HUGE Magnet VS Copper Sphere - Defying Gravity- Will a Neodymium Magnet Float Inside?

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Really clever idea! You might try painting the copper black and playing with the shutter speed of the camera to get a stroboscope effect that will make the copper look like it's not rotating so fast. Alternately do a really slow shutter speed so the cage is a blur and the sphere stands out better since it moves slowly

[@DVSS77]

The stroboscope effect would be great to look at!

[@terracar2003]

Hey, love your videos! I was curious as to whether or not you have considered making content about the potential uses of thermoelectrics in personal temperature control? Like a air-conditioning suit using that thermal fabric of yours alongside a thermoelectric cooling pad.

[@SeanBZA]

Or put an optical sensor on the drive, place a slotted disk on the shaft, and use a LED lamp, so that the lamp only shines when there is a view into the sphere from the camera. Will need to be optical simply because magnetic will not work with that massive field. Copper sphere would be best also heavily plated with silver, to reduce skin resistance, or of course if it was cast entirely in silver as well, either pure, or alloyed with copper like coins, so you get a harder alloy, but still with lower resistance.

[@dakken74]

You should try a strobe lightand and try to match it to the shutter speed of the camera

[@NapoleonThe12th]

You beat me to suggesting painting the magnet! It's fine, I'm already subscribed to you. I was going to suggest a bright blue paint to contrast with the red copper.

[@twixerclawford]

[@matttgray]

7:55 YOU NEED TO CHANGE AXIS OF ROTATION - that slice is disrupting the eddy current / Lenz’s Law, and the orientation is exacerbating the issue. You're rotating the sphere around the poles, and the slice is along the equator. If you move the axis of rotation to the equator, it will allow for larger, more continuous eddy current loops to form. There’s a short titled “Can a non-magnetic material be stopped by a magnet?” by tamuphysastr that overviews this concept pretty well

[@crains8087]

Or have a different design for the copper sphere that allows the eddy currents to form. The structure of the sphere, with all those holes, is limiting the size of the eddy currents. Try a sphere with bands perpendicular to the axis of rotation. I'd also try it with the cylindrical magnet inside the sphere.

[@HB-et5iv]

No rotating over the poles. The magnet will always turn to align its poles with the axis of rotation, i.e. so that it feels the lowest forces. For the same reason it starts rotating with the sphere until the speeds match, the eddy currents cease, and it stops levitating :(

[@skywolfbat]

It's 100% the shape. It's creating patterns in the eddy currents which want to follow the shape of the copper. Remaking the mold with a band like structure (Think a spherical set of jail bars that meet at the poles) might give a better result. Or, if you wanted to have the bars of copper going along the axis of rotation, clip them in a cage like formation with plastic bars running one way and bands of copper running the other.

11:01 when drilling at n rpm, put the camera to n/60 fps to make it seem like the sphere is not rotating

[@GearboxEnt]

of have long-enough exposure time to fully blur the sphere at speed

[@robspiess]

The "sphere" has 60º rotational symmetry, so you can multiply that stroboscope by 6 (n/10 fps): 60RPM = 6fps 120RPM = 12fps 300RPM = 30fps And use a short exposure time (with lots of light) so as not to blur the sphere to help it look stationary.

[@jmquadros]

A stroboscopic light at 1/10 the RPM would give a better effect than changing the exposure, it would also be easier to synchronize with the holes of the copper sphere

[@LeonardoG1981]

@@robspiess I thought that if he matches the RPMs to the FPS it should be enough, because each frame would equal one rotation and would capture the truncated icosahedron on the same position every time, making it look stationary, so we should be able to see through one of the openings as if the truncated icosahedron was stationary.

[@jawa7609]

Cast a thinner/Sand down the inner circumference of the chew toy? Make larger holes in the sphere? Weaker magnet? My thinking is the Hall Effect is overwhelming the power of the magnet because of the volume of copper. Even at slow speeds, there's too much resistence being generated by the sheer volume of copper in relation to the volume/effect of the magnet. In other words, Too much flour, not enough eggs in the cake. Try a larger area around the magnet, a smaller magnet, or less total copper around the magnet via larger holes. One/all of them are your solution. Find a ferrous sphere magnet and see what happens! I bet you could do higher speeds purely because of the MUCH weaker interaction between the materials.

I truly love your videos and respect the hell out of the detail you put into them.

