Kool Stuff VeProject
Did you get this off youtube?
Can this stuff be used for anything other than a talk piece like people put on their fireplace mantle? I see so many of these fun things and wonder why they have not been put to any practical use in the last say 6000 years?
Any thoughts on why we are the first people to decide it means something?
Maybe when gravity is taken into consideration this magnet car principle stops?
Ya know like if we put magnets on a wheel and tried to rotate it using this idea.
I am trying to think of ways that might make this magnetically driven car into something that is useful. If cars were built like this we might need to make them out of non metallic structures so as not to inhibit the magnetic forces?
It seems like someone would have used this magnetic car principle on a skate board by now if it indeed does work.
Any thoughts on why we might be the first people to decide this should be a working principle applied to practical engineering?
I have not tried this yet. Have you tried this? Or is this a video you found on the web? Or is this really a first hand experiment done by you and this is you in the video?
I know this is a long line of questioning for such a playful suggestion.
We first must establish who is the author and the purposes that the investigator had in mind.
You are dealing with inquisitive minds, investigators also, who are unwilling to spend time on anything less than something having a basis for concrete facts.
I could use these tiny experiments for my children for learning science. We home school and when i saw these video's I thought how nice it would be if this was not a hoax, so i could give the children these simple blocks and spools to learn with.
Sorry about the rant I had changing the subject on your thread.
The experiments you show seem excellent at least for children?
Only if you can actually verify that they do work first hand.
