@@shrujanamsyama9940 why are you telling me about equipment at my work that I personally use? It’s not an electromagnet, it’s called a permanent magnetic lifter and has no power feed. Ours can lift up to 1000kg but bigger models exist.

Father a machinist, on a large piece of equipment there was a large plate and a handle. I learned about the magnet and I how I could turn on and off. I never learned how it worked. Thanks so much. I remember asking teacher at school, but they did not even understand question. Father, was excellent machinist but he admitted he did not know. Said he used it to hold metal still, so he could cut, grind, drill etc.
@@cheesecakelasagnaTo me, at least, it's the difference between engineering and science: How to do it vs What is happening. And the "Why do it" is simply philosophy.
Bro I just realized the coins he used for that magnet are worth so much and are in perfect condition! (Im a coin collector!) keep ‘em in mind that they are valueable
My friend brought one of these to school once. He got it stuck high up on a metal doorframe where he couldn't reach it to turn it off, so he jumped and grabbed it, using his own body weight to tear it off. Well, not only did the magnet come off, but so did some of the paint from the doorframe.
The latex paint has poor adhesion to begin with. The magnet pressed against the frame so hard it caused the latex paint to adhere to the magnet (like masking tape). If you get your friend to try the same thing with an Oil Base Enamel coated surface (like an antique railing) the magnet will pull away clean
I remember a company possibly I don't know... 10 plus years ago creating magnets like this with complex designs for all sorts of application. Seen it actually on History or Discovery. So you know it is old. They made it sound revolutionary, but people are saying this tech has been around for a while. So I don't know what gives. Maybe it had to do with the manufacturing process or the complexity of the magnetic fields. They did make a big deal about both. It was mainly about making locks.
Without watching the whole video I'm gonna guess there are two magnets and you simply rotate them so the interference pattern is either constructive or destructive. Nailed it.
@mygaza Constructive Interference: The forces of the magnets pointed in the same direction combine to exert greater magnetic force. The magnetic contraption is "on". Destructive Interference: The forces of the magnets pointed in opposite directions (the push and pull) weaken eachother-- in this case, effectively cancelling out the forces. The magnetic contraption is "off".

We use rare earth magnets with a similar lever switch for our cordless magbase drills.

I have two of them holding a power strip (inspired by Adam Savage) and it's amazing that this power strip holds extremely well on any (ferrous) metal surface and if I want to move it, I just turn the handles on the magnets. Genius design.
At my HVAC company, we have one of these attached to a handle and wheels. We push it around the parking lot to pick up loose screws and sharp bits of cut sheet metal. The off switch is used when we empty it into the trash can.

The ones I’ve seen actually put a short between the two poles. These types have a little rotary switch and you just turn it 90 degrees. Prob doesn’t “turn off” good as this one but they will turn on and hold hundreds of pounds and turn off and easy to lift off the steel table again.
NASA developed magnetic "gravity" boots way back in the day that confused the hell out of people as they switched on and off with every step. Alot of research on mangnets has been done focusing on shape/geometry of the magnet as well geometry of magnet placement to direct/redirect manetic field lines where wanted/intended. One form is a gate/valve, pass/no pass configuration. These are NOT EM magnets, but the same principles should appliy there. Its just easier to turn off current if you have the power.
Fascinating to consider how it doesn’t take force to turn the magnet off, despite it resulting in the metal bar leaving a magnetic potential well. I think it’s because the two halves are more stable in the “off” configuration, which offsets the force needed to pull the metal bar away? It’d be interesting to know if turning the magnet on is difficult (with no object attached)
You can watch the original video to see him turning it on, he does so with a 3 finger grip and it doesn't seem to be much work. So I'm not sure that either config is "more stable" my guess would be that they're equally stable and that the offset comes from the unique interaction between the off configuration and the steel side-walls.

Turning the magnets require a force like trying to put 2 magnets close and then pulling them apart, is not a huge force because the magnets are small and the device probably offers you a mechanical advantage like gears or smith also altho it can hold the bar it can't lift it and the small pieces barely have any potential energy

