- The Gauss cannon uses magnetic or electromagnetic acceleration to launch metal projectiles at very high speeds. In this video I used Supermagnete magnets to get the acceleration of a sphere or a nail as a projectile.

I love how you couldn't just pull the magnets apart. You needed to use big ass wooden blocks. Those magnets are not fucking around.
You absolutely could separate them by hand, but they'd promptly separate your hand from your body (or at least crush your bones) if you hesitate
He uses that for all his magnets and he has some pretty big ass magnets. Even that small they aren't fucking around
The web site in the description has a pretty serious tool for separating these. Doesn't seem like a bad idea at all, considering how many times I've pinched my fingers with much smaller ones.
We can call them NFA™ magnets
Welders will us magnets like these when fabricating. As a 'joke' they'll say, "Catch." Then toss of a couple of these type of magnets (one at a time) to some new grunt who doesn't have their gloves on. If they're not paying attention or just flag out don't know the strength of them, when they catch the second one they'll get the shit pinched out of them.

This guy: Magnetic Rail gun that shoots nails
In order to make a worthwhile railgun using permanent magnets (like this one), you'd need a base much longer than shown here, perhaps the length of a common bus, maybe even two busses, and I'm still not sure if you could get enough kinetic acceleration out of something like that before the fairly brittle magnets shatter from the high impact shock, military gauss weapons (still in developmental phase) use electromagnets for a reason
hmmmm... really?? i dnt think that made any sense
@@mariemacfhionghuin11 Not to mention the reloading is skipped in the video - which is to go across the entire thing to move the metal-balls back into place.
I don't know if you figured out why it is working. If not, here is an explanation: The starting point of the balls is farther away from the magnet than the position where they arrive. So every ball goes from a higher energy level to a lower one and the differences add up and manifest as kinetic energy at the end. So this is again not energy from nothing, after every shot you need to arrange all the balls back, in fact pulling up the slingshot.
Yes, it is energy from nothing, the negative nothing that is, the Aether, after all, where is the energy come from in connect to magnet? It is high parallel polar density which mass is a low parallel polar density so it cancels it out so we don't feel it, but iron close to magnet does. Magnet to magnet too.
@@khaliffoster3777 No. Nothing like that. Sorry.
@@thepetyo Ok, what ya mean?? Ya didn't explain it, so explain it?
@@khaliffoster3777 To answer for @thepetyo: You are just throwing around words which you have picked up and obviously don't understand. Let us start with the Aether, which was proven to be non-existent more than a century ago. The last sentence was gibberish so I didn't even get what you meant exactly. However, not feeling magnetic forces has nothing to do with things cancelling out, but simply being composed of substances that show no ferromagnetic and only weak paramagnetic properties. The existence of these properties has to do with the electron configurations (more precisely the spins) of the respective substance.
@@greatgrumble Well, then you don't understand those configurations as you put it is connected to Aether since the configuration is like a puzzle, that is a certain letter, and certain group letter, in connection to another certain letter and group letters, so the individual letter that is A, the group letters that is A-B, so it has a certain process so that is polar density, so ya know what is polar?? There are levels of polar which one side is a high amount of sameness to another side that is different, so both + and -, so there is low polar to high polar, so the higher polar, the higher energy it will produce, the less cancel out, so the current which is connect to cancel out that is polar density is much lower which we can see and feel the current in certain rotation, so for example, the higher current of copper that has certain spin will the electricity come out, so do other materials, so it depends on within so it is like a puzzle that you figure it out with math, so certain something will lead to that something, so it is not throwing words that I don't understand, it is more like you don't understand so you are shallow in understanding which you assume you have deep understanding more than me, which you don't. Ya know about code or morse code?? The point materials have certain like a code within to lead to something that is external which you see as that something. So, basically, it is a 3D puzzle or 3D code. Instead of 2D code.

