You could try this with copper chromate crystals and might see separation of positive and negative ions (dark green CuCrO4 separates to blue Cu2+ and yellow chromate). I've done this as a simple electrolysis-on-paper starting with a central line of copper chromate, to get bands of colour, rather than a dusting of crystals which might show field lines. The solution would need to be an ammonia buffer which keeps the chromate yellow and makes the copper bluer.
I wonder if this would be able to see through a 1 inch, rubber aerial enclosure from about 25 feet.... I'm a phone/dsl repair guy...rodents and birds like to build nest inside and disrupt service.
This 8 year old video is just soo underrated. This video just cleared my concept of beats. The drum examples the typical teachers give are just too complex to understand as compared to this.
Thanks for the video, James; this is proving my hunch that I could find the mouse that (I think) is hiding in my place using an infrared camera. Only wish these things weren't so expensive!
Saw you on Ancient Aliens. Great demonstration. Now I saw you here! I hope they have your permission!😄 You are featured towards the end of the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CNMUeK4PNww.html
A question: How can I make my plasma ball lights slow down? Previously I had an 8" plasma ball and it was slower, less hectic. A new 6" plasma ball has lights that move like crazy and it is less pleasant as a living room light. Is there any solution to this? (Great video. Great tips that we will use with students. Thanks.)
James Lincoln: I understand that Ferromagnetic materials like Iron has 4 unpaired electrons per atom, Cobalt has 3 unpaired electrons per atom, and Nickel has 2 unpaired electrons per atom. But how many unpaired electrons per atom is present in the actual magnet that's attracted to these Ferromagnetic materials?
But doesn't the Pauli Exclusion Principle state that no two fermions (itc electrons) can be in the same state? So, if they have the same spins, won't it break this principle?
James the fact that you have discontinued to report on the radiation levels of Southern California beach’s has me very very concerned. Have you been discouraged from doing so, you have an obligation to your fellow man James. Ben
A magnet is a collection of microscopic crystal domains that have their electron spins aligned. This is not an explanation. This is a description. What is a domain? Why is it pointing? What is the purpose of the pointing? What is a north pole? What is going out of the North Pole? What is a south pole? What is going into the South pole? Isn't an electron a mathematical concept?
My inner child always wanted to play with one of these, so I got one a while back. The following weekend, everyone were thrilled by my plasma ball trick, since it set off the wireless smoke detector/alarm system at 4AM.
I had a similar experience. I bought one of these balls, a big 6" one, to show my 3-year-old son, and put it on my desk near the cable coming from the keyboard. He has a tendency to hit things when they frustrate him (normal stuff for his age) so sometimes he would hit my keyboard if the video or thing we did on the computer wasn't what he wanted. So, naturally when my keyboard started sending random characters to my computer, I thought he had damaged it. It was a new keyboard, for a newly built computer, so I didn't even consider mechanical. After trying a bunch of different things, I had the plasma ball running while playing a game called The Isle, where you play as a dinosaur. It seemed to be working great at the time so I figured maybe the random-keystrokes-issue was fixed, whatever the problem was. While sitting, waiting for my dinosaur to heal in the game, I casually touched the plasma ball on my desk. Suddenly, my dinosaur roared. That normally takes a keystroke so I thought I had accidentally pressed it while moving around. Then the lightbulb went off and I touched the plasma ball again, and another roar. Boy, did I feel dumb. Spent a whole weekend trying to determine if I needed to backup my newly build computer because I messed something up. Turns out, these things should not be near electrical things!
I used salt water with some KMnO4 and a couple of coat hanger electrodes. It worked fairly well but not a dramatically as your better setup. My source of electricity was a 6-V battery. What power source do you use?
Good day I would like to know if I can make use of your videos in an ebook. I would like to paste the video URL in my ebook so my learners can access your videos. Thnx
