Ok this is just too cool.

Here's another video.

i am assuming the thicker the copper pipe, the better this effect works, because there are more electrons to generate the counter magnetic field that resists the force of gravity.

neat!

So what happens when you run the copper through the magnet.

one of two things that might happen:

1. you and things that are in a 10' circle will go back to 1985
2. black hole effect



also something that i deal with everyday, that relates to your question, have you ever cut up a speaker?

So it's like dividing by zero...good to know.

yes. they are surprisingly simple. and if i remember correctly, i do not remember where, but there was some article or show on the speaker. and they said that since its invention way back when, the speaker is one of the least changed modern electronic device. they have not really found a better way to make a speaker or a better type than basically an electro magnet and a diaphragm. they only real accomplishment they said was to be able to make them very small.

anyone else recall this? or am i just blowing smoke?

Yep, I tried it at work this morning.8 inch long piece of 1.5 inch copper pipe and some magnets holding a calendar to the wall. Didn't work, must need those rare earth magnets.

I nabbed some of those magnets from my wife's stash and brought them to work. I have a piece of copper pipe about 2 feet long. I started wondering if it was going to ever drop out of the pipe. I will bring it out to the OKC Eat and Shoot Saturday if anyone wants to play with it.
