricity is generated.
Very cool effect and I'll definitely try it if I get the chance. Only problem will be getting hold of $500 worth of copper, have you all seen how thick that pipe is??!?!
Hans Frisk Incorrect. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You do feel the force of the repulsion of the magnet in the pipe, so essentially yes, the pipe would feel heavier while the magnet is inside it. This is the same reason why maglev train tracks still have to be sturdy structures, it's still supporting the weight of the train, even if the train isn't touching it. The repulsive force is equal to that of the train's weight, so the tracks feel the full weight of the train here.
Easy to understand answer: If it was put with a string, it would also be 'heavier'. There's more force pulling it downwards than before, so yes, it gets heavier.
Youre pretty much right on. The way I look at it is the mechanical kinetic energy (due to gravity and the spin he applies to the magnet) is getting transformed into electrical energy, and due to conservation of energy, the magnet must slow down
Just a quick explanation: Copper is not magnitic but it's a good conductor, what you see here is not magnetism as if you put a magnet on iron but rather induction. The effect is cause by Lenz' Law. Simplyfied the magnet inducts an electric current in the pipe which causes a magnetic field opposed to the one of the magnet, wich causes it to slow down. Another thing I've often seen is the question if the pipe is heavier as the magnet goes through. No it is not heavier, the pipes mass or weight doesn't change.
No eddy currents are involved in this phenomenon. It is dielectric permativity. Copper displaces the magnetic field of the magnet and it is then the dielectricity of the magnet combining with the dielectricity of the copper which causes dielectric drag. Copper is not a conductor. It generates heat therefore it is resistive; more accurately, a deflector of EMF. The air outside of the copper is the greatest conducting medium in the system. Although the mass does not change, the magnitude of the system does. The fields of the the two entities combine causing the copper to produce additional dielectric acceleration toward the scales. The combined 'force' is registered as additional weight while the magnet is falling inside the copper.
***** what happens if there is a magnet placed with the like pole facing upwards. Will that repulsion manage to keep the magnet floating inside this copper cylinder?
nah it wont because the copper has some electrical resistance. superconductors will let you do this and you can see super conductors allowing magnets to float in mid air in other videos.
no, im talking about the eddy currents. the copper is not a perfect conductor so the magnetic field that the eddy current creates doesnt perfectly oppose the change in the magnetic field from the magnet moving down the copper tubing. if you get a superconductor below its critical temperature, a magnet can float. same principles, different applications.
Could you attach the copper pipe to some kind of machine that constantly spins the pipe, and I suppose spins 180 degrees fast like you did in the video, to keep the magnet inside and not ever fall out? That would be cool
That large of neodinium magnet must be handeled VERY CAREFULY. its all fun and games until it crushes tour hand to the refrigerator and u call 911 and the firedighters come and they dont know howbtobget your hand out short of cuting it off
Thanks a bunch! 2 minutes ago I had no idea fat copper pipe existed, nor did I see a need for it. Now I will spend hours online in search of, as now I need to have, and once I find - many more hours spending time playing with my fat copper pipe & neodymium magnet
***** Neodymium is heavy and the magnetic forces would be too great for human muscles to overcome to move in the suit. Now what if the human was put in a neodymium box in a copper room? ;D
labobo Ofcource, if the suite was purely made out of magnets, then you wouldn't be able to move, even it if wasn't magnetic. But I asume that was not what he meant. Who says that the magnets have to be that strong by the way?
+Electro-Cute they have to be a neodymium magnet or it wont work... or just a really strong magnet. like a electro magnet, neodymium is the worlds strongest magnet that doesn't take electricity. the thing that this thing is called is eddy's current...
this could be an interestind concept for underground trains (subways) in the future as it would be a great way to brake the car, while the magnet could also provide thrust and lift.
Thanks, I didn't expect anybody to respond. I have never seen that kind of thing before and it blew my mind, I'm certainly going to try it. I just don't have any neodymium magnets.
thank you for posting this, I've seen the other videos with smaller pipes and little magnets, but none like this this is the stuff future hovercrafts and infinite energy and other crazy things are going to be made of
It looks like something you could buy in a museum gift shop for £2 which is amazing for the first day or so but eventually you just leave it on your mantle piece...
D Jeffery-Hughes What, the copper tube or the magnet? That tube must weigh several pounds and here in the U.S. is $1.70-$2.20/lb. That magnet is neodymium magnet probably costs anywhere from $75 - around $100. I use smaller ones everyday at work. The bulk-head of my work van has them all over so I can stick tools to them. There are many many uses if only you use your imagination!
Yes, it does. Because there is a force upwards slowing down the descent, there is an equal force projected downwards. This force can be felt as the pipe becoming heavier.
***** Cool maybe you'll discover how we can use alien tech to our advantage .i forget which documentary it was but i saw one this old nasa guy who used to work at area 51 .he basically exposed some of the tech that they had that was alien and its a pretty good 30min segment he goes into detail about talking with the aliens and he shows from inside their space craft of them flying around .they have like a monitor on their ship you cant see it from the outside but the inside it looks like a window which you can see outside with almost star trek .it was all legit these pictures and he shows the technology he had a sphere that floated he said their technology evolves around anti gravity that's how they are able to have their ships float in the air like that .He said there is some crazy mathamatic equation for it which he didnt go into to deeply .this experiment in this video pretty much sums it up about how it works you get and idea of how it works .In the earths core there is magnetic properties that allow their technology to interact with it in such a way where they can float and fly at incredible speeds . they are really smart have figured out how to basically use up every element of a planet to their advantage where we only use certain things they study it all they are really way far advanced then us and if they ever decided to to come down and start some shit we're fucked HA!
+JAY OH Yes, I have an idea for the beginnings of a way to do this (using our antiquated technology) but not the fine tuning yet. All you do is go outside the magnetosphere in a spacecraft with an empty chamber containing a large enough superconductor). Then once in the zero field, fill the chamber with liquid helium & permanently seal it, this will begin the superconductor currents going & keep them permanently flowing. Then bring the vehicle back into the magnetosphere - this will take some force initially but this is where I'm left to wonder if the vehicle will just hang on a strong enough "flux line" & slide north & south like a bead on an abacus (like the Meissner Effect has shown us), or will there be more control once you're inside the actual field whereby perhaps all you'll need now are dynamic electromagnetic controls of various strengths, polarities, positions etc. I'd actually appreciate anyone's feedback on this coz I'm sorta stuck about there at the moment (not being a billionaire & all)...
