amazing how many people completely misunderstood the video... what is amazing about the video is that it starts and stops, moving in random directions, when he lowers the frequency. this only works if you start it up, get it moving fast, then lower it. yet it's not conserving the momentum. you will see that it comes to a complete stop every time it hits the edge of the coil. so the momentum is not pushing it back and forth. a low frequency, weakly magnetic field is causing a ball to move back and forth in random directions. it is a demonstration of CHAOS. that is what is interesting about the video.
You do realize the setup was not a perfect circle and therefore the magnetic flux will be greater at certain portions of the circle, right? Also, he was holding the object which was acting as a shock absorber. The momentum was transferred to him, and the crazy moment of the ball was due to friction from what it was on and the edges of the device. There is nothing special about this demonstration other than his poor construction.
Raj Torque If it were spinning horizontally then it would be worth noting because that should not be happen. It is spinning vertically which is what we expect.
megamixa thank You! People really should study and learn something about a topic before they start posting that something is wrong. It spins exactly as it should.
Ah, maybe we should tidy this explanation up and put the video description? BUT, I wonder about the "chaos". Is the ball magnetic or no? Either way, it will react "predictably" to the magnetic field, and friction from the slab, air, momentum of the ball, etc - right? Maybe the reaction will be "complicated" but not technically "chaos"?
It's probably because that's actually the Axis the coil IS wrapped around. The ball spins the direction the current flows in, which is actually a horizontal axis which just happens to wrap around a donut-shaped ring. And as it gets close to the edge, that horizontal axis gets stronger closer to the coils, so it spins the way the wire is wrapped around that frame closest to it and it ignores the over-all pattern you've made, which seems to spiral inward around a verticle axis.
the coils are set up in a way to create a magnetic force that curls in onto itself creating a vortex in the center. the metal ball then rotates according to these fields of magnetic force. its simple physics ppl.
Somebody needs to sample this in a song. "I will raise the frequency" *MUSIC BUILDS* He starts counting up. MASSIVE BASS DROP AT THE END OF THE COUNT I may be crazy but I can picture it being fire.
this is a monopole vortex coil, they are meant to be air coils to make the vortex so I'm sure having a ferrite core has affected the vortex and skewed it
And when that happens, the perpendicularly adjacent monopole disrupts the sphere turning it momentarily vertically inclined rhombicosidodecahedron. Yea, I'm just trying to sound smart.
+Jay Gatsby I think he felt like Tony as he build the magnetic copper thingy, in which he placed the sphere...." I MADE MY OWN ARK REACTOR! I AM INVINCIBLE!" - Thoughts of that guy
This is a very interesting video. Back in college I recreated a similar effect with a phase-shifted sine wave @ 26 Hz. After some research I determined that I was dreaming and I never actually went to college. Also what is a vortex coil?
According to conventional reasoning, the ball should be spinning, with the points at its top and bottom remaining in one place while the rest of its mass rotates around an axis running between them. There is a reason that the opposite is observed, but I don't know enough about electronics to explain it.
+xNiitro360 saying plane is also fine, but it would easily create confusion. I understood what he meant anyways. I believe that in Physics, plane means axis, but in a 3 Dimensional sense.
No matter where you go. This video will try to find you and if it did find you, it's gonna follow you for the rest of your life. It might not appear for a couple of months but *IT WILL BE BACK*
Because videos boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Kristy Whalen You want to pick a fight, eh? I suggest that you take your authoritarian ass elsewhere and do something more valuable than being a prick. I can choose to sound stupid if I want to.
Why do you think the sphere would be spinning on the wrong axis? Seems to me it's legit. ...in the center of the coil (in the free zone where you put the steel sphere), you have a circular magnetic field, concentric to the internal coils; such magnetic field is generated by the vertical part of wires, on the inside of the coil (that's the closest wire to the "test" zone). This field will have a different intensity from the center to the border of the free zone, the more intense the closer you are to the wires. The sphere will spin on the same axis as the magnetic field...thus, it will spin around a circular axis, the closest it can to the wires; and the slightest perturbation (such as current direction change) will have the sphere move along such circular axis, changing its spinning axis. If you could block the sphere in the middle of the free zone (maybe using a plastic or glass spherical cage, fixed to the bottom), it would not be able to select one magnetic line parallel to its axis, and would then be forced to follow the circular field... I guess that it would vibrate in a clockwise/counterclockwise direction on the same frequency as your alternate current... so far as the magnetic field induced by electricity is powerful enough compared to the sphere's inertia.
