Does The Weight Increase When You Levitate a Superconductor on a Scale? 

Thank you, I couldn’t be bothered to watch it all...

Nice pun.

ty Jeebus

Literally

i'd guess the vacuum chamber is just too slow for the experiment to count.

Lol

double lol

I guess so lol This is hard to understand , I can visualize it though

What about in space

Right, first of all you can never do it with this pump, not even with a secondary diffusion or turbo molecular pump, And also there still would be quantum fluctuations and the only way to get them away is with the Casimir effect where not all wavelengths of particals have the necessary space to exist

@@aarongames7034 I need to disappoint you, in interplanetary space there still are thousands of molecules per m^2, in interstellar space a few hundred and even in intergalactic space you can find between 1 and 10 per meter cubed Maybe somewhere in interdimensional space but who knows what that stuff is all about

Fabian Widmann I have no clue what the casmir effect is, I am in 8th grade, and when I looked it up, it looks like that is a side affect of quantum fluctuations, not like it can stop quantum fluctuations. I have no doubt you are smart, and I do not mean to sound condescending if I do, I just don’t know how else to phrase it. Pls help explain what you mean if you can, I appreciate it

@@chrisawesome3091 well, I am currently working my first year as a chemist in Austria, and exploring the quantum world is just my hobby so I'm sorry if I get something wrong too, the Casimir effect actually is the result of the non/less existing quantum fluctuations which is simply pushing two plates togheter because there are more on the outside than in between, what I meant is that for a perfect vacuum you would basically have to make a vacuum chamber small enough to not let any quantum fluctuations fit in between, I have no idea how big this could be maybe as small as just 1 Planck volume...

Uh as I recall they couldn't test that Myth even though they wanted to. But I could be wrong

@@LordOstrik I found the Mythbusters video, short version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lVeP6oqH-Qo.html

@@LordOstrik they dont need to test it, its simple physics. The force theyd place on the truck from flapping would be equivalent to their weight

@@sherk3286 i thought birds flew by generating a semi vacume low pressure above their wing wouldn't the low pressure cancel out the doward force??

@@charlesco7413 Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. By generating thrust to lift the birds body it is exacting that same amount of thrust on the truck and air underneath it. At least equivalent to the weight of each bird

If our education system is doing what it's supposed to be doing, then at a highschool level, a person should be able to gander the answer. Alas, school these days isn't about teaching facts and hard sciences, it's taken over by the new religions who are more intolerant of facts than the last religions to ruin schools.

Yup, cant unsee it now

Just why?

@Howdy Justice how about you watch the video instead of reading the comments and insult others. It's comment section people have conversations about what they saw in the video. That's why comment section exists. So stop spoiling yourself.

I made you read this exactly

Hmmm yes magnetism but also at a more basic level it's force. I like the observation.

What effect does the default negative charge of earth vs the default positive charge of the atmosphere above have on 'weight'? (or on any experiment like the (metal on a string?) Foucault pendulum or the experiment in the vid above) What does or is gravity in this?

@Howdy Justice to be clear I did an awesome insult but RU-vid deleted it automatically. You are not an adult yet so you are excused.

It was obvious, i came for the vacuum experiment.

i came to watch the whole video.

All of these experiments have to account for gravity as well.

Justin Pyle guilty as charged (I’m very well educated, but not in physics)

The actual fruck man? Do you watch ALL of RU-vid or something?

Molecularly

It is probably you that give the dough a shock. It's most likely the clothes you wear that rub off some electrons on you and they jump off when you touch another person, a doorhandle or apparently the dough. Or, if it's a metal table you're working on, it could be the dough rubbing on the table and then zapping you. It's not dangerous, neither for you... or the dough. It's just static electricity. It's just some electrons getting rubbed off, charging one thing and then discharging on something else to equalize.

@@HansenSWE it's a wood table

​@@melchardcaranto4675 I'm sure it gets annoying after a while, so you could try to discharge the dough on something else before you handle it. Like a large metal spoon with a plastic handle. Just tap it and hold it for a second. If you still get a shock after that, it's probably the fabric you wear. A lot of those synthetic sports t-shirts and stuff can charge you up pretty regularly. Wear cotton. There's plenty of stuff you can do to prevent it.

Wow ! Electric dough . Sounds like something from the 60's . That is puzzling though , if the table is wood , and your not grounded .

Melchard Caranto do you enjoy working in the bakery? If you do enjoy working there then that is all that matters.

