  • Another original video that I don't think anyone else would make...
    I have collected quite a few standard neodymium magnets, but these ones come with a story I had to tell.
    Available in three grades they are also a great opportunity to test what difference the magnet grade makes. And what if I double the magnet's thickness by combining two of them?
    The Monolith Mk. 3 is available here: sumag.net/monolith-x04
    Thanks to Supermagnete for donating one of them, so I could make this video.

      @@HoursFreeAOLsp you trying to define "manipulate" with the one definition that makes it sound like you are right here is kinda childish, not gonna lie. There are multiple definitions that I know for a fact that you saw when you just googled that and you chose not to copy/paste the secondary description because it proves you wrong. Just as you chose to leave out the fact that he isn't actually manipulating any tools (dials of any sort seeing as how to "manipulate" the tool you would have to be "fine tuning" it.) This guy in no instance does any fine tuning with or any other form of manipulation with these magnets. If he was manipulating them, he would have been changing the variables of the experiments that he was doing, for example: superconducting the magnets or something along those lines to MANIPULATE, and or FINE TUNE the magnets to get a SPECIFIC OUTCOME. He never does anything to the magnets that would alter their physical properties in some sense (like what happens when you manipulate the knob of your car stereo for instance, the knob rotates, and the digits chance, as such you are manipulating the dials) if he did, variables pertaining to the magnets specifically would have been being changed. How could have added a base and produced a static charge to see if the magnets became stronger, then he would have been manipulating them. You copy/pasting a specific definition that you CHOSE, doesn't make you right just because it "sounds" like it when you say it in your head. When you complete the first definition that YOU copy/pasted, it clearly defined the type of manipulation that it is referring to. I'm sure you noticed that though and just choice to manipulate the given situation to try and give yourself a leg up, full proper definition seen below for all you savvy dogs.

    I love how you were able to determine from the datasheets what the magnets were originally intended for; how version 3 seemed to support that hypothesis, and how you managed to make it very interesting without having any official confirmation or official source footage.

    • @brainiac75
      @brainiac75  Před 7 lety +127

      Maybe, but it's a safety issue. Attraction is fully controllable and predictable. Repulsion is not - the magnets really want to turn around unless in a sturdy rig.

    • @willyou2199
      @willyou2199 Před 7 lety +12

      I would say repulsion can be easier to set up, put them on a transparent vertical tube so they're only to move up and down, place weights on the top repelling magnet and measure heights.
      I feel like this can be more qualitative, as the only things in this are gravity and the magnetic repulsion.

      Could be even if it is quite a thin material. But I also tried sliding the magnet with my hand while applying pressure to the magnet and oddly enough the hard wood seemed more slippery. I wonder if the aluminium tape is thinly coated...

    • @willyou2199
      @willyou2199 Před 7 lety +1

      Actually, the eddy currents would work against (Lenz law) the magnet sliding, meaning whenever the magnet got closer together, the eddy currents would seek to push them further apart, albeit very weakly. This would help reduce friction as they aren't biting on the wood so forcefully.

    • @whatevernamegoeshere3644

      The moving direction of the magnet is what gets resisted and the vertical component is not really there I think since the magnet is only moving in parallel with the tape

    So magnets loose "attraction" when heated?

    • @David-pp9jw
      @David-pp9jw Před 7 lety +12

      Yes, based on a measurement scale called _Curie Temperature._

    • @willyou2199
      @willyou2199 Před 7 lety +43

      Edited to fill in more details and make a more wholesome explaination.
      A large magnet is is made up of smaller magnets, domains as they're called, these domains are orderly structured single crystal of material that makes up the magnet, but they are still microscopic. Thousands to millions of these domains make up a typical magnet
      The domains each generate a small magnetic field, It is the aligment of all these domains, forced to line up all in 1 direction, that makes a magnetic strong. Room temperature heat or random vibrations can cause these domains to rotate out of alignment. However, the strong field generated by all the nearby domains keeps individual domains from flipping. This is why magnets retain their strong magnetism at room temperature.
      When heated, large swaths of domains start to vibrate due to high temperature. Because every domain is now vibrating rapidly, the field generated by the domains (that used to be strong) is now weaker, by virtue of the unstable domain alignment, giving opportunity for individual domains to start flipping. If the temperature is high enough, this causes a cascade effect and the magnet is rapidly demagnetized.
      This phenomena is much more complicated, 1 complication is that although you lose magnetic strength with heating, it degrades the magnetic strength at a relatively slow rate. At the curie point all magnetism is lost suddenly and abruptly. This points to something deeper happening right at the curie temp (phase change). But for the mean time, you can think of it this way.

    He just created a magnet with a 400kg pull force... That's 890 pounds. That's nearly half a ton omg.

  • @noahlizard7
    @noahlizard7 Před 7 lety +9

    the aluminum tape would have had less friction! its due to the eddy current being created that the magnet was tilting on the wedge!

    • @brainiac75
      @brainiac75  Před 7 lety +1

      Could be even if it is quite a thin material. But I also tried sliding the magnet with my hand while applying pressure to the magnet and oddly enough the hard wood seemed more slippery. I wonder if the aluminium tape is thinly coated...

      @markharder3676 Před 7 lety +4

      Noahlizard, there's a cute experiment in which you drop a cylindrical magnet through a a copper tube slightly wider than the magnet. It's eerie. If you drop the magnet out in the open - no tube - as a control experiment, then for a second after the magnet enters the tube you wonder what happened to your magnet. Again, Lenz's law (see Damien W's post below.) explains the effect. The magnet starts moving, and moving, it induces a current in the copper conductor which creates its own magnetic field in the direction opposite that of the magnet, which of course slows the magnet. Brainiac could perhaps create a column of square metal circles a little wider than his magnet and try dropping it through. I predict that the magnet will fall in the spaces between the circles, then come to a near stop as it approaches each turn, then fall again. That would make a pretty demonstration of the law.

      Mark Harder, if that could actually be designed and used as a way to combine magnets it would be amazing!

    • @frechjo
      @frechjo Před 6 lety

      What Mark Harder described is actually used as the principle behind magnetic brakes.
      I don't know many applications of it, but it's used in some amusement park games.

    @jamesg1367 Před 6 lety

    I have a 3" (76mm) diameter X 2" (51mm) height cylindrical N45 magnet but it is so powerful that I have been unwilling to experiment much with it. Instead I enclosed it inside a solid 4" X 5" block of wood, effectively keeping all objects at least one inch (25mm) away from its surface. In this form it is fairly safe to handle in all sorts of ways and has proved very popular with all my friends and their children. A couple thousand 7mm ball bearings makes it a fascinating toy!

      Large magnets like these can easily squeeze my soft finger flat, grab the harder fingernail and spit the stumped finger out with the nail still between the magnets... Try searching for 'Dirk's magnet accident' for gory images :/

    hey, just wanted to point out a problem with the experiment at 5:00:
    The problem with a single measure experiment - the measuring tape is conducting the magnetic field, and the results would be farther than it would have been without it.
    Also the problem escalates when the experiment is repeated - if the distances to the measuring tape were modified, even the relative results would be falsified, since we don't know the extent of the magnetic field amplification.