Why do you say the sphere would rotate in the direction of the magnetic field? Assuming the sphere is directly in the center of the toroid wouldn't the net field cancel? This is of course assuming a Rodin coil, which is what this setup looks to me. One side of the coil would cancel the other side, all the way around the circle. I understand to a decent extent electricity and magnetism but I'm quite baffled on this one. I think the wire placement is the cause of confusion here.
In the geometric center of the circle the field would cancel, yes. However, the steel ball is not a geometric point, but has finite dimensions; and at a finite distance from the geometric center, magnetic field is not zero.
magnetic field will approximate to zero, certainly, but the slightest irregularity in the steel ball will move it, and when displaced from the center it will be in a discrete magnetic field... you see, the key is "approximate" + "finite dimensions" + "real, imperfect item". ...in an ideal, mathematical world, a non zero radiius sphere would not tilt on a vertical axis... and a zero radius sphere would not move... but this is real world ;-)
How is it the wrong plane. You can see the plane is skewed by the way the coil is wound... Its spinning on the right plane, as the plane is turned 90 degrees due to the winding pattern. Its obvious man...
you are actually wrong. and so is the other person replying to your ccomment. if you reverse the polarity, the axis will change from horizontal to vertical.
what the hell is going on ? it's been a long time since I took physics but does this have anything to do with "the right hand rule" in electromagnetism ?
See how the wire creates something that looks like a whirl pool? The ball should spin in the direction of the whirlpool but instead it spins the wrong way and instead of spinning like a whirlpool it spins like a car wheel
@@gigabowser2031 no there is no reason to spin in the direction of the whirl pool. See my explnation above this one. Briefly though. The center of the coil has magnetic fields that either point up or point down. No there are no rotating magnetic fields here that would make the axis of spin on the magnetic ball point up and down.
If you switch the from a to B and B to a it will go opposite. Your wires are configure for a vortex spin so it rotates opposite axis to the polarity of the negatively charge ions in the ball.
if you know about vortex coils look into the primer fields and understand the bowls are made with them.. It's been hidden and was supposed to be released but was not
this kind of went a bit over my head. I've read the comments and the description, but I'm no engineer major. would anyone mind explaining it like they're explaining it to a grade schooler?
FishCakeIce no, it's amazing because one would thing that it would spin around the y axis (vertical) but it instead spins around the x axis (horizontal)
Ir0nF1st924 to spin on the Y axis is horizontal, on the X axis is Vertical. Remember that when rotating on axis, the rotation is perpendicular to the axis in either direction.
I think it has to do with that fact that it’s AC, so instead of spinning one way or another, it picks a middle ground and spins perpendicular to the expected axis
why is this the wrong axis? the coil is raised slightly above the mid-height of the sphere, therefore pulling the top towards the coil more that the bottom, causing a spin towards the rim or the coil. this is exactly what is to be expected.
+Chris “LittleBigFamily” Larson I wondered why it would even be considered unexpected too. The ball is spinning in place, and that's not the way tops spin when they spin in place, I guess.
Being someone who's not messed with coils, my intuition is that it would spin clockwise parallel to the surface it's sitting on, because that's how the copper is arranged. And it's interesting that it doesn't do that.
I'm gunna be THAT guy and just say.... PEEPS you gots to brush up on yo' E&M cause .... that's all this is folks. (not that it is the easiest subject matter .. but come on peeps I expected more out of humanity)
I am pretty sure the way of windings is what making it spin that way, because usually the windings are coiled in a circular manner on a horizontal plane
How in the world did I get here from a League of Legends related video? And how does this video have 4 million views? Apparently vague title = lots of curious clicks...
It is expected to spin on the x axis,following the crude coils changing magnetic feild,it should be spinning around the inner circle,it instead is rolling on the y-axis,which it should not be doing but it is.
I wanted an explanation as to why we all clicked on this, why it was recommended, and how it's doing that, if anybody answers all three I will award you.
