      First you would need to know how quickly the poles move, then you would need to calculate the differencial of the flux in one random spot on the surface of the earth, i think i have a formula somewhere in my notes.
      Then you would need to find the time it takes for it to change 0.0002-3 mT wich seems to be the precision of the instrument considering the noise.
      Oof too much free time needed
      Edit:
      B(r)= (,u0/4pi) { [3r*(m*r)/r^5] - [m/r³] }
      m is magnetic momentum, investigating further...
      Nvm i can't find m of the earth anywhere and
      I'm not sure it will work becouse it implies that the radius r is much larger than the lenght l of the dipole, and in our case it's just half of it.

    I find it easy to show with fair precision using 1.4"x1/4" cylinder magnets. I place 6 of them end to end, and capture a human hair between the two middle magnets. Suspend that from a doorway with a bit of tape, and the composite "bar" magnet will always find an orientation to magnetic north, including the vertical tilt.

      You wanna tell me that flat-earthers actually use a single-plane compass to prove their hypothesis? While I wouldn't be surprised to hear "yes, really", it doesn't prove anything on the planet's shape - and neither does this video. It just gives a clue, and even if one would took such measurements all around the the world on different latitudes, it still could be "explained" in various fantastic ways.
      That's what actual science is for - to cut down the number of such explanations by making various tests and calculations. In the end of such process we should stay with only one answer holding true to all of such experiments.

    This is why the south end of a compass needle is counterbalanced, heavier than the north side of the needle so that the north end of the needle is not pulled downwards too much, preventing the compass from being able to move freely. The opposite is needed for a compass to work in the Southern Hemisphere. Just a day or two ago I was responding to a flat earther who said that compasses prove the Earth is flat. He knew about the near vertical magnetic field and I did not so I educated myself on how and why compasses work on a globe. That is when I learned about the counterweighted compass needle. I have learned so much from arguing against flat earth conspiracy theorists. As frustrating as it can be, I have learned more about our planet, space, gravity, momentum, scale, astronomy, reasoning, logic and more in just one year of debating them than I ever learned in my 40 years preceding. Finally I realise that flat Earthers are good for something!

Inside their brains are round structures containing molecular sized magnetized iron particles that due to gravity sit at the bottom of these cavities. Just like the demo you used at the end where the compass points vertical at the equator and horizontal at the north pole, these iron particles shift position inside the cavity and their polarized location is processed by their brains to give them latitude.

    There are rod-shaped bacteria which build a little chain of magnets inside themselves. The magnets give them mostly a up-down orientation, so they can efficiently find the sweet-spot oxygen concentration in the sediment/mud they live in. That's useful for them because they are can only survive over a pretty narrow range of oxygen concentrations (too little means no respiration, but too much is toxic).
    Anyways, yeah... Unless you're at near the equator, the Earth's magnetic field is mostly up-down.

    From my understanding, all Magnets pull towards a huge Iron deposit under or near Hudson lake. This is why there is a declination constant when converting Magnetic north vs Grid North/True north. This is from what is was being taught to us in the Military and traveling the world. For example, in Germany the declination constant was somewhere over 20 degrees west but in most of the US you would have anything from a 3 to 7 degrees east. I am no scientist but I know what the maps said in different parts of the world and having to convert magnetic to true or magnetic to grid, these are the values we would have to use, found in the Maps Legend.

      @@shines9290 sara, from my training in the military and my deployments around the globe, the short answer is yes. The declination constant on the east coast of the US has a small value west and the majority of the US has a declination constant of east. So Hudson lake may or may not be the exact location but it's used as the land mark for the average orientee. When hiking with a compass and a map the declination constant is a MUST. Otherwise your grid on your map will roatate without you knowing while the land marks will remain in grid position. And any distance and angle you set for your compass the further you go the further you will be off your target. Even though the north arrow on your map orients everything north.

    Interestingly, we here in the southern hemisphere cannot use a compass designed to be used in the northern hemisphere and vice versa. They are balanced to suit the hemisphere they are to be used in. If you do try to use one of the opposite hemisphere compasses (compii? ;) ) then the needle will hit the casing.

