Faraday's Paradox experiment

[gravityblock]

Here's an experiment proving the magnetic field does rotate with the magnet, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh7o7Q7PraY

At the beginning of the video, I am holding the string to the top magnet.  I rotated the magnet many times before the video to build up tension in the string.  After I release the string,the top magnet will begin to unwind.  As the top magnet is unwinding, the bottom magnet will rotate.  When the tension of the string on the bottom magnet becomes too great, then it will unwind also.

As you can clearly see, rotating either magnet will cause the other magnet to also rotate.  My next video will have the bottom string attached to a swivel bearing, so tension won't build up in the string and will rotate without resistance in one direction only.

For those who will find fault in my experiment, then do this very simple experiment yourself, so you can feel the forces involved.

it is strange that the magnets have a preferred start setting.

the magnets have not uniform magnetization?

The magnets do have a uniform magnetization, and both are rotating on their magnetic axis.  The preferred start setting is due to the lack of tension on both strings.  Do this simple experiment for yourself, and you will feel the forces involved.  Don't try to find a fault in this experiment until you have replicated it.  This is so easy to replicate, there is absolutely no reason for someone to try and find a fault, until they actually replicate it for themselves.  Experiment, and you just may learn something.

Very interesting experiment GB. Can you try the same with one magnet and one iron piece? Will the iron piece also rotate with the magnet ?

No, the magnetic field DOES NOT rotate with the magnet when the magnet is rotated on it's B-axis!

Your experiment is flawed.  The magnets in your video are nickel-plated rare-earth magnets.  The magnets you have  are either magnetized across the diameter (as opposed to magnetized through the thickness) or, (as an alternative explanation) the rotating magnet causes a counter-EMF to be set up in the surrounding nickel plating, which causes a counter-current, which (in turn) effects the other magnet.  If you did this same experiment with magnets that are un-plated and non-conducting (like ceramic magnets), and those magnets are magnetized through the thickness (and not across the diameter) you would see no rotation in the other magnet.

I did the same experiment in my laboratory with uncoated ceramic disc magnets (that were magnetized through the thickness), and the magnet on the bottom DID NOT ROTATE when the top magnet was rotated.
