B/ In this position the (aluminium) wheel is gripped firmly by
the magnetic flux in-between the ball and magnet.
It will be difficult to turn the wheel by hand, due to the outward pressure of the ball (friction)on the wheel.


are you saying that the aluminum wheel will resist movement
because of the magnetic field that the magnet causes?

how does that happen to a non ferrous material such as
aluminum , mike?

if your going to move threads away from the general science forum you should have a valid reason other than any personal
discrimination that you might have.

C/The experimenter cleverly pulls the magnet away from the
ball, just enough for it to be gently attracted in the magnets direction, and gives the wheel a quick turn by hand.


if you watched the video you can clearly see that at 1:28 into
the video he uses only the magnet to start the wheel turning
as his other hand is in the video on the table.



to be honest and fair not to mention scientific about it , I would think that you should put the thread back in the general science forum.

unless you can provide some evidence other than what
you have provided.

aluminum frame electric motors , they must work because
they sell aluminum frame electric motors everywhere , maybe they just didn't realize that the magnetic flux would keep
the aluminum frame motors from turning because of the grip
that the magnetic flux has on the aluminum.

moving this thread to the NQS forum does show what scientist
are all about these days however , let it stay here to show
the readers how to sweep things under the science rug when
they happen across something that they cannot comprehend.

stupid smart people



3/4 inch of dust build up on the moon in 4.527 billion years,LOL and QM is fantasy science.