    I have understood that magnetic north is actually in Northern Canada not the North pole which is true north and the magnetic north pole has been moving north and west of the north pole. The teslameter is such a cool device but you've misaligned the globe for magnetic north. I think you'd see better results on the globe if the globe had been adjusted for Magnetic north.

      Ray Kent Actually "soon" means tomorrow or within a few hundred thousand years. That’s because we are over due by 300,000 years plus from their calculations. Just as Yellowstone could go off "soon" they can’t predict when but the patterns suggest we are over due. Some also think it’s happening as we speak with abnormalities, and evidence of a third strong point heading north which could cause the flip. Speculating but there might be more then one magnet at the center of the earth with verifying strength, we don’t know what exactly is there after all.

    You follow in the footsteps of the old vikings and your famous countryman Oersted...
    The vikings are assumed to have sailed in the open seas using an early magnetic compass. Oersted put the science into the magnet business.
    Great visualizations!
    Here is a little memory from my childhood. I had a book, called something like “Young Inventors’ and Experimenters’ Book” that described how some boys showed each other their experiments and built items. Among those experiments was how to magnetize steel rods or needles. Then to verify that indeed it had become magnetized, the bigger rods could be hung from their center point to a thin sewing thread and it would turn to roughly North/South. Careful about the twist of the thread, though. But the smaller needles could be covered with a thin layer of butter and settled carefully on top of a full water barrel, where the surface tension kept it floating and it turned freely to N/S orientation. Guess what - I got one of my mother’s sewing needles and repeated the test. That served to teach me about surface tension in addition to the magnetism. And I can be proud that I also did NOT lose the needle.

    They didn't believe me when i stated that rolling a glass marble on a piece of flat glass would be far more accurate than a carpenters level. After i got the marble and glass out they wondered why i spent so long cleaning it and checking for one without scratches, they didn't believe when i said a tiny scratch or speck of dust can prevent the marble from rolling. I explained that the amount of contact area between a round object and flat one is tangential and that a speck of dust is pretty big compared to that.
    Later i explained that flat glass is a modern invention and that old glass was never as flat and its amazing we as a species could create such flatness on a surface so hard to work with. That made me curious how it was produced and i later researched it.

    Hi, I have a few questions.
    Firstly, I am not advocating for Flat Earth, Helicentric, Geocentric, Concave Earth, Convex Earth, Inner Earth, Infinte Plane, etc etc.
    I was watching a video, Professor Eric Laithwaite: Magnetic River 1975, and it spiked my interest in magnets.
    So if my questions seem basic or nonsensical it is because I know very little about them.
    1. How is _"a compassed balanced in a way that makes it useful for horizontal navigation"_ ?
    2. How does a compass and a dip circle differ, in relation to operation?
    3. When you set up the F71 probe, did you also put a compass next to it to compare them for both for North?
    4. _"It is believed that the molten iron and nickel in the outer part of the Earth's core is generating the magnetic field"_
    This raises many questions, but I will ask just one.
    Are able to demonstrate or explain how this works, especially in relation to the Curie Temperature?
    5. Or maybe two questions - if the molten core is sworling and moving and being affect by the "Coriolis effect" of the earths motion, why does it not produce smaller, more localised magentic fields instead of just one large one? As is demonstrated by the weather.
    6. Isnt using a large magnet in the half globe model just a confirmation bias?
    7. Did you try the compass on the "southern" half of the globe model?
    8. Do you know someone in the Southern hemisphere that can do the same test? Or do you know of a video similar to this one that is performed in the South?
    Thanks in advance.