[@daveansell1970]

Because the sphere is polygonal magnetically the magnet will see a bumpy surface, the join line being down the middle will make it even worse because the magnet only 'sees' loops of copper as electromagnets, and the join line breaks lots of loops of copper which ought to be there. This will make the centrifugal force problem much worse as the magnet is being effectively grabbed by the bumps. I think you could get the effect you want by making the sphere out of a series of copper rings held together by something non conductive. That way the symmetry isn't broken and the ball should levitate smoothly.

Huge thank you, for making this video!

There seems to be a definite need to play with lighting and the coloring of the sphere to better showcase the events, I think it would definitely make it look more awesome.

I'm trying to imagine how far we as a species would have become if all videos on KZbin were like this instead of what it is now. It shows curiosity, experimentation and result. Everyone who saw this is a better person because of it.

Okay, so the making of the sphere was so very satisfying. Well done.

[@JaimeFerreira44]

this is one of those that you enjoy the ride, not the destination, thank you.

[@sigisalmen2399]

Use a in frequency adjustable stroboscope light in complete darkness while it's rotating. That brings the copper sphere to "stop". Not only for the camera but also for your eyes. Great project, thanks 👍🏻

@4:25 You said, "Fortunately, most of the time it does (work out)." There's nothing fortunate about it. It's due to your meticulous planning and execution that it all goes well. It's one of the things that I appreciate about your channel.

[@Michael-bn1oi]

It's a simple turn of phrase

[@AllenKnutson]

Visionary stuff man. Great to see the mix of 3d printing and ceramic preliminaries. 1) Make the interior of the truncated dodecahedron spherical rather than polyhedral. That is, start with a sphere and poke nice holes in it. 2) Once you have a better setup with the drill spinner, match the rotation to the shutter speed so the cage isn't visibly rotating.

[@seasicksinbad]

I do metal casting also and I agree when you say that after all the prep work, the metal casting itself is anticlimactic. Great vid by the way, I enjoyed every second of it.

[@noobertplaying2395]

11:38 How about give it some gears? It might fasten the spins, plus. the drill is noisy and might as well made the holes a bit smaller

[@nickbrunelle2472]

The magnet might float better if the two halves had a more ideal electrical connection. The eddie currents are probaly being interrupted at the seam. Maybe some more filing or you could TIG weld them together. This is really cool reguardless.

[@KafshakTashtak]

I thought about him welding or brazing them. The problem is that the heat will spread quickly through the copper, and that might anneal the magnet.

[@whome9842]

@@KafshakTashtak Some conductive putty might help increasing the contact area.

[@HarveyJay-qw2gk]

@@KafshakTashtak Use regular solder or silver solder, lower temp than brazing or welding. if the seams are tinned before soldering it will go quicker with less chance of major heat adsorption.

[@rogerd4559]

Would it help to solder the two half's together?

Keep digging my friend, you could hit bedrock and bottom out on truth that haters cannot deny, be undeniable my friend. It is a pleasure watching your process. Skillz

[@chris_blake83]

Noticed when you were trying to get a better camera angle that the axis was a copper tube. Not sure how practical or if possible but it would be good to have an endoscope camera within the axis tube to get the internal view when it’s rotating.

[@rogerd4559]

what if you had an endless copper tube with that ball in it? Would the ball stay perpetually suspended?

[@SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

Kinda cool when a channel I've been following out of interest in metal casting commits to building an experiment that attempts to demonstrate a physics principal.

[@-RedSerpent-]

Make a base with a rotating magnet (hidden) at the right speed so the chamber spins with nothing connected to it, with a floating ball inside. I think that would look really cool.

[@liamspence9763]

Setting up a motor with a stroboscope synced up to show a consistent window into the sphere would be really sick, love this design

[@6Twisted]

0:28 does that make contactless bearings possible? What's the drag like?

[@bread6957]

I think bro is onto something

[@Everfalling]

No because the eddy currents generate heat in the metal.

[@Andrew-vr5bb]

Would probably melt itself if it went too fast

[@bread6957]

@@Andrew-vr5bb just don't go too fast

[@mduckernz]

Contactless, yes, drag-less - no. Magnetic bearings already exist, this is just a derivative of one

[@chrisbrown4295]

Try freezing the magnet. Reduce the magnet size about 1/3. Fill the holes with copper plugs, every other one, gradually take out one at time, spin, see if fully covering the sphere increases resistance.