Worked with some industrial maglocs not much bigger than that, that could pick up 1 ton steel plates. At first I didn't think they would work. Used a 50 ton construction crane to move bridge bearing plates on top of the concrete piers. After working with them, it was apparent that your fingers had to be clear before engagement, or you could lose it. Very strong, surprisingly strong, scary strong.
In a machining shop I used to work at we used these attached to winches that were connected to rail systems on the ceiling so you could lift up a 1000 lb bar of steel and easily carry it anywhere in the building. Super useful devices.
The magnets in the work breakroom are always like this no matter where you work, except they never turn off. They kinda make you feel like everything’s connected. Like you never even left your first job, in retail…
I used a quite a few different types of those mag switches at work, its like having a 3rd hand. Very helpful and easy to clean the metal shavings off. Definitely something every fab guy needs
I allways wondered how this works in my company at the crane... never thought its that simple... thank you for your videos you have a huge impact on my/the worlds education in physics and on general education
Yea what I figured, magnet on the other side polarizes the field and essentially “steals” it. Probably not using “polarize” correctly but it’s what made sense in my head
thinking the same, it all depends on how much force it takes to turn the magnets. If it's less than the force difference between on and off it could work, but if it did much cleverer people than you or I would have made the machine by now surely/sadly
Even if perpetual motion is reacheable, it can't be motor, because in order to extract energy from the system, it must produce even more than it needs.
It is not reachable. The limitations of our own earths atmosphere limit us. You can technicalky get close/extremely efficient, but never perpetual. If it was fact, that something could/can/might have the ability to do so , then itd be common knowledge, as well as incredibky dramatic; referring to the fabric of human existence and its several "quirks" . ,lol. peace
I love the fact that I watched how it was opperated before the explaination. and I said this exact same thing (I have a slightly above average understanding of magnets, not enough to have just known this right away, but I guessed. and I'm proud of myself)
I have a tiny one of these on the machine I run at work it's used to hold some spray nozels that are removed when maintenancing my machine so the magnet makes them super easy to detach.
I had a question, So as the Magnets are on top of each other, So that means that their Magnetic Fields are not completely overlapping as they are not in the same location so there must be some amount of Magnetic Field still working at some distance, Is my analogy correct?
I think the diagram showed that the magnets are next to each other N at one end and S at the other when the magnet is "on", and alternating N-S-N-S when the center cylinder is rotated and the magnet is off.
@@pulaski1 The magnets might be next to each other but they are not phasing through each other thus not being located in the Same Location, The Magnetic Fields travels from one pole to the other and the Opposing Directions of the Poles cancels each of the magnet's magnetic fields out but as the magnets are not perfectly within each other some magnetic field could be left not cancelled, that was my question
We use big ass versions of these with a forklift for picking up sheet metal. Works great!

this is like flowers not wanting to grow if the dirt is not perfect fit for them
„i‘m facing the wrong direction, now i don’t wanna work anymore!“
“Wow I never knew a magnet could hold up this large piece of steel above our heads!” Slips on switch* “oh shi-“
You sir are one step forward to perpetual motion motors!
thinking the same, it all depends on how much force it takes to turn the magnets. If it's less than the force difference between on and off it could work, but if it did much cleverer people than you or I would have made the machine by now surely/sadly
Even if perpetual motion is reacheable, it can't be motor, because in order to extract energy from the system, it must produce even more than it needs.
It is not reachable. The limitations of our own earths atmosphere limit us. You can technicalky get close/extremely efficient, but never perpetual. If it was fact, that something could/can/might have the ability to do so , then itd be common knowledge, as well as incredibky dramatic; referring to the fabric of human existence and its several "quirks" . ,lol. peace
I've always wondered how this thing works. Thank you for the thorough explanation.
I love the fact that I watched how it was opperated before the explaination. and I said this exact same thing (I have a slightly above average understanding of magnets, not enough to have just known this right away, but I guessed. and I'm proud of myself)
So that's where My Spike went, give it!!!
MiM testers getting flashbacks to attaching powerboxes to the servers.
I have a tiny one of these on the machine I run at work it's used to hold some spray nozels that are removed when maintenancing my machine so the magnet makes them super easy to detach.
magneto went silent after professor x found out this trick
I work at the place that designed those. We don’t sell the mag switch version now because we have improved on the design
I had a question, So as the Magnets are on top of each other, So that means that their Magnetic Fields are not completely overlapping as they are not in the same location so there must be some amount of Magnetic Field still working at some distance, Is my analogy correct?
I think so too
maybe the magnet on top is a bit stronger to compensate?
@@muhammadijaz5268 But than that would make the Stronger Magnet exert a Magnetic Field as the waker magnet can not fully cancel it
I think the diagram showed that the magnets are next to each other N at one end and S at the other when the magnet is "on", and alternating N-S-N-S when the center cylinder is rotated and the magnet is off.
@@pulaski1 The magnets might be next to each other but they are not phasing through each other thus not being located in the Same Location, The Magnetic Fields travels from one pole to the other and the Opposing Directions of the Poles cancels each of the magnet's magnetic fields out but as the magnets are not perfectly within each other some magnetic field could be left not cancelled, that was my question
We need this kinda thing in a magnet broom
This needs to be adopted by magnet fishing equipment
BROS GOT STEEL PENNIES 🗣️💯🔥❗❗
I’ve got a dial indicator with a toggleable permanent magnet and I always wondered how it works
What’s crazy is how different Starrett does their bases. Same principles but very different than Noga or Mitutoyo
