3 Amazing Magnetic Accelerators | Magnetic Games

Merci !

Feel like I'm watching the most innocuous 'how to build a gauss cannon at home' tutorial, lol...

forgot everything else, was that wooden contraption built just for separating magnets?! that's the real star of this video

One should not forget that the kinetic energy of the "bullet" is the same energy one needs to "push" the bullet through the magnetic tube. Also the dumbell-styled roller was slightly pushed, or the floor was tilted. There is no way you can use it to make a perpetual motion machine, but it's fun to play with.

Now all you need to do is make it into a circle and create a mini black hole

Always loved playing with magnets as a youngster. I remember hearing something about the Navy and an electromagnetic railgun or something like that. I can see how the concept manifested. This is brilliant!

The thing about a railgun, or socalled Gauss-gun is that they can turn on and off the magnets in succession to force the projectile forward at insane speeds. Unlike this, where a slight power is pulling them backwards in addition, causing a slower velocity all-around.

The "clicks " are sooo satisfying

So satisfying, to see you working with those sweet little powerful magnets.

There's just something so satisfying about the clean cut metal and not a single speck of dust on them either. Amazing

this is the type of content i want, when i was younger i used to play with magnets, I'll do it again if i had some

I would make a copy of the first design and combine it with the thinner sections facing each other. The roller part would bounce back and forth!

3:38. Literally just invented a low power rail gun. Why do I only find cool stuff like this at 3 am?

Simply amazing things we could do with magnets...

The "projectile" tube at the end is basically how particle accelerators work (though not with permanent magnets but powerful electromagnets). In that case the magnets are continuously "flipped" in their polarity so that the particle gets pulled AND pushed as it travels along. Anyway, I think the shorter you make your projectile, ie closer to a sphere the better it will travel, though it'd help if some math were applied to the distances.

Quite impressive that such basic magnets are capable of pushing something at such speed

2:56 lmao did he think it would go flying like a bullet? 🤣

I was flipping around on Twitter and was drawn to this video because it reminded me so much of something. When I was about 15 years old, I invented a subway system that looked a lot like the magnetic accelerator at the beginning of your video. Imagine a subway that had a giant plexiglass tube stretching from end to end instead of train tracks. Placed evenly along the entire length of tube were big ring magnets. It would look exactly like your magnetic accelerator. The subway train would be suspended on a rail in the center of the tube and it would be hung from the tube by couplers attached to ball bearings so that the train would glide easily along the tube. I think it would work! Try making a model of that. I would love to see it in action!

will be possible to construct a circled construction with something to make circles forever after a first small push? In this case, will be possible to put on the middle a metalic wire "spiral" around a stick, so it produces electricity on the two edges of the wire when the magnet is circling around? In this case, will be possible to place the circling construction in a hole inside the wall, connect with the light of the room, and the switch outside to trigger the circled movement, and the switch to stop also the movement?

Bro casually built a partical accelerator💀💀
