    Great video. I feel like if I saw that piece somewhere in a museum I wouldn't have given it that much time but with all the explanations, it really comes to life. I can imagine Bache working on it manually in his lab. By the way, Keith agreed for you to hold it but I am not sure he agreed to you walking with it haha. Can't help but think he might have been uneasy with that. But I guess may be after all these years, he has a lot of trust for you now.

  • @HB...
    @HB... Před 3 lety +8

    hm.... I don't think this models intensity at all.
    The side scale would suggest the height correlates to an East - West inclination or deviation (from the north pole, maybe), no?
    That's why the zero line is marked through the whole piece.
    I mean.. there's a very good chance I'm totally wrong, but if it indicated intensity, the piece would have added to it any kind of intensity scale, instead of a east-west one.
    Gorgeous piece nonetheless. I'm glad you are back into the Royal Society!

    • @killerbee.13
      @killerbee.13 Před 3 lety +1

      The scale was marked with numbers with prime marks, which probably mean minutes of arc, or 1/60 of a degree. So you're probably right that it was deflection from the 'true' magnetic north, and very slight deflections at that.

  • @jpe1
    @jpe1 Před 3 lety +2

    As a lifelong resident of the Philadelphia metro area, these days the locals would pronounce the name Girard with the same initial J sound as with “Justice” and the same ending rd sound as with “Ford”
    Perhaps in the 1840’s they would have used the French(?) pronunciation, but the name is common enough to have been anglicized by at least the 1950’s.

    I think that piece shows the amount the magnetic north pole (measured from that spot in Philadelphia) wanders to the west and east during a day, maybe due to the interaction between the sun's and earth's magnetic fields.

    I want to know why the magnetic field of the Earth has a daily cycle. Is there an annual cycle? How does the direction of the field change? How does it change from pace to place? How does it change with elevation?

  • @SuperSampling
    @SuperSampling Před 3 lety +2

    Love how you just walked away with it for a moment :D
    I wonder why it shows this daily periodicity. Is it because the field reacts to the solar wind at noon? If this is the case, I wonder if it is flat during midnight, because the earth is in between the measuring device and the sun.

    So is that modeling what today we would call the Kp Index? The higher the index the greater the likelihood of auroras at lower latitudes. I wonder if the 3D model’s data would correspond to increases in auroral activity. It wasn’t clear if the data were for one year or was the model showing an average of several years.

  • @SchwedensTNT
    @SchwedensTNT Před 3 lety

    This is most likely used to highlight some of the "solar-diurnal variation of the magnetic declination", which has been known for some time..
    The magnetic field is deviated from true north due to the Suns interaction with Earths magnetic field (inducing current in Earths magnetosphere and ionosphere) making the magnetic needle point slightly westwards and slightly eastwards. If one just knows what to search for it is fairly easy to find a number of papers describing this behavior in more details (some more theoretical and some more descriptive work). One paper was published 1860 in the proceedings of the RS by Sir Edward Sabine (doi 10.1098/rspl.1859.0070), a fairly interesting fellow. Perhaps he, or his work, deserves an episode?
    The Earths magnetic field has some daily deviations caused most directly by the Sun (night/day), and some caused by the Moons gravitational tide (on the ionosphere) and some deviations caused by the Suns changing activity during its 11 year cycle... Not to mention local variations (most annoying is when someone passes by close to your magnetometer while carrying some metal).

    • @killerbee.13
      @killerbee.13 Před 3 lety +1

      I don't think that it shows the pole itself moving, just the local magnetic field where the measurements were taken. Considering that it changes cyclically each day it's probably mostly from the solar wind deforming the Earth's magnetic field.

      I don't know for sure, but it could be the solar wind and potentially the moon (its magnetic field is very weak, but it probably contains enough iron and nickel to still drag the field lines a little bit) deforming the Earth's magnetic field as it rotates.
