🔬#MESExperiments 55: Faraday's Paradox using Individual Magnets https://peakd.com/hive-128780/@mes/fa262e25 & https://youtu.be/VNCh1VvIrRU

In this experiment I once again demonstrate Faraday's Paradox, this time showing that rotating a strong magnet with a drill about it's polar axis doesn't move individual football shaped magnets. Each magnet is placed on a polished low friction glass mirror surface, and the football shape allows the magnets to freely rotate. Moving the strong magnet attached to the drill laterally easily moves the magnets, but rotating it barely even nudges the smaller magnets. This suggests that the magnetic field does not rotate about a spinning magnet.

🔬#MESExperiments 54: SpillNot Centripetal Tray https://3speak.tv/watch?v=mes/863a9706 & https://youtu.be/eeQXcD3j4kE

In this experiment I showcase the amazing SpillNot centripetal waiter's tray, whose circular motion can balance a cup of water without spilling it over, even while performing a full 360 degrees upside down! The SpillNot works on the principle that circular motion involves a centripetal force that brings the tray back towards the centre of the circular motion — this results in the cup of water experiencing a normal force far directly onto the tray, which far exceeds the downwards force due to gravity. The most astonishing part is that even a straw placed in the cup barely even experiences any slight nudge as it moves at rapid speeds. I also place my phone in the tray with both front selfie camera and rear camera views to further illustrate this amazing phenomenon!

🔬#MESExperiments 53: Synchronization of 32 Metronomes https://3speak.tv/watch?v=mes/718150d8 and https://youtu.be/a7Nwrt3O1JQ

In this video I have uploaded the famous synchronization of 32 metronomes experiment from the Ikeguchi Laboratory in Japan on September 14, 2012.

🔬#MESExperiments 52: Magnets in Repulsion Bridge Drop Tests https://youtu.be/ZhrCJXM9DP4

In this experiment I drop magnets in repulsion vs a nonmagnet from a bridge of about 29 feet high, and got similar drop times for both with no significant difference. I did 10 drop tests while alternating hands to mitigate any inherent bias and still got similar times.

🔬#MESExperiments 51: Magnets in Repulsion Atwood Machine Balcony Drop Tests https://youtu.be/IcGo9mooyo8

In this experiment I repeat the Atwood Machine drop tests but this time do it from my balcony at a height of about 14 feet. Surprisingly, the drop tests show no significant difference for the nonmagnets, magnets in attraction, or the magnets in repulsion.

🔬#MESExperiments 50: Magnets in Repulsion Atwood Machine Drop Tests https://youtu.be/yN3-H1AzdgQ

In this experiment I measure the drop rates of magnets in attraction, magnets in repulsion, and a nonmagnet when placed in an Atwood machine with the same counterweight. The magnets in repulsion fell 12.11% slower than the magnets in attraction, while the non-magnet fell 3.64% faster than the magnets in attraction. While not conclusive, these results strongly suggest that magnets in repulsion do fall slower in gravity as Boyd Bushman, senior engineer at Lockheed Martin, had claimed. I will perform this experiment at higher heights in the near future so stay tuned!
