    I loved this show so much. I remember sending a letter once. Having just learned how to properly write one at school, I neatly copied the address, made a funny-looking envelope, and asked my parents to take it to the post office. Thing is, I live in Brazil and I watched it dubbed in Portuguese, so I wrote the letter in that language, thinking Beakman would understand it. It wouldn't be surprising if the show didn't even exist anymore when it aired in Brazil, because it's cheaper to purchase rights to air old programs.

If by any chance Paul Zaloom reads my comment I would like to thank him because he made me get interested in science, be curious and do "experiments" at a young age. Thank you so very much sir!

    I love the video, and I'm a huge Beakman fan - I loved it growing up and my kids watch it today.
    There is a small mistake in the science in the video though. At 7:25, Beakman explains how magnets' field interaction increases in strength as they approach, but he also says that potential energy increases at this time as well. It doesn't; it's actually decreasing (though the force between them is definitely going up.) The magnets have maximum potential energy at infinite separation and lose energy as they approach in the same way that a ball gains potential energy as it is moved away from Earth. That's why it requires energy to separate them once they're stuck together (at a potential energy minimum.)

    • @CaptainDisillusion
      @CaptainDisillusion  Před 8 lety +48

      Thanks! But I'm afraid you are slightly mistaken. Yes, potential energy between two magnets (with opposite poles facing) is higher, the wider the distance between them. But not indefinitely, only up until the outer edges of the magnetic fields' attraction. The idea in that part of the video is that Beakman brings the magnets from a distance where they don't interact at all to a distance where they start to, thereby increasing the potential energy.

    • @scottbarrie1279
      @scottbarrie1279 Před 8 lety +10

      As the magnets get closer with opposite poles facing, the potential energy becomes more negative, not more positive. If the same poles were facing, they would become more positive.
      Magnetic fields don't have set distance limits. They go as far as photons go.

    • @scottbarrie1279
      @scottbarrie1279 Před 8 lety +8

      Think of potential energy like height. Positive potential energy (same poles facing) is like a hill (positive height). To move them closer, you need to go up the hill. This requires work or kinetic energy.
      Negative potential energy (opposite poles facing) is like a valley. Moving closer lets you do work, or increases your kinetic energy. Moving closer decreases your potential energy by making it more negative. This assumes you define zero potential energy as occurring an infinite distance away.

    • @CaptainDisillusion
      @CaptainDisillusion  Před 8 lety +12

      +Scott Barrie Hmm, well the "magnetic potential energy" section of this article (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_energy) says "If the opposite poles are held apart, the potential energy will be highest when they are at the edge of their attraction" It doesn't say it's highest when they are infinitely far apart. Is that incorrect?

    • @jasonpatterson8091
      @jasonpatterson8091 Před 8 lety +9

      For real, practical magnets on Earth, infinite separation and "far enough apart that you can't feel them attracting in any way" are essentially the same thing. However, if you put two magnets in space at that separation, the lack of all friction will show that they are still attracted to one another reasonably strongly.
      The force goes to zero as you approach infinite separation, so the potential energy is at a maximum at infinity. Any closer than infinity means a decrease in energy. Practically speaking, "pretty far apart" is effectively zero, but you can never increase the potential energy of two magnets by bringing their opposite poles closer together. (Their like poles are at a maximum when touching.)
      Blargh, I missed an earlier comment, so part of this didn't make sense in context. In short, yes, magnetic fields extend infinitely far into space, in exactly the same way that gravitational or electric fields do.

    @5:00 Actually, over a long enough span of time, the spinning wheel will grind down to a halt, having radiated its energy as gravitational waves. It would take a very, very, very long time, mind you.
    Edit: Actually, a spinning wheel does not radiate gravitational waves unless it is non-homogeneous. Quoting WIkipedia: "In general terms, gravitational waves are radiated by objects whose motion involves acceleration and its change, provided that the motion is not perfectly spherically symmetric (like an expanding or contracting sphere) or rotationally symmetric (like a spinning disk or sphere). A simple example of this principle is a spinning dumbbell. If the dumbbell spins around its axis of symmetry, it will not radiate gravitational waves; if it tumbles end over end, as in the case of two planets orbiting each other, it will radiate gravitational waves." A spoked bicycle wheel would radiate, but a disc wheel wouldn't.

    • @dlb4299
      @dlb4299 Před 4 lety +14

      Not only that. Entropy would cause the material in the wheel to gradually evaporate. Also stray materials moving through space and inconsistencies between the various tiny gravitational forces moving through the universe will cause to stop over a very long time span.

    Awesome crossover! Took me right back to when Beakman’s World aired on TV.

    I love how Beakman used "Zaloom! Perpetual motion!"... a reference to his own name! Brilliant! Also, I would 100% watch a new Beakman's World! My favorite show as a kid!

      @Edward Starski I was going to quip about you having this backwards, but obviously the truth is that you have a much deeper misconception. Statements like what you just made are exactly why the likes of Beakman's World still ought to exist. Unravelling the tapestry of misunderstanding, preconceived notions, and deliberate ignorance takes more than just well explained facts.

    I've been binge watching Captain's videos, and I can't understand how I only discovered this from someone mentioning it on a podcast. Amazing. Love that this episode exists and it's amazing. Whenever he adopts another show's silliness, he goes all the way and it feels just as good as my nostalgia believes it would be to go back and watch Beakman.

    Man, the actress who plays Ellie (Crystal Shannon) really deserved more than her imdb page suggests her career gave her. If she will put this much into a CZcams video!

      I agree, Captain should be among the most subscribed channels on YT. I've been on a 2 day binge of this channel (since I discovered it yesterday). I've never been so addicted to a channel before.

    I loved watching Beakman’a World when I was a kid and this episode just brought a tear to my eye, like running into a beloved friend I hadn’t seen or heard from since then. Thank you for this! Looking great, Beakman! So happy to see you, again!