    • @dylanbiddle123
      @dylanbiddle123 5 років тому

      1. Since the field points downwards at an angle if you're not on the equator, it will tend to pull one side of the needle down more than the other. The compass needle would tend to tilt if it's not balanced to counteract that unequal force.
      2. Since compasses are balanced to keep them level when they are horizontal, the heavy side will pull that end of the needle straight down if held vertically because of gravity. A dip circle is evenly balanced, so it will point at the angle of the magnetic field.
      3. No need to do them side by side, compasses and the F71 probe both work, thus they will give consistent results.
      4. The center of the earth is solid, even though it's hot because of the immense pressure. I don't know for sure, but i would guess that the curie temperature varies based on the pressure as well as temperature.
      5. The core of the earth is solid, thus no swirling. If it was not solid, then there would be no magnetic field.
      6. No, it's a model to demonstrate the principle.
      7. No need, the compass needle would start pulling the other side of the compass needle toward the magnet as you move toward the south pole.
      8. You could go check the governments chart of the main field inclination to get data from points all over the world.

    I'm still wondering how molten metal can be magnetic, as you know the higher the temp in most metals the less magnetic it gets. The reason they are magnetic at all is the orientation of the grain structure in them is locked in a certain position. So if the magnetic field were really generated by flowing magma or a spinning core it would be unbelievably unstable and varying if it functioned at all.

From those you can come up with a density for Earth. You compare the density to the surface materials and seismic data and you can get a picture of how the layers are set out; with lighter materials "floating" on denser ones. From that we can calculate the mass and size of the core and from that we can min what materials it is made of. Something heavy and common; iron and nickle. So while yes, we've never seen it in person, we don't need to.

    I found this example interesting, absolutely. However, when removing the magnetism from our tools, we use heat, a torch. We remove magnetism with heat because heated iron can't be magnetic. Since we've known that for a few hundred years, I wasn't surprised when the "Electric Universe" guys found the cylindrical field, apparently created by the Pedersen current moving through the Earth crust. From what I understand, all of your findings from your measurements are accurate for the cylinder model. The only thing different today, from when I studied it in 1969, is that today we know it isn't a molten core causing the field, it's energy pumped into our crust by our star, which, unfortunately, is dimming and it's electron output has, 1) converted to proton emission, 2) is dimming even as we watch this video.
    While we enter a very powerful cold spell of, probably, 150-years, or more, at which time our star will have created enough atoms of Tritium and Deuterium (isotopes of hydrogen) to begin burning that, again, and our weather will, basically, return to what it was 70 years ago when I started looking at this issue. Apparently, astronomers call this the helium flash, and ice-cores, and tree-rings tell us this cycle happens about every 400-years and on one occasion, I saw it end (the ice) after 56-years and in the worst, it lasted 156-years. That was long ago and the ice was three miles deep over Michigan when that rock landed there making that strange crater. Several other times, ice-dams along the Canada U.S.A. border, caused floods of water (ice-melt) miles deep to rush over the American bad-lands area, 60MPH, creating vortices that scoured out those impressive standing tower formations while the water raced toward Oregon and the ocean. Actually, our evidence indicates it happened, at least, four times.
    Don't worry, it's cyclical and will be normal again one day...and then it will happen again, and again.

    Instead of the flat plate for the spherical magnet you could use an oiled parabolic surface. Set the magnetic sphere on the slope and release. After oscillating in ever decreasing arcs in the dish it should align with the earth's magnetic field at the bottom.

    Acording to measurements the angle is:
    angle = atan(0.0464/-0.0181) = -1.19865 radians or -68.68992º.
    the negative means that the north pole of the instrument is aligned to the north pole of the field

    Color television picture tubes (cathode ray tubes, CRTs) were designed for either northern or southern hemisphere use to minimize the possibility of color impurities in the picture. However, a CRT designed for one hemisphere could be used optimally in the opposite hemisphere by mounting it upside down. Some sets sold in the southern hemisphere were manufactured this way.

    I knew the fields run round the earth top to bottom. This was a great way to demonstrate it. Great job. Maybe add something about the difference between true north and geographic north.

  • @brendafifer8139
    @brendafifer8139 5 років тому

    if you dig a little deeper you also find that map north and magnetic north are in different locations. what we consider to be the north pole is the center axis of earth where as magnetic north is where the magnetic field converges.

    When I was a little kid I asked my dad, Paul Pantone, the inventor of GEET, how to make magnets. He taught me how to attach an antenna to the north terminal of a battery at this relative angle to charge the battery. Have you heard of that? Tried it?
