    • @coyotedomino
      @coyotedomino 4 роки тому +4

      It’s affected by the magnet because the moving magnetic field produces electric currents in the metal, which in turn create opposing magnetic fields in the metal. It’s the same effect as when you drop a magnet down a copper pipe; the magnet will fall slowly even though the copper is non-magnetic.

    This is likely do to major and minor axial rotation and how much energy is required to stay in each.
    I find it interesting he didn't talk about that fact. The minor axis is unstable and will slowly degrade into the major axis as energy is lost.
    This is why a football that is spinning throw the air perfectly will slowly start to fan out because it no longer has enough energy of rotation to maintain the minor axis.

      If it was shot at a lower frame rate, they would still appear as lines at the lower rate. But this was shot at 60fps. Dropping every other frame breaks up the lines. The frames could be merged and preserve the lines, but that takes a lot more processing power than UA-cam is willing to spend on creating multiple stream rates for every video.

It was as I said pointed on the ends to a round point on each end and bottom and to[ sides were not flat but had a gentle arch. It was polished to a shine. If you spun it, I think it was clockwise, then it would spin for a long time but if you tried to make it spin the other it wouldn’t spin at all. Any idea why? Darn I wish I still had it.
