I'm not so sure of this. Have you heard of Edward Leedskalnin, or his "Perpetual Motion Holder"? The textbooks that I have discussing magnetism do not explain this effect, which you can see an example of here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWSAcMoxITw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWSAcMoxITw
If you can explain this effect with our "current theories", I would love to hear it!
- lisper 9y agoThat's a neat trick, but I see no reason to believe that it's anything other than straightforward electro-magnetism.
- ebcode 9y agoIt is a neat trick! Somehow those pieces of metal are storing a magnetic field like a permanent magnet, but release their "charge" when the field is broken. There's another interesting effect where an electric charge can be pulled from that set-up. Lasersaber demonstrates that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_ssUTRbRRs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_ssUTRbRRs I certainly can't explain it, and I don't think we have an adequate theory that does explain it (yet).