It's really really expensive and extremely difficult to engineer. You have to have a superconducting surface that's either the length of your train, which has to be then broken into sections for each car or you have to have one single unit with no cars. The length of such a unit has to be shorter then the radius of a circle of which any curve in your track is a section of so that it can follow the track at speed without derailing, and if you have NO at speed contact surfaces between the track and the train, there's a pretty low limit as to how much lateral movement you can allow the train to have or it will simply get thrown off the field that is essentially your track. Basically, you need long straight track with no curves or turns. You also still have to have some sort of traditional track rail surface because you have to have some way to propel the train and stop it as well. You can use magnetic braking and propulsion to be sure. Either in the track or carried on the train. Doing it in the track is stupid expensive if you want performance that makes it attractive to governments so we are talking speeds over 100 mph and getting toward 300 mph to make this price attractive over cheaper but slower options. Each method has its disadvantages. One, building propulsion into the track is ridiculously expensive. Building it into the train requires a huge power source to be on the train, so either huge batteries or a large generator powered either by traditional fuel sources or nuclear power which is defeating the entire purpose of something like mag lev on one hand and really expensive and possibly dangerous on the other hand. Since we dont have mass producible high temperature superconductors yet, where ever you put your superconductors, you need coolant. And you run into other problems with multi car trains because the breaks between cars produce field gaps in either configuration, field gaps lead to instabilities especially under speed. You have to shore up the gaps with some sort of continuous surface of either magnets or superconductors. This CAN be done but its complicated and expensive. Going with a single long car config with a straight track is much better. This is limited in its applications and its attractiveness. It's actually easier to build the auowr conductors into the train especially in the single car case as it's much easier to cool a smaller amount of superconductors than it is an entire track. But then your have to carry the coolant. Liquid nitrogen is expensive and can be dangerous. a mass containment failure in the passenger compartment would be really really bad and in some cases if the nitrogen displaces the oxygen in the car, everyone could die. This could happen slowly like carbon monoxide poisoning. So you end up building a train with extra steps and more risks and expense. So one way you have to use a lot of superconductors or you have to use a lot of magnets. And then there's mass and speed to consider. the effect described in this video wasn't fully explained. The action of a magnetic field in proximity to a superconductor at critical temperature meaning it's currently capable of super conducting will created heat inside the superconductor. It will raise its temperature. This is a complicated subject but several variables effect what happens. Field strength, mass of both the super conductor and total payload, magnetic flux. If these things become too large, the superconductor can stop being a superconductor. This could be really bad. Kinda like if your airplane stops being an airplane. It's a nice idea but it's really complex to implement. Which is why they arent everywhere.

Rules today have to be nesecary. Reduced

It would take quantum generators to power and if you developed one of them then the same thing would happen to you that happened to Nick Tesla but there's still so many things to over come to make it effective and efficient

@@joerambo4977 what's a "quantum generator"?

@@joerambo4977 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev They exist and there's no need for quantum generators. Whatever that is. It's just not a really economic endeavor compared to other methods of doing the same thing.

No. Temperature can be transmitted via a vacuum. Think the sun to the earth.

Killkor it's such a great illustration of the theory. I completely agree.

@@nowonmetube In the singularity, perhaps Touch: Level 1 - the normal touch (electromagnetic forces keep the atoms separate) Level 2 - chemical reaction (atoms exchange their electrons and form new bonds) Level 3 - nuclear fusion (atomic nuclei fuse together, new elements are made) Level 4 - degenerate matter (the nuclei collapse into neutrons, or the quarks form, f.e. strange quarks) Level 5 - singularity (f.e. black holes) - a.k.a. the perfect touch

@@_Killkor That's a really good way to picture things.

Exactly what I was thinking

Unexpected SCP reference but yeah IG you're right

Me too

I heard the sound so I thought it was just him

I know right

Overall it won't be quicker, since you have to pull a vacuum in the "side chamber" in the first place. But it will be quicker if he uses a bigger pump.

@@Ygr3ku actually, overall it would be quicker because the pump would be working on something useful while he is talking and setting up the test.

@@microdesigns2000 Overall=Looking at the big picture. So ... if you look at the big picture, aka him pumping air out of 2 containers, it's slower than pumping air from only one. Even if you say that he only has to start the pump, setting that second container takes time, thus less efficient. BUT ... if you only consider the time needed for getting vacuum in his useful container using his 2 chamber setup, then yes, it might be quicker.

Same question

Dumb and pointless way of explaining it.

@@Starioshka Newton might, along with me, disagree.

@@multifacetedabnormal4951 It's not wrong but lacking in substance. "Why does the balloon go up" "Because it counteracts gravity" ???

@@Starioshka How is it lacking in substance. The whole spiel of what they said reduces to newton's third law. They gave a long winded explanation for a simple understanding and you say it lacks substance? It's reducing the answer to its simplest terms which is what a good scientist does. And the balloon doesn't counteract gravity. It uses it. That's how we get atmospheric density which is the reason the balloon rises to a point. We even know why it stops moving up. Helium is a lighter substance and thus it floats on top of others until it's stopped. Anyone who says that this is counteracting gravity just doesn't understand the subject matter. My jumping is a counteraction of gravity via work as I'm in a stable density. The balloon isn't. So not only are you wrong: you're wrong twice.

@@multifacetedabnormal4951 You need some more time with reading comprehension mate. You said "the balloon counteracts gravity" I never claimed such a stupid thing.

Isn't that what he did

Fabian Widmann I think it would get heavier when you put the flashlight on , becaause of requoil...

I also dont think energy has a mass...

Yay KRUSER That is true but energy is also equivalent to mass so anything emitting photons would lose mass. This could possibly be detected by weighing a battery before and after draining it, as the battery is the power source of a flashlight.