Pauleon Dinh if you practice using your ability to percieve it, yes. i an percieve the magnetic field and the influence it has, although weakly at this stage, on my hand. try sitting still, relaxed, focussing your awareness n your hands, hold them together as if praying, but with a 5cm gap between, after some time and relaxed focus you will feel things
It would have to be the mother of all magnets to do that because in the human body, there is only enough iron to make a 2 inch nail distributed over the entire person.
+l- -l phpART Motor windings follow the left hand rule So the magnetized bearing will follow the magnetic field and not the current. images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=Left+hand+rule&fr=%26fr%3Dyfp-t-201&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2Fc%2Fcb%2FLeft_hand_rule.png#id=3&iurl=http%3A%2F%2Fimg4.wikia.nocookie.net%2F__cb20090131132303%2Fschools%2Fimages%2Ff%2Ffd%2FFirstlhr.JPG&action=click
The ball spinning with the force of moving forward(electro magnet giving an uneven output) causes an unevenness in friction and momentum causing the ball to spin on a not wrong, but different axis and plane.
No don't feel ignorant, that person knows nothing of these coils. they are the future and can be powered to be monopole which mainstream science has still denied exists
The phenomenon that makes it spin is amazing. And I don't think the sphere was magnetic. There were magnetic fields produced by the current running through the wires. This is the kind of thing that gets electricity to your house, runs appliances, speakers, and all kinds of stuff, dude. You have to appreciate it a little bit.
This works the same as an electric magnet made by coils of copper wire witch do nothing on its own but with a voltage high or low enough for the desired magnetic force will spin the metallic ball on its y axis but what is amazing about this video is that its spinning on its x axis *SCHOOLED* (by a 14 year old and as you can tell I like science)
Why not apply something like This to CAR WHEELS? attach one of these each in an adapted manner, in place of each wheel, and replace that with a kind of sphere which can change speed by changing current etc.
Not to mention the cost, added weight, and the amount of repairs required to keep your sphere a... sphere... 1 pothole and your ..."wheel-sphere" just turned into a magnetic cannon.... like a rail gun or something... but hey, It's not everyday you get 80% through posting a reply before you realize the persons name isn't Senior Swag and it's just Senor Swag...
Senor Swag No, a wheel is a totally different concept. The mechanism involved and the size of the magnetic field you would need to generate would be as huge as it was complex. Tires are simple: The (non-conductive, non-ferrous) material they are constructed of absorbs impacts from the road remarkably well. A metal sphere will not. Even with an exterior rubber surrounding.
Alex Bent Connecting an axle in the middle of the sphere and then run gears, and tires further, that may work somehow. May need some different type of winding around the axle and sphere. But that would be just a primitive experiment, because we know, we have much more stable, advanced technology power efficient motors than that now. :))
i honestly need this sphere to teach me how to go onto another plane. ive been trying it for years but i always seem to get caught by airport security damnit
Everytime he increase the frequency of current the more magnetic field lines were produced through coil and due to interaction with these lines magnetic force produced and acts on magnet to make it spin more fastly... And direction of current through coil decide the axis of rotation of magnet... I hope this will help you to understand..👍
How can you say a sphere has a right or wrong axis?! It's a sphere, there is no up/down/left/right, the axis/plane is just an artificial construct to reconcile your individual perspective on the sphere. It just spins on a different axis than you expected, no right or wrong about it.
The ball cannot spin in the wrong plane or wrong axis. Whatever way it is spinning is the 'correct' way because that is what the sum of the forces acting on it are causing it to do. It can't do anything but follow physical laws. Ever. What it may not be doing is acting in the manner you expect it to.
the electromagnetic field you got there is that of a Torus... so, as the ball moves freely (no shaft holding it to a plane) , the sphere will enter the vertical inner flow of the torus, thus rolling that way. thats my humble, educated guess.
***** Two coils isn't it, driven out of phase. I suspect the sphere was meant to spin horizontally keeping its magnetic field inline with the crude rotating field from the coils.
With the optimal connecting rods in place, a small discourse is to be expected. It's only when you exemplify the auxiliaries that a state of static occurs. I mean, it's so obvious.
The ball is spinning to the plane created by Wire A, and Wire B, and not the total circuit most likely because of cause, and effect. It would be like a plughole at that position that creates a motion at other positions through water, yet the plughole has the strongest force.
