A good demonstration of the Lorentz force (Right-hand rule). Almost all electric drives work according this principle.

[@robertpitt8418]

That truly is fascinating, i never expected a change in direction to take place. Thank you.

[@learnwithatiya]

Awesome demonstration

[@danish8435]

Best demonstration.

[@ostanin_vadym]

Thank you for interesting science demonstration

I'M THE NEW SUBSCRIBER

[@Tuepp]

Exactly as I'd expect since very first physic lessons I guess. No idea why KZbin suggested me this video.

[@owlredshift]

"Worthless, espteric concepts that underpin our entire society's lives! Nobody forgets things, everyone knows physics! Stupid KZbin, you're _supposed_ to know everything about me. Oh great, it's succinct and presented well. That's it, I'm leaving a comment about this experience, 👎 everyone must know that _I'm very smart_ . Hmm... Better go with a casual, disinterested tone for this one."

I love how he points pink as red

For the Love of Physics ❤

太帅了通电导线在B下受到F

[@UnfunnyMan]

i think it beacause of magnetic field as we studied in higher school from biot savart law

[@owlredshift]

Earning that name i see

[@staygreasy]

Is the north pole of the magnet red or pink?

Hi i am not harvart smart kid player

Nice to meet you

Very impressive. In 1968, the instructor at the electronics trade school I was attending brought out a high-voltage transformer for a neon sign and a thick piece of plate glass about a meter square with aluminum foil stuck to each side--inductor and capacitor deluxe. He connected the two sides of foil with wires to the transformer terminals and left the wires loose on the floor. When he plugged it in, the room was filled with a loud crackling as arcs passed around the edges of the glass between the foils, leaving etched tracks in the glass, and the wires visibly jumped. He did not leave it on long, because he did not want to expose us to excessive X rays, but the room was left smelling of sulfur. We were properly impressed.

no x-ray risk. In air, the mean free path of the e-'s before colliding with a molecule are far too short to accumulate enough kinetic energy while they're being accelerated by the ambient field gradient in order to produce x-rays on colliding with anything. Need to be in a vacuum to increase the MFP to something much larger to do that with laboratory scale voltages. Can't produce x-rays in air with sparks alone unless the volts and amps are insanely high such as in a lightning bolt. Even then the radiation flux is fairly limited.

@@Muonium1 Thanks for the info. I have always wondered about the possibility of X-ray emissions from large Van de Graaff generators and such.

[@gristlevonraben]

Funny, and very cool video.

One step to rail gun. Just need more 'juice'. :D