@@yaykruser Not if you lay it on its side

@@jerry3790 The change in mass from a discharging battery or flashlight is far too little to measure. *mc^2* is a *huge* number.

No

Calm down guyss i think it was a joke +__+

@tyler A hard drive cannot be empty of data. It always contains zeros and ones. Even when the device is clean from the factory, it still contains zeros. So you are not adding anything to it by storing new information. You are only changing its internal state. There can't be an increase in mass by changing switches from position 0 to position 1 and viceversa.

Hr Gwea the *BUT* the small capacitor in phones which stores energy (as in stores electrons) would still increase it by a factor of (1/1860)n

@AxA12, Electrons moving from one part to another in a circuit don't increase the mass of the circuit. Moreover, the total energy inside the phone decreases as the phone is used. It never increases. The only way for the phone to gain mass is by adding energy to it (by charging it), never by storing information, which is just a change of state.

Yo, did you ever get the answer to this? Also, I’m looking into magnetic levitation for my EE, but I need to find equations that describe the relationship between mass /scale and the magnet (be it magnetic field strength etc)

Perihelion77 so what keeps the earth spinning ???🤔

@@CorleoneSoup The Earth has a lot of internal things that are very dynamic and spinning, although the Earth's rotation is not constant, but somewhat variable.

@@CorleoneSoup Inertia. Earth is actually slowing it's rotation speed. One of the major factors for this is the friction between ocean and the ocean floor.

Perihelion77 you know 500 years ago it was absolute that the earth is flat, etc... when did you become omnipresent? cause the text books we learn from are so outdated due to the cost of reprints that we teach old, outdated and just plain false info cause it's cheaper, so I figure no one knows absolutely squat, but hey I'm just a old shaman.

@@justinpyle3415 well. a teacher teaches young kids. they didnt say he should be professor.

Justin Pyle you do realize this is youtube right? And it's very likely that he doesn't have an entire team of people behind these videos, so don't expect it to be so perfect. The videos he makes are more than sufficient to get his point across, I thought this was obvious.

Not me because I would feel sad if he screamed at me :(

He'd be great for pre-school math class.... learn to count by the number of blinks he does in a minute. Matching blinks to every word he says.

I wouldn't increase if the the scale was in between the dead air space where it floats. But the superconductor isnt strong enough to do that.

I'm also kind of clueless about this no-question that's in desperate need of no answer. It would be more interesting to ask whether a bird flying inside a house causes the weight of the house to decrease because the bird is no longer touching the house. The answer is still easy to guess, but at least not so absurdly obvious as the magnetic repulsion thing.

Read the comments from the previous video. There was like a 75 long comment argument about it before I gave up. Some of the theories about why it would be weightless were really funny. I hope they see this video.

I am not as smart as all of you. I was sure it would add weight, but I couldnt explain how. I like learning the hows and whys of things.

@@hrgwea myth busters tested this. The bird weight does not go away. The reason is the downward thrust of the wings that allows the birds to go up transfers weight.

@@aroncanapa5796 He was nowhere near a full vacuum at any point (and timewise way, way off).

@@gbyronpowell I'm not talking about GIT... What are you talking about? You're the type of person that if you saw such device working before your very eyes you'd still deny it.

Yes, exactly correct. Gravity is exerting a force on your body and pushing you down. The ground has to bring up exactly the same force in the opposite direction in order for your body not to fall "through" the ground and be able to stand on the ground. If a ground (eg. quick sand) cannot bring up that force, then there the force of gravity cannot be canceled anymore and you start to accelerate to the center of gravity. The law you are referring to is one of the famous "Newton laws". a) F = m * a b) For every action (=force) there is an equal and opposite reaction. Ond could also argue that the conservation principles are a generalizatio of that one. If a body is motionsless or in uniform linear motion AND we know that there is a force acting on that body, then we have to conclude that there must be another force somwhere which counteracts the first force. Because otherwise the sum of those forces would not equal out to 0, and as the first Newton principle tells us, if there is some remaining force that would lead to an acceleration. But an acceleration is a direct contradiction to the observation, that the body is motionless or in uniform linear motion (which both means: unaccelerated). We know a) the body (doesn't matter if it is a superconductor or not) is motionless b) we know, that the force of gravity is acting upon it therefore we know, that there must be a force counteracting the force of gravity.

Views make the money so they have to be checked more than just likes

Yup.

The (kinetic) energy used to swing up was gained in the swing down part of the swing. So if there were no losses of energy due to friction, a pendulum would swing forever. But of course there is no such thing as frictionless or losses of energy. (With "loss of energy" meaning: eventually converted to heat in some way) The principle of "conservation of energy" is one of the strongest and most important principles in all of physics, technics or engeniering. No one can circumvent it. If you think you did, you only did not watch closely enough to figure out where the energy went or came from. If you search where some energy might have gone, start with the observation that heat can be seen as the wastebucket of energy. So if your measurements show some unexpected imbalance of energy, check what parts in your experiment get warmer - there is your misssing energy.
