I'm an electrical engineer in my mid-20s. I sincerely wish I could've met and taken a course from this professor. He did a great job of building up from a physics principle to an engineering application. Only wish I could hear him explain how he understands electricity and magnetism.

I like this kind of explanations - straight to the point and still entertaining by phenomenon itself and not by the fuss around it. An about phenomena - If I remember correctly - no mention about this kind of stuff of magnetism in school or university while this videotape is older than me. And mechanical model of the wave carrying object is amazing too.

Instead of using a secondary coil to create a stable levitation build that into the aluminium plate, instead of one plate use a plate of half thickness and have two of them, then cut them in half, now place two halves together then place the other halves on top with joints facing opposite directs so joint layers form a cross, not sure how you would secure them together, maybe glues or maybe a weld around the circumference, not sure if that will effect it but i believe it wont.

At some point, the traveling magnetic field will increase its speed. However, at even higher frequencies, the coils impedance will increase, thus decreasing the current and the lifting capacity.

a mile of this (that would be powerful enough to raise and move a person) would cost a fortune in copper alone. then there is the power consumption. Try putting a cart on wheels to see if the power would be better or worse. I suspect the cart would be way more efficient than to raise the same wieght (say 200 lbs.) and then move it while levitating it along for a mile.

The problem isn't technology, it is money. If people didn't demand to be the ones to make all the money from things like this, we would have magnetic levitating roads by now. Do you know why roads are so cheap? It is because no one holds the patent for tarmac and demands that anyone making it can't do it without paying him. Every time a new problem comes up in engineering, someone solves it and then patents it and increases the cost of anyone else building new things. Like if someone was trying to put in a road, and there was a fence in the way. Then someone came up with a new and novel way to remove large amounts of fence cheaply and quickly but wont let anyone else use his discovery unless they pay him a lot of money. The world we live in just chooses to do without, and in a few decades when the patent lifts, someone picks up the technology, and then discovers some other problem that needed to be solved, but the patent for that still exists, so he cant use that amazing technology without paying several different patent owners. We simply do not use the best technology or methods because someone, somewhere, demands us to pay them to build something with our own 2 hands. There must be a better way to guarantee inventors make money from their inventions, without holding the whole world back because they had a good idea slightly before everyone else. If someone else came up with a good way of removing fences without knowing about the work done before him, he can't even start a business removing fences because someone else knew before him. How does that make sense? You should only get paid for the work you do with your own hands, if you invent something on your own, keep it to yourself until you can make it and sell it. If someone else comes to the same conclusion you did, then what you discovered wasn't that special since they were able to find it too. Patents confuse things because you can claim they copied your patent, but if you kept it a secret then they didn't copy your patent, they understood what was happening and put 2 and 2 together for themselves. Why do we punish people for putting 2 and 2 together for themselves, then trying to sell 4 to people that want it, just because someone they never heard about was trying to sell 4's unsuccessfully for years? It seems like finding people who want a 4 is a harder problem than figuring out that 2 plus 2 equals 4. So the person that finds people that need something, then try to find that thing to give to them, is of more value than a person that finds things but can't find anyone that needs them.

A completely new highway and mass transporation system can be built with these principals and do away with the internal combustion engine. Turning highways into magnetic rivers and vehicles made of aluminum. No more traffic tickets. No more deaths. No more pollution. No more special interest. Just a real cool way to get from coast to coast, nation to nation, and literally costing us nothing for the magnetism and the ore, completely nature-made once labor builds the system. The rest is maintenance. A world where oil is not king.

@SuperFinGuy
@SuperFinGuy 8 жыл бұрын
What the professor is calling a traveling field is in other words an electromagnetic wave. As the magnetic field is waved it produces a current in the aluminium that in turn produces its own changing magnetic field that repels the initial field. That is why the thicker the aluminium the stronger the repulsion.
@joeshmoe7967
@joeshmoe7967 3 жыл бұрын
It won't work the same. It actually CAN'T work the same. The trick with the electromagnets is the CHANGING magnetic field. This changing field, INDUCES a magnetic field in the aluminum that OPPOSES the field that created it, thus providing the repulsion and motion. As shown in the beginning, some of the effect is possible with permanent magnets, but the stability and control is not there. Electromagnets allow the strength, direction, and frequency of the field to be controlled to suit the application.
