Magnet Myths and Misconceptions

[Magluvin]

Hi Magluvin,

Guess we can rule out poltergeists , I tried the experiment and got the same results, live near NY. I tried on different surfaces and to make sure there was nothing in the house went outside with a flat glass casserole bowl (low friction) and it also aligned N/S. I Stacked two 1/4" wide disc magnets together and they also turned without falling over. I tried a thin square magnet but didn't get it to turn.

This map shows magnetic anomalies in your area there is a kml file for Google Earth.

Thanks for sharing your experiments.

Thank you for that Dream.      Whew, I have been pulling my hair out waiting for a replication. 

So what do you think?  Has it always been this way, or do you find it very abnormal?

Thanks again, really.

A great thread,but still very vague on what a magnetic field really is
What has no mass but can exert a force other than photons?,or do magnetic fields have photon's?- I see no light emission from a magnet.Or do magnetic fields have mass- i think not.

Here we have an invisable force made from what?.
If a magnetic field has mass,then we have a looped system,where mass is ejected from one end(known as north) and drawn back in the other end(known as south)-Is this a self running device?.

What is the maximum rate of magnetic ecceleration? If a magnet was traveling at light speed through space,with the north pole leading,would another magnet traveling an inch behind it of the same size,and also with the north pole leading,catch the first magnet. Would it travel faster than the speed of light to latch onto the first magnet?

It is also interesting that a PM can produce far more electrical power than it took to make it in the first place-when used in a generator. The PM is a device that is charged up once,and last's for decades. I once seen a video(will try and find it again)where a guy magnetised 1000 3 inch nail's that held up more weight(steel plate) than the small PM he used to magnetise the nails in the first place. He then showed that there was still the same amount of pull force(magnetic field strength) in the PM he used to magnetise the nails as there was when he started the experiment.

Hey Tin.

Have you tried the magnet on the table test I described in my first post on this page?   Im surprised not more have tried and commented yet, other than Dreamthinkbuild, and he confirmed my findings.  Very surprised.  What, is it a big secret that we should not be talking about??

Good to see ya around

Dear Mag's.

I noticed the very same thing a few weeks back !!  Smiley

Video proof !!??           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLkJz-ZUDb4

Cheers Grum.
