SinkScience #07 - Ball Magnet Reverses Rotation
BackOrder the BEST neodymium super-magnets here: http://www.kjmagnetics.com/default.asp?PARTNER=mrfixitrick Unusual magnetic phenomena observations are found in this SinkScience #7 video. First, we see a rotating and revolving ball magnet in a pyrex bowl. The revolving was expected; the rotating was not. Is this the same phenomenon as the Earth rotating around it's axis as it revolves around the Sun? Secondly, we see a ball magnet inscribe cloverleaf patterns in a pyrex bowl at lower rpms, in circles and ellipses as the speed is increased. Third, and most important, is the ball magnet suddenly reverses direction at high speed, and revolves faster and smoother AGAINST the prevailing magnetic field than it did with it. Surprisingly strange behaviour! Eddy currents? Magnetic lag? Weird alien technology? Explanations are welcome!
