    A few decades ago at high school, a science teacher demonstrated this. He first used a hulking great coil on the iron core about 20cm (8”) long, and shot an aluminium (Aluminum) egg ring about 1m (3.2’) into the air. He then put a 2.5 (1”) coil on the core, greatly reduced the power, and shot the ring almost to the ceiling. He then explained the large coil only had 50 windings of large diameter wire, wile the small one was 5000 of very fine wire. He then went on to tell is about a different teacher unwittingly thinking the small coil meant less power, and shot an egg ring through a canite ceiling tile, layer of insulation, and dented the galvanised steel roof panel. As soon as he turned on the power, the ring appeared to instantly disappear with a slight ping sound, and a moment later dust from the ceiling hit the table. If anyone had been leaning over the coil, they could have been seriously injured, or dead. Great fun for school kids.

    @kloppertje 3 роки тому +54

    If you discharge a capacitor bank through the coil it is way more fun. The step voltage applied also gives a change in current (like AC current does), inducing eddy currents in the ring. You can go very very fast this way.
    Addition: at some point the iron core of the ring launcher will saturate, if currents get sufficiently high. I don't know if it would be good to have the core in it or not at this stage, would need to do some research. Anyways, after saturation, the core will behave like air.
    With an air core inductor, there is no saturation and no limit to magnetic field strength. The limit is how much current (or rather, change of current over time?) you can put into the coil. With a high voltage capacitor bank, you should be able to put >1000A in there. I think the upper limit of this technology can be stretched a lot, at some point the main challenges are a) finding a good switch and b) not evaporating the coil. At that point, you'll be at supersonic speeds :).
    There are some examples on youtube, e.g. ua-cam.com/video/0BjBaRynFGQ/v-deo.html
    Did some experiments myself; stopped posting on youtube as it's simply too dangerous ;). There are many dents in the ceiling of my house. So, I take zero responsibility, don't do this yourself.

      They still do, if you monitored the temperature of the ring you would see it increase. However, when the ring is split, there just isn't any closed path that passes around the axis, and since the total force on the ring due to field and induced (eddy) currents is given by integral of [i×B] in dV and B can be assumed approximately uniform in every amount of time, B comes out of the integral and you just integrate vector i. But since all current loop must be closed and they don't complete a circle round the ring, they must close "coming back", and so the force is identically zero. An instance of macroscopic influence of topology

    In electrical engineering, if you have single core cables entering switchgear, for example parallel single core 240mm2 three phase line conductors (which might be about 2000A three phase) always slot the glandplate between the conductors and cover with paxoline, to prevent eddy currents. If not, you’re in trouble. Or use an aluminium (non-ferrous) glandplate.

    My favorite thing is to take a small round magnet and drop it down a piece of copper tube. The tube and magnet have to be sized to each other, as in the magnet is just small enough to slide down the tube without getting stuck. The eddy currents induced by the falling magnet oppose gravity and the magnet falls slowly through the tube.

    Isn't this like the basis for why aluminium discs are being fitted onto wheels. You, like, introduce a changing magnetic field and the induced emf causes the discs to move with the magnet relative to the magnets observable rotation to the aluminium discs, thus causing them to be slowed down by magnetism even though they aren't even magnetic at all.
