Perpetuum mobile 2

Another “perpetual motion machine”?

Two magnets plus an iron core and a magnetic projectile ITSELF moves in a copper spiral?

Of course not!

The “iron core” is not just a piece of iron, but a device with a battery that generates powerful electromagnetic pulses that create eddy currents in the coils of the spiral, whose magnetic field, interacting with the magnetic fields of two permanent magnets, pushes the “projectile” in a certain direction.

If a compass is placed near the “core”, its arrow, of course, will take a position along the field created by two strong permanent magnets. But, at the same time, it will either tremble or turn sharply under the influence of a pulsed magnetic field created by the “filling” of the core.

But the toy is funny!

P.S.

A very IMPORTANT “Subtlety”: Eddy currents CANNOT occur in an open circuit.

And in the photos and in the film, an obvious SPIRAL is visible. So, HOW can Foucault eddy currents arise in it, UNCLOSED???

But it is enough to look closely to see that the coils of the spiral are in contact with each other! And, thus, they form a system of CLOSED rings, in which Foucault currents arise, creating their own magnetic fields!

If you make a spiral out of an INSULATED WIRE, there will be no movement of the “projectile”!

I purposely did not publish this IMPORTANT addition right away in order to see the reaction of readers.

NO ONE has MADE ANY CRITICAL COMMENTS about eddy currents.

They read THOUGHTLESSLY,

It’s sad, girls!
