Amazing Discovery With Magnets - The Inverter Magnet

SUBTITLES AVAILABLE
Truly the stuff of science fiction! This brand new discovery/invention was only patented in 2012, and everyone here at Grand Illusions has been utterly amazed to see this effect in action.
Basically the main unit, or inverter magnet, has a plastic ring that contains two circular neodymium magnets in the centre, and six smaller ones around the edge. There is then a second, test magnet, which is identical to the two magnets in the centre of the inverter array.
The magnets are arranged so that the test magnet is attracted to the central magnets in the inverter array, but repelled by the six, smaller magnets around the edge. So given these conflicting forces, what will happen when you bring the two together?
Initially, the two are attracted, since the large magnets work at a greater distance. But then, as they get close, the repulsion starts to work between the test magnet and the six small magnets, and the test magnet stops, leaving a gap between the two! The inverter array and the test magnet are held together in this invisible bond, and you can move one magnet and the other will follow, despite the fact there is an air gap between them.
This reminds us of the so called tractor beam that occurs in various science fiction movies, where a spaceship can reach out through space and hold another ship or another object locked in an invisible beam!
The inventor did extensive computer modelling of the magnetic fields involved, in order to discover exactly what combination of magnets would work. Only then did he start work on a series of prototypes.

The functioning is pretty simple. Magnetic force is an inverse r-squared effect. the larger magnets pull together at a larger distance, until the effect of the smaller magnets (being closer) overcome the attractive force of the (further) larger magnets. let's say that the small magnets are .2in closer than the far magnets. at 1inch it's 1.2in^2 / 1in2 = 1.44 multipplier. at .2in it's .4in^2/.2in2 = 4 thus the closer (but smaller) magnet gets a 4x multiplier over the larger (further) magnet. When the distance multiplier matches the strenth difference the two systems are in equilibrium. Any closer and the small magnets push REALLY hard. Any firther and the big magnets oversome the repulsion of the small ones.

It is the same reason why your hand can not go through a wall :) When the outer electrons are close together they repel each other more than the electron and proton attack each other :) It all has to do with the Distance Square formula :)

[@maplesyrup2944]

+Michel Lavergne No! It has to do with the distance to the satellite ones being less than to the middle one, and an equilibrium, where as he said, the other magnetic force would increase if the distance would change. The reason is not quite the same, but the phenomenon of magnetism is though.

[@nexus1g]

Moofy You sure?

[@ragepoweredgamer]

Positive. The only thing keeping them from flipping and sticking to the stronger force is their own weight and the flat surface of the table. You would need a three dimensional array with more magnets in order to make something float.

[@nexus1g]

ragepoweredgamer Depends on if the field pulling it sideways has a strength with the other magnet greater than gravity though, right?

[@wbeaty]

But can you hold it up vertically, then dangle the simple magnet under it, so it hovers?

[@Sgrunterundt]

Sadly, no. Permanent magnetic levitation is proven impossible. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earnshaw's_theorem Except for a number of cases that break the assumptions of the theorem. Such cases are diamagnetism (truly permanent), superconductivity (permanent as long as it is cold, arguably a special case of diamagnetism) spin stabilized as in the levitron (not permanent as spin will slow down) or active control as a number of levitating gadgets (not permanent since it uses power), most of these are shown in various of Tims videos. This one has neither. It uses the force from the table to keep it stable, in the air the magnet would flip over.

[@TheLawnWanderer]

Kasper Feld You can do it with certain diamagnetic materials in room temperature though.

[@charlesme2]

I have a way to levitate them. It makes use of a gyro combined with it. The gyro won't stop due to a electronic motor. I just need a couple grand to build it. I do believe you will be able to ride it :) Just money is stopping me.

[@HerraTohtori]

It's actually pretty simple, but a good demo for improving understanding of magnetic field interactions. TL;DR: At the distance where the outer magnet stops, the pulling force from centre magnets is equal to repulsive force from outer magnets so they balance each other out. Longer explanation: Magnetic force falls off in the inverse cube of distance. The big magnets' interactions cause an attractive force, while the big/small magnet interactions cause a repulsive force. Since the big magnet at the centre is so much larger than the satellites, the attractive force is stronger at long range. But when the big magnet outside the inverter assembly approaches the satellite magnets, the repulsive force increases faster than the attractive force. When the big magnet gets close enough to the satellites, the repulsive force will be stronger than attractive force and push the outside magnet away. But at certain point, the attractive force and repulsive force are just the same. That's the equilibrium distance. In theory, if you placed these magnets on a very low friction surface (like floating on an air cushion), they would start to oscillate around that equilibrium distance, and if you minimize the dampening friction forces, you can get them to oscillate like that for a very long time. But the equilibrium distance is not quite the same on any direction. Because the satellite magnets are placed on intervals, the equilibrium distance has corresponding peaks and dimples on it. The equilibrium distance is, obviously, longest at the angles where the satellite magnets are, and closest between the satellite magnets. The system wants to settle to the lowest possible energy state, so the outside magnet will "fall" into the dimples where the equilibrium distance is the closest to the inverter assembly. And it wants to stay there, which causes the outer magnet to rotate with the inverter assembly. This assembly is stable on two-dimensional surface, but unstable on three dimensions - if you try to lift the magnets from the surface into air, there will be nothing stopping the outer magnet from going up or down, and then it'll just probably flip over the satellite magnets and attach itself to the centre magnets. By the way, the word "equilibrium" has its roots in two latin words: "Aequus" for "equal" and "libra" for "balance". It means, literally, equal balance and in physics that is applied to situations like this where two forces balance each other out.

seems like the inner magnet is stronger, thus attracting the other magnet from quite a distance. but as the other magnet gets close, the force of the ring magnets increases faster because they are closer to the other magnet - because the magnetic force is not a linear but an exponential function.

Actually, it is not an exponential function. It’s an inverse square function.

[@Sauromannen]

@@ThomasRippel just guessing, huh? There are perfect mathematical models for simple magnetic dipoles that you can look up, and they are not exponential in nature. The actual force between magnets are depending on the magnetic field that decays as an inverse square of the distance. The shape and surrounding magnetic (or susceptibility) properties affects the forces between magnetic objects as well.

He looks baked asf

We have all these comments here explaining this magnet phenomenon, then we have this comment over here :)

[@Thekingboss85]

Beefy J glad to help :)

[@BushCampingTools]

That's very cool. I'd love to read about the physics behind it and or see the fields.

Wait until he shows us how the great pyramids were assembled. Your mind will be blown away.

[@JP-cy1lw]

Superb! There must be an application for this.

Frictionless bearing.

[@grazianoturbogas]

It can't rotate. Well, i thik it can at high speed, but the variation in the magnetic field will create strong parassite currents into the magnets itself, braking down the "bearing". But... may be with some modification? :-)

[@onefodderunit]

Graziano Ullucci I'm confident that you could figure out how to suspend a high RPM shaft in a magnetic field if you decided to.

[@grazianoturbogas]

I'm having an idea of a possible solution for a bearing right now actually... But, as usual, it will not work I'm pretty sure! :-)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but they already exist. I have an Enermax 80 mm fan computer that rotates the blades using an electromagnetic field. The blades are held in place with nothing but magnets and are extremely quiet.

[@onefodderunit]

Mufinn Man It's OK. We'll never run out of bubbles.

Now what happens when yo hold it in the air?

[@trucid2]

Magnetic locking! That's really cool.

Ive been planing for about 2 years to create a hover car and this video really helps because then if the magnets can somehow be used up and down a vehicle would hover without the need of magnetic bars under A road. Just one road could cost about 10 grand.
