Like TA, if approached with respect, same will be returned...only he knows a lot more than I do in his field.

But, by the same token, I know of no one that knows as much as I do in my particular field.

Like a mirror, what is before me will be reflected back.

That is my life code.

Ramset,  the demonstration is presented as a vial with a material in a colloidal suspension that when that suspended material falls in the presence of a magnetic field that a vortex forms. It is further alleged that the falling material is non-magnetic.  If we accept the assertions, then we can infer that the suspended particulate material is a good electrical conductor such as: gold, copper, silver, or aluminum.  Aluminum can be obtained in very fine powder as can gold.  For a slow falling demonstration such as this one, aluminum's low SG would be a strong advantage.

liquid dose not contain a standard feromagnetic material is the statement.

If this is a pledge to drop the unfounded allegations and abusive personal attacks, then I am happy to clean the slate.

First let me make one thing perfectly clear [Nixon]


I don't like what Cap is doing.........




the question I have about the Video has nothing to do with the formula and everything to do with
the result


a spinning Vortex appearing over a static  magnet.


?
is this "So what" nothing special
OR
that's impossible "must be trickery or illusion"


thx

Cap seems to be calming down.

The cyclone in a tube seems plausible. There is falling mass.  It's a suspension, so a certain amount of chaos is in play.  And if the material is conductive, the field will impose force that slows it down.  If I had some pyrotechnic aluminum powder sitting around I might throw some in a test tube of mineral oil and see if I could reproduce the demonstration.