Mario Basiola In fact it doesn't lose mass, so is going to weight the same, what makes it fall slower is the Force that is created while the magnet is passing through.
***** And the fact that is making a current, isn t this the principle of dynamic breaking? Where the energy of breaking is transformed back into potential energy (recharging the battery)
as it said it induces voltage in the copper wire ..which in turn produces current which creates its magnetic field whic opposes the original magnetic field of the magnet....all these concepts are the basic of all electrical generators and motors ....so u can say its biggest practical application would be ELECTRICITY itself ...thats a huge one:)
Rick Jam esBitch Make the tube rotate so that the magnet is constantly falling. You could try using magnetism to make it rotate as well, or even use the power generated.
***** have one that spins with the tube 1.5mt long 200mm circumference?, attached to a tall arm, with rotary motor, attached to the tube. instead of copper pipe, it could be made from magnet as well as being same charge so they repel the bigger, center magnet. close off both ends of the magnet tube with magnet caps, same rule applies (not sure if you'll be able to get them on lol) and well then we let inertia take its place?
looks cool when you rotate the pipe around the magnet. someone should make a device that rotates the pipe mechanically with the magnet floating in the center so i can sit back and marvel :)
When a magnetic field is changing, it can excite electrons in the materials around it. With metals (even ones that aren't ferromagnetic) it can generate currents in the materials around it (like how turbines work). Unlike with turbines, the current has nowhere to go so it turns into little vortexes of smaller currents called Eddy Currents As the magnet's speed increases, it creates more of these eddy currents. The swirling currents create temporary magnetic fields which slow the magnet.
When the magnet induces a current, do you get some kind of electric shock when you touch the tube? I mean like a snap when you touch something metallic after you walked over a carpet? Because at 01:18 he let it suddenly fell like it hit him?
i would think so. the force keeping the magnet from fall at normal speed must come from somewhere, and it's obviously the copper pipe.so the magnet pushes down on the copper pipe, hence making the copper pipe heavier to lift.
Left out the other part of my comment* Machining/manufacturing the cylinder costs money as well. The $7 price tag is a BASE price for copper. Assuming you're getting this through a supplier, unless know someone in a foundry, you'll be paying a higher amount than the base $7 through overhead costs, etc. A solid 2'' ball of copper is already expensive unless you get a thick sphere of copper.
I love this sooooo much. well this users b/f. i have no words to describe it. its just beautiful. thank you for showing me this. and with nitrogen. brilliant
It is because of attitudes like the one you are displaying that we stopped going to the moon. This is something special and should be treated like it is; if for nothing else then the hope it will inspire a future generation of scientists and free thinkers.
Yes, I have the same Magnet type but 22mm diameter and droping through a 25mm inside dia pipe you get the same effect, only not quite as dramatic as with this serous Magnet and heavy wall copper tube. Cheers from John.
yes, actually, he's probably making a pretty decent charge. however, because he's constantly holding onto the copper, it's just flowing out of him into the ground.
so guys, I have a question: If I wear a Neodymium magnet jacket, when a bullet comes to me, does the magnet slow its speed? or deflect its trajectory? possible??
Seems a little bit SF, but here's my question : It it possible to build a car with propulsion of this kind of magnets? I mean, he switch the tube up and down and the magnet stay on centre. Is this the begining of levitating cars?
what would happen if you got a thick copper tube like this and bent it into a closed loop/donut shape with the magnet inside would there be any reason for the magnet to stop (i know, thermodynamics blah blah) but i cant think of a reason why it would. can someone more enlightened explain how that couldnt be used as a perpetual motion machine by taking the charge the magnet creates by falling through the tube.
Yes, there is a voltage, but it is slightly hard to define generally (the moving magnet makes the electric field nonconservative so there is no potential function ie voltage). However, if we define voltage by the change in kinetic energy per unit charge a particle would experience if it followed the loop, it does make a voltage, which is fairly simple to calculate and measure (put two ends of a voltmeter on opposite ends of a diameter through the tube, and that'll be half the voltage change).
Imagine wearing a suit of that stuff and falling through a copper tunnel, probably wouldn't work too well due to the added weight of yourself and probably some other factors but would still be pretty neat.
If you place the copper pipe on a scale and drop in the magnet will the weight increase as the magnet floats down the pipe? This may be a simple question but its bugging me somebody please reply!
does the weight increase when the magnet is placed inside the copper pipe. so does it feel heavier when you hold the pipe up with the magnet inside, even though the magnet is descending from the space inside?
i would like to know what happens with the magnet's weight when it's going through the copper pipe. Do you feel the weight increase, in the copper pipe, just by holding it?
As a teenage I had thought that if you took a hollow cube made of magnets and put a solid cubed magnet inside and sealed it, the inner cube would hover in place. I believe I am wrong and instead it would start rotating. But this confirms that it wouldn't simply drop to one side or another. Maybe I missed my calling.
YEAH, SCIENCE!!!!!
fandingus what are you doing here of all places?