@@MagneticGamesIT Question: Is there a Null Point at which additional magnets and "Newton's Cradle"-type arrays either cease to add velocity or just self-destruct? Could I build one of those with 100 arrays (like yours), and have a super-fast projectile at the end?
@@crustycurmudgeon2182 It would reach equilibrium with drag from the air and board eventually. Without drag, it can continue accelerating till the magnets shatter. Similar to objects falling onto a planet with atmospheric drag and without atmospheric drag
@@romankalinchuk2750 Thank you for that! So, my little "thought experiment"-- no, wait: "pondering excursion"-- had already assumed drag forces degrading accumulated velocity (and, besides that, at some point, the little balls just launching off the board). Was just kind of wondering if Magnetic Games had worked out at what point this "magnetically enhanced" kinetic energy (for lack of a better term in my woeful ignorance of physics) would kind of play-out. If each "array", as I called them, adds velocity to the kinetic energy it was given, where does it fail? Obviously no perfect means to test this (even if everything were contained within an evacuated tube, removing air drag, the little balls would start caroming of the sides of the tube at some point, losing energy). Just pondering...
@@crustycurmudgeon2182
Additional segments stop helping when they can't transmit force through the 'Newton's Cradle' bit, if your magnet (or anything really) deforms, it's absorbing energy.
Oh, it also breaks when the projectile speed gets high enough that a slightly off-center launch gets it off the track instead of into the back of the next segment.
There's much better ways to make something go fast though. This video's contraption requires a reset every shot, and doesn't add that much speed. The issue is the use of permanent magnets. Those will only pull iron stuff towards them. Not push it. So whenever a moving ball has a magnet behind it, it's losing energy and feeling a pull backwards. The only reason this thing works at all is that the 'newton's cradle' part transmits the force from a ball that hits the magnet, to one that starts much further away from it, where the pull is weaker. That also means you need to reset it every shot because each 'segment' breaks when there's 1 less ball behind the magnet than in front of it.
But. if you copy monorails and use electromagnets you can make an actual Gauss rifle (aka the coilgun). If you use a coil of wire, it acts like a magnet as long as there's current traveling through it, and you can swap the poles by reversing the direction of the current. If you use a permanent magnet for a projectile, and shut off each coil as the projectile passes through, you're always pulling it towards the end of the thing, never towards the beginning. Heck, if you can swap the current so you push the projectile once it's passed, you could get twice the work out of each coil!
Of course, regular guns are way more compact, portable, durable, cheap, etc. Which is why militaries use those instead of stuff powered by electricity and magnetism, but these are fun and don't explode (unless you work with a LOT of power and something goes very wrong).

I just watched that movie lmao
I'm a simple man
I see the word cannon, i click
What is interesting is how a very low amount of energy input, ...a slow-rolling ball bearing, is of course "accelerated" once it reaches the first magnetic field, and then the following "actions" are amplified to "release" the equivalent masses in each ball bearing group. The slow-mo does show the one ball behind the launched ball does move a little but the magnetism pulls is back. ------ Quite interesting on this very small scale!!

@@stewartrun well I’m sure the us military would sink a bunch of money into finding ways to make really strong magnets really cheaply

@@tale7955 and it can only shoot a couple times at full power before the barrel needs replaced.
Rail guns and Coil guns are a thing though...
@@happyjohn354 yes, I’m saying that I want to be part of the world where handheld rail guns/coil guns are the default, instead of explosive based
What's the physical theory behind this effect?
Looks like just newtons cradle with an offcenter magnet. The incoming ball is accelerated more due to the closeness of the magnet than the outgoing ball is decelerated from it, so the speed adds up.
@@CarrotCakeMake wouldn't the two forces stay in equilibrium? Magnetic field is even after all, no?
@@ClickLikeAndSubscribe No, the magnet is offcenter, biased towards the incoming ball bearing. There is going to be a little more to it, like it's the electrons getting magneted but it's the nucleuses getting cradled.
If anyone is wondering *why* the final ball shoots out faster than the input ball is put in, it has to do with the distance of each of the balls to the magnet in the chain reaction:
The input ball has a direct path to the magnet; it is allowed to accelerate all the way up until it touches the magnet, at which point it transfers its kinetic energy through the magnet + balls into the last one. The last ball that gains the energy, however, is held two ball lengths away, which means that the magnet is exerting a weaker force on it than the force the initial ball experiences. This means that less of the kinetic energy gained from the magnetic force pulling on the first ball is lost by the second ball, giving it a faster escape speed.
Why isn't this free energy? Well, each step of the 'cannon' you are trading a ball farther away from the magnet for a ball touching the magnet; You are losing more magnetic potential energy from the first ball than you gain from ejecting the output ball in exchange for kinetic energy. To reset the cannon, you will be expending as much/more energy moving the input ball back away from the magnet as you gained in kinetic energy firing it.
Exact, I wondered the same thing. Because I am not at all convinced by the perpetual movement, Sonething sounds strange somewhere... From where is coming the gain of energy???
My 29 year old son built magnetic accelerator cannon when he was 13, using some large capacitors, car batteries copper wire from a bass speaker and an aluminum tube from a blowgun. He could launch BBs so fast that the copper coating would strip off of them, and they would fire through the 6 inch thick outer wall of the house. Color me impressed.

Next on: how to make magnetic nail chaingun.
Hey Heavy, since you're a sentry (as your name suggests), call Engi. He'll probably be glad to help out!
The ball only accelerates between 2-magnet section and 3-magnet section because there's magnetic strength difference, between all other sections the ball doesn't accelerate, and after the last section it actually slows down because there's nothing pulling on the other side. To reload the gun you must pull back all the balls, which takes exactly as much energy as was given to the projectile in the first place (actually slightly more). Mechanically this is a complicated magnetic version of a simple spring gun.
So what you’re saying is, “no more nuclear weapons, Magnet Cannons!!!”
At the end, wouldn't you call that a... nail gun ;)
First Law of Thermodynamics has left the chat. (I'm sure there's an explanation for this, but it sure seems like the energy is coming from nowhere!)
it like a bow, a man pull the arrow an bend the bow, give energy for the system.
in this case, a man pull a sphere on right position spend some energy to give the energy.
@@pagliaccio5082 I understand that part, but then there's the sort of Newton's Cradle bit, which I assume further accelerates the balls? Unclear on how that works, it looks like the same energy of the ball going toward the magnet would be lost again in the next ball going away.
@@quillmaurer6563 To understand where the energy comes from, you need to look at the potential energy of the system. Specifically, what matters is the energy it takes to move a ball infinitely far away (0 energy) from a certain position (more energy). The ball that comes in ends up right next to the magnet, so it has a lot of energy. But the ball that's shot away has two balls as spacers, so the energy needed to tear it loose is much lower. All that spare energy goes into giving it speed.
@@tykjpelk Ah, that explains it - hadn't noticed that.
@@tykjpelk Ah yes, potential energy. I personally have lots of potential energy but never expend it

