  • How dare you spend ...

    How dare you spend time with your children. Helloooooooooooooooooooooo what is the matter with you people? You should be ashamed, how can you expect them to grow into poverty if you constantly give them love, attention, and teach them. Some body call the thought police on this guy.

  • Yes, it would spin ...

    Yes, it would spin forever. However, if you try to generate electricity from it by adding a conductor, it would slow down due to eddy currents.

    yes, it's the 90 degree rule, when a magnet approaches another magnet of similar strength it causes a magnetic vortex.....

  • I am not qualified ...

    I am not qualified to answer this question but in my test and experiments there does seem to be magnetic field friction or resistance. In the levitron video titled "alien ship" you will see something similar that I thought would spin forever in a vacuum but according to some studies I read it did not spin for much longer than normal which would seem to suggest "magnetic friction".

    Check it out and see what you think. Food for thought though.

  • Awesome science ...

    Awesome science project! If this array were placed in a vacuum, would it theoretically spin forever? Is there such a thing as magnetic friction?

  • Awesome science ...

    Awesome science project! If this array were placed in a vacuum (after it started spinning when you blew on it like that), would it theoretically spin forever ? Is there such a thing as magnetic friction?

    the levitation is ok, but i really like the way you used the screw clamp to adjust the field.

    Thought your young ones would like to see another form of diamagnetism, it's not as elegant as yours but still interresting.