That is really amazing , thanks for the cool video .
quick question:
Does the pipe gets heavier with the magnet in it ????

no

It's the edi currents in copper slowing it down, because the magnet is so strong

Question: Does the copper cylinder weigh more as the magnet is passing thru it?
Great question! I should think so....
Mario Basiola Let's conduct an experiment for it :3
***** Thanks. I should think so too, but not really sure. Would be crazy if the weight is the same.
Energy is conserved by lenz's law you moron
Mario Basiola In fact it doesn't lose mass, so is going to weight the same, what makes it fall slower is the Force that is created while the magnet is passing through.
Amazing! The magnetic force slows down the rate of fall.
Does this have a real life application?
Damping motion would probably be it's best application. Looks like it can also be used on MAGLEV trains, perhaps.

Yes, but what happens when you slide copper through a magnet tube? Other than electricity being produced...
As in other cases too, the background music makes it more impressive.
0:38. done. it's done. you broke gravity. good job.
what if you stuck the pipe on a turntable so it was always in motion. The magnent would stay floating forever?

However, if we define voltage by the change in kinetic energy per unit charge a particle would experience if it followed the loop, it does make a voltage, which is fairly simple to calculate and measure (put two ends of a voltmeter on opposite ends of a diameter through the tube, and that'll be half the voltage change).
It would be great to see, if the magnet would come down much slower when the copper is immersed in liquid nitrogen.
..the right hand rule of electrical engineering...
What would happen if you threw it from the bottom up into the pipe?
Awesome video man
Its actually working like a heavily loaded or shorted out generator
Magnets. How do they work?
DAS EPICK! That's how the Hendo hoverboard was made. And das also why the Hendo hoverboard can only hover over copper
can you give the descriptions of the piping and magnet? or links or directions as to how to get them?
Imagine wearing a suit of that stuff and falling through a copper tunnel, probably wouldn't work too well due to the added weight of yourself and probably some other factors but would still be pretty neat.
Great, you broke physics, way to go
If you place the copper pipe on a scale and drop in the magnet will the weight increase as the magnet floats down the pipe? This may be a simple question but its bugging me somebody please reply!
can the magnet be suspended in the air with added copper material on the base? just curious
does the weight increase when the magnet is placed inside the copper pipe. so does it feel heavier when you hold the pipe up with the magnet inside, even though the magnet is descending from the space inside?
i would like to know what happens with the magnet's weight when it's going through the copper pipe. Do you feel the weight increase, in the copper pipe, just by holding it?
What's the name of the song in the background? Sounds very hypnotic.
Holy crap, where did you get that massive magnet?? Keep that thing away from grandma's pacemaker!
As a teenage I had thought that if you took a hollow cube made of magnets and put a solid cubed magnet inside and sealed it, the inner cube would hover in place. I believe I am wrong and instead it would start rotating. But this confirms that it wouldn't simply drop to one side or another. Maybe I missed my calling.
What if the magnet was set to spin in a copper cube?
***** The spinning appears to just keep it centered in the pipe. Watch again from 1:17. He doesn't spin it.
What happens if we do this experiment over a weight scale?
The scale will sense the magnet before the magnet hit the scale...? or just nothing?
