----> PROOF Magnets Have a SPINNING Magnetic Field

[MarkE]

I watch Dave's blog regularly and I saw that video yesterday.  I liked the energy analysis, but I noticed that he made a mistake relating to the impedance of that inductor, since inductors are current sources and they have high output impedances.

He made several mistakes, but none of them critical.  He kind of fumbled when describing the inductor switching mechanics, but his overall statements were close enough.

OK-whats with this sever error crap all the time here,now i have to go write this out all over again

So by your comment above I am assuming that you are saying, "Wait for the know-it-alls to come and shoot this down."   The problem is why aren't YOU shooting this down?

Lol-right on cue.
I dont have to shoot it down MH,you guys do a much better job.

When you look at what is being discussed here, we are back to this issue:  Do you understand the most basic basic fundamentals about electricity and magnetism?   (This is a generic "you") Because clearly if you don't understand them, then you are handicapped and simply can't function properly  when it comes to electronics

Lol,nothing like a good laugh to start the day off

FatBird is in the same boat here.  Failure to think.  If you (generic) don't know that a charged particle moving in a magnetic field will trace out a circular path, and you have been on a forum that talks about electronics for years, then your ignorance becomes stupidity.

MH,what about the rest of the explanantion-the right hand ruel and all,that explains as to why it starts the trace one way with the north field,and the other way with the south field

Here, let's have a bozo-busting mini-marathon about this subject:

This should be a hoot

One more time, you are failing to describe what you are talking about with sufficient information.  Who the hell really knows what, "place two magnets side by side with opposite polarities against the side of the glass" means except you.  There are all sorts of orientations that will satisfy your incomplete description.   Perhaps you will get a figure-eight, perhaps not.  With incomplete information I can't speculate.  I don't even know why you are saying "again."

Time for that space shuttle refit
Not to worry to much MH,as things seem to be going a little slow,i just decided to slip in the figure 8 there-->just to speed things up a little --worked a treat dont ya think?

Hello,  ted thanks for the video of the aquarium vortex link and thanks to fatbird for baiting Milesoo..High.. he lacks oxygen.... btw.. most of all the underwater clips are mine.. ha ha ha... Yeah.. only permanent magnets have a vortex spin on both ends..  I just don't have the time to waste here trying to explain my self as the resident experts will tell you are full of shi**...

Those clips I linked to covered some basic fundamentals about how moving charges (current) interact with a magnetic field that you may have never even considered in your life.  I also seriously doubt you have considered the direction of the current flow in the water.  For what it's worth, the current flow could be mapped out using curvilinear cubes.  I also seriously doubt that you have tried to visualize how the current flowing in the water crosses the magnetic field lines in the water.

Now, if you understood the basic fundamentals, and you understood roughly what direction the current was flowing in the area around the magnet, and then you "cross" that with the toroidal shape of the magnetic field from the magnet.....  <drum roll>.... Then you would conclude that the current flow crossing the lines of magnetic flux will exert a force on the water that will make the water spin in a spiral.  In other words, just like what you see in the video with the "plasma mug."

When I saw your clips a few years ago, I crunched the observed geometry and using the basic fundamentals about how moving charges interact with a magnetic field and concluded that it made perfect sense to see the water forming a vortex because of the forces generated when the current flow does a cross-product with the magnetic field lines.  It tool me about a minute to figure this out.

So, what that means is that what you are looking at is perfectly normal.  There is no "vortex" associated with the magnetic field.  You are simply observing something perfectly normal, not understanding it, and then leading yourself down a garden path by inventing a false explanation for what you are observing.   In other words, it couldn't be any worse for you, and your whole pitch is 100% wrong.
