    People seem to think that using a permanent magnet as the core of an electromagnet will give a stronger electromagnet than using an un-magnetized core. Permanent magnets have a large static field but very little "amplification" of the field from an electromagnet. Their permeability is close to that of air because they are fully saturated by their own magnetization. So, the field you get is pretty much just the sum of that from the permanent magnet and that from the air-core coil. Materials like un-magnetized iron, on the other hand, have a huge permeability, often hundreds or even thousands of times that of air/free space, so they multiply the field generated by the coil by that factor. This only works up to the point where they saturate, though. So, in the end, using a PM as a core just gives you about the same total field as you could get by using an un-magnetized high permeability material for the core, as is normally done in electromagnets.

    • @vylbird8014
      @vylbird8014 7 років тому +2

      At extreme high field strengths though, just about any core material you use is going to saturate early. The most powerful magnet I've made was air cored.

    It's possible you might have gotten more magnetic field with a simple iron core. Iron saturates at abojut 1.6 tesla, whereas the nedinium magnet's flux density is less than that. Getting really high flux densities beyond the magnet material's saturation point is difficult, so best to start with something that has a nigh saturation point (iron)

    @bengriffin4027 7 років тому +5

    Cody, I'm pretty certain the first way you applied current to the coil had the field created going in the same direction as the permanent magnet.
    When you switched the direction of current, such that the coil tried to center concentricly on the magnet, the effect was making the return flux path turn much tighter and stay between the coil and the magnet.
    Consider when you initially applied current to the coil in the original polarity and the coil moved up until it's bottom opening was at the top surface of the magnet; if the fields had been in opposition, that should be the most difficult position to obtain, not the position it comes to rest. The motion indicates the fields were of the same direction.
    You will have to secure the wire well if you wish the fields to be additive.

    • @HeyChickens
      @HeyChickens Рік тому +2

      The two fields will always "add' up so to speak, in the sense of increasing the total amount of magnetic field present. But you are correct; when the magnet tries to center itself, it is because the coil's field is oriented opposite that of the magnet, hence the coil serves to enhance the return flux around the magnet (which is always the opposite polarity of the magnet), and consequently the flux inside the magnet as well. This arrangement adds more flux within the magnet and the coil assembly, but leaves much less flux available outside the assembly. If you can get them to stay together with the same orientation, you will add a lot of additional flux by powering on the coil, effectively creating a larger magnet. However just as is the case with larger magnets, the flux density near the center is usually less than that of a smaller magnet, because the return path is longer. So with polarities opposite you get stronger flux density where he placed the chip. With same polarity you get a much larger magnetic field, but it is not as concentrated.

    +Cody'sLab Cool project. Definitely a thought provoking experiment when trying to visualize physics.
    Actually the reason that the spark jumps repeatedly to make the "bell" @ 9:00 is because of the capacitor you added. Basically, the capacitor is being charged by the battery, and when you short it, all of the current goes through the inductor (coil) and the capacitor is emptied. Next when the magnetic field collapses, it sends the 90 degree phase shift of the capacitor charge back through the system, so double whatever voltage you have the batteries wired for at least was what you were seeing as the brilliant spark. You could achieve this affect with the wire always connected if you had a correctly matched inductor and capacitor. In this case, it looks like the batteries provided so much current that they saturated the circuit and did now allow resonance to occur when the wire was securely attached. Looks to me as if the wire is being pulled towards the terminal by the higher voltage spiked caused by resonance. Then the end of the wire was melted greatly increasing the resistance for the time of the arc. This dampening affect could limit the current into the circuit and allow resonance.

    Yikes man, sometimes you scare me. A few times around 9:30-ish you came very close to having a 100V 600A arc flash in your face, while swinging the ends of those battery cables around near each other. Also, those gloves were probably sufficient for the voltage levels you had on the batteries, but the inductive kickback from that coil was probably a couple kV, making it 'uncomfortable'.

