PMD by Scotty
Another great example by Scotty of his PMD and a 23lb weight he made.
Keep experimenting!
Keep experimenting!
A change is approaching!
My original intention of this site was to spread the word on Edward Leedsklanin's magnetic current and to provide interesting observations on coral castle and things related to magnetic current. I have come to realise when speaking to people on the topic that most of my original illustrations are not accessible any longer. I always intended to re-illustrate them with corrections , so my apologies if you purchased anybodys publications that have my incorrect illustrations in them. I plan to re-do this whole site - or link it to a new site. And whilst blogger has worked well it might be time to use another platform. Where I will start from is the very beginning ... page.1 and move on from there. With your help and observations I will make corrections where necessary. I hope everyone gets involved in following and doing the experiments for themselves. Stay tuned..
Under a large magnetic field, iron becomes magnetized. It is the same principle that allows us to store data on magnetic media. That is why the weight does not fall. Either the U-shaped rod or the disc, or both, have become magnetized from such a strong electromagnet.
ReplyDeleteWork only occurs when a force causes a displacement along the direction that the force is being applied. If nothing is moving, no work is being done, even if you detect current going through the wire. The energy in that current is being transformed into heat rather than work. In the experiment, neither the magnet, the rope, nor the roof beams ever perform any work because although they are exerting a force, no movement is generated.
