Hello Bruce, can you tell me what the purpose of the stopper is please, I guess it helps it hold the static charge for longer? Also, would a PVC rod work better than a pipe if that's the case? Love the video and thanks for your time :)
@YeanyScience5 жыл бұрын
The stopper's function is not an important one, it's purpose is to hold the dowel at the end of the tube. The purpose of the dowel is to reach up and snag the loops off the ceiling when they get stuck there. Having it or not should nave not affect on the amount of charge. I would prefer the pipe since it has more surface area an should have a greater charger and hold it longer

Tried this this morning, and it works beautifully! My 6yo was very excited by the magic levitating rings :) I used a ring made of a shopping bag charged with a wool jumper. One weird thing I noticed is that after a few goes, the ring will not charge up any more and no longer levitates, or sticks to the jumper. Made a new ring out of the same bag, and that one worked perfectly. Do you know what process is at work here?
@YeanyScience5 жыл бұрын
Are you handling it, if you hands are moist that may be a cause, also the amount of humidity can be dampening out the effect. These can be a lot of fun but I find they are very sensitive to weather patterns and work the best in areas or times that are very dry, rainy days do not make for good results.

due to the strength of the repelling electrons, the ring will move and if you dont move the pole with it, it will travel too far to the side until it falls. if you keep moving the pole, you'll keep the ring above it and floating. my question: What is a way to calculate the amount of static electric energy is in the entire system in order to determine when the ring will fall? rate of discharge?

I haven't been able to recreate the experiment with successful results since the first time. I have used balloons, golf tube plastic pipes, pvc pipes and many types of materials including faux fur and wool. I do live in Florida and saw on another comment that weather can affect the charge. Is there a way to recreate the experiment and create enough static electricity to create the experiment with humid weather or will it not work? Thanks for your time I love the channel!