    You've actually demonstrated a VERY useful feature that few people have recognised in the realm of electromagnetic force application ... Bi directional solenoids!
    In a normal solenoid when the steel core is outside of the coil, irrespective of the current direction, the core is always attracted inside the coil.
    Using multiple small neodymium magnets makes it very easy to produce a push/pull solenoid WITHOUT using springs.
    By utilising a non ferromagnetic core (e.g. nylon rod) attached to the end of a stack of neodymium mini magnets then supportive current flow will pull the core into the coil and vice versa it is pushed out. Either end of the core can be used to pull or push clearly.
    BIG advantage of this becomes obvious when considering mechanical locking and interlocking mechanisms as ONLY a pulse of current, not continuous current is required to maintain a stable position (only when the core is horizontal, otherwise gravity puts a natural bias into the system).
    Who'd have thought ... A bistable solenoid that maintains its position WITHOUT power. Useful in power outage situations potentially!

      okay, I didn't realise they let you through that easily. I know someone who has shrapnel in their leg and they have a very hard time going through security, so I assumed you would as well. (wonderful videos by the way)

    • @lockthepope
      @lockthepope 7 років тому +11

      Really just depends on how tight the security is in your country. They once let me through, although something (probably my belt) activated the sensor, without checking me. On contrast, in England they took a folding comb I had with me because "It resembled a knife".

    Interesting. Could you try to measure the coil resistance when warm and cold? see how close it gets to zero.
    Also, are you familiar with podkletnov's claims? spinning super conductor disc with a hole in the middle, agitated by high voltage shock supposedly creates a gravitational disturbance pulse column perpendicular to the spinning disc with significant range.

  • @devillian2
    @devillian2 7 років тому +11

    The way you are holding the terminals of a 120V, ~1000A current potential battery bank almost in your bare hands SO gives me the heebie jeebies ... Specially bringing the contacts so close to each other and with super cool liquids around that make plastic brittle. Your hands were just isolatated from the voltage by thin rubber gloves? IF you SHORTED those terminals, part of the metal contacts would have just evaporated/exploded, potentially damaging the gloves and in a blink and you would have been hanging on to the terminals and couldn't let go cause its DC, thereby slowing burning to death. In the worst scenario. Maybe your body resistance have been high enough for you to just jump away from it but gosh, what a gamble.
    Cody, please short a fully charged battery bank like that out a few times in a controlled way for "educational prorposes" :) I think you don't have enough respect for the amount of power potential you are playing with here. 120Vx1000A = 120.000 Watt (at least for a fraction of a second until the conductors heat up).

    • @moikkis65
      @moikkis65 6 років тому +3

      I don't think 120v dc will do much more thst sting a little if you touch it. The 1000A won't run throught your body with so little voltage.

    • @chrishill601
      @chrishill601 5 років тому

      The human body has roughly 2k ohms. 1 amp is deadly, but that means you need upwards of 1.5V before it gets deadly (under normal conditions, (dry skin, ect...) so it's still better safe than sorry unless you really know what you're doing, but yeah, I wouldn't really be worried about a measly 120V. Probably the worst you'd get would be a numb and pained arm for a few minutes. And, come to think of it, that was AC when that happen to me :))

  • @Mint_drake

    • @Mint_drake

    • @NectarinoMo
      @NectarinoMo 7 років тому

      I'm purely guessing based on my knowledge from watching these videos, but I think the original implant may have been a different story. What he has now probably doesn't have enough mass to even be uncomfortable, pretty sure he would have said so. Looking at 1:45 of the video Magnetic Finger Update; 2 years later
      It's probably the size of a pen ballpoint. I think just slowly moving your hand toward a magnet and stopping when it becomes uncomfortable would be safe, it's surely only going to able to rip out if it starts hurting.

      Jebus Gaming as a general rule, conductors will resist a change in magnetic field. Someone else mentioned Lenz's law and I believe that what the whole principle is based on. When the silver resists the change it magnetic field, an opposite magnetic field is created by the silver and this creates a force due to the interaction between the two fields.

    Cody there is an experiment talked about by the ex head of lockheed skunk works where you tape two strong neodymium magnets together so they are repelling each other then drop them from a high place and they take far longer to fall than an equivalent weight of iron - repelling magnets clamped together fall slow.... how about doing that one?

    • @Paradox3121
      @Paradox3121 7 років тому +35

      That's silly. If the two magnets were taped together, they would not be moving relative to one another while falling, therefore no force would be produced. Any time an object is slowed by a magnetic field, it is moving relative to the object producing the magnetic field.
      I'm guessing the Lockheed guy was a business major in college.