This be a gauss cannon not a railgun. There is a big difference.
Research and planning that you never see in the final video. thats how.
Took me a couple minutes to figure out how that worked. Most descriptions of Gauss projectile launchers use electromagnets for a reason though. I'd not call this a Gauss cannon, it's WAY too slow.
The issue is the permanent magnets, they pull back on the ball in front of them just like the magnets in front pull on the ball behind them. The only reason this contraption adds any speed at all is the ball at the end of each segment is farther from the magnets than the point the ball impacts the magnet. The 2nd 'shot' from this thing will be slower than the first and the 3rd won't fire at all unless you reset the position of everything.
"Real" Gauss weapons use electromagnets (or wire coils) and magnetic projectiles to act like a monorail. By swapping the poles of the electromagnet as the projectile passes the force is always directed in the same direction, forwards, instead of this constant pulling robbing you of speed whenever there's a magnet behind you.
"We need tougher magnet laws"!!! just wait. someone gonna say it soon enough. . . .
It doesn't seem any faster by having more.

Magnetic
@@romankalinchuk2750 Yes.....I know it's magnetic. That wasn't the question.
@@peterembranch5797 Sure sounds like thats the question, unless you are expecting the answer to be magic
@@romankalinchuk2750 Nope, that's not what I expect the answer to be.
@@peterembranch5797 If you consider a single 'stage' (2 magnets and their associated balls): before the shot, you have 3 steel balls on the same side of the magnets. So the 3rd ball is relatively far from the magnets. The magnetic potential energy is relatively high.
After the shot, you still have 3 balls around the magnets. But now 2 balls are touching the magnets, and the 3rd one is relatively close. Overall, the balls are closer to the magnets than before: the magnetic potential energy is lower.
That difference of potential energy has been transferred to the ball that has left the 'stage'.
Now to explain that energy transfer we can consider the forces applied on the balls: the incoming ball will be drawn strongly by the magnets up to contact. The outgoing ball, however, starts it course further away from the magnet, so it will suffer a lower 'retaining' force from the magnets. Thus the linear momentum transferred between the balls is increased in the process.
So basically the energy comes from the hands of the operator who has placed the balls in the first place. And who will have to replace them to reload. Just like a crossbow, but using magnetic force instead of elastic force.
*Gauss musket*
There, I fixed it
The magnets are the initial glue with each stage amplifying the momentum carrier of previous. This is kinetic energy transfer. Beryllium, tho non magnetic, is even more inelastic than tool steel bearings and is less dense, thus as a projectile should leave the "barrel" noticeably faster. Copper balls would be repelled by those magnets if moving (or vice versa), which might make a neat experiment.

is it only me or it just looks satisfying when an object is being lunched without a direct contact
I was beginning to wonder if you could do this with electromagnetism to make it even stronger then realized I was talking about a railgun lol
This actually isn't the same as a Gauss cannon. Similiar but not the same. A Gauss cannon has magnets/electromagnets around the barrel and along it's full length. Which means it takes this concept and further increases the ability because the initial projectile never hits anything and never stops throughout it's journey through the barrel. Which means it is able to be sped up many times faster than the speed of sound before it ever leaves the barrel.

Yeah. This is something like a destructive hybrid. The impact on the magnets (material stress) over time would destroy this "gun" but it's cool to watch anyway.
We need to patent Mag-guns. Just imagine more powerful magnets, more range for acceleration. You can basically rival that of a rail gun with a hyperbolic death bead.
Holy fuck. That's extraordinary.
Do the magnets become a little less magnetized each time you set it off? I remember hearing once that, if you slam something into a magnet, it scrambles up it magnetic-ness (?) a little bit.
I wonder if you made the magnet balls progressively larger till you got to the nail, if it would increase the force that would send the nail

If you add a latch that pulls all of the balls back into their firing position you’ve just invented a magnet/spring action gauss rifle
Just boys having fun. Bring on the beer and fireworks.
This sounds like a wonderful gadget for the Murder Weapon in another "Murder She Wrote" mystery.
When you set up the gauss rifle, did you do any tuning of the magnets to get the best acceleration?

I’d like this to be made in a circle to be a really oversized heavy mousetrap. By mouse entering trap, pushing ball, getting smoked by the ball at the end,
