Future” trilogy, Bob Gale, stated that he imagines “the hover board floats on a magnetic field similar to magnetic levitation trains.” (Dougherty, 2014) But in reality, this is a difficult notion due to something called “Earnshaw’s Theorem,” which states, a collection of electric charges or magnetic dipoles cannot be maintained in a stable stationary equilibrium condition by the application of static fields alone. Simply meaning, that opposing magnets are tough to balance. In March 2014, comedy

Diagram 1 Diagram 1 Magnetic fields are everywhere any item that uses a magnet generates one. The magnetic field of a magnate can be likened to the lines of magnetic flux which are basically the amount of magnetic field an item has. You can demonstrate the lines of flux through the iron filings experiment where you place a magnate in a dish of iron fillings and it will show the line of flux (see diagram 1 ) The lines of flux flow from the South Pole to the North Pole within a material where as

Here we are introducing a simple DIY science project for students or hobbyist – Maglev Train. Magnetic suspension, Maglev and Magnetic levitation are an approach by which a thing or any object is hanging without any support apart from the magnetic fields. This magnetic levitation approach is utilized for designing this simple maglev train. Actually the original maglev trains are very complex in design, but here we try to design a simple maglev train, which uses some permanent magnets, cardboard or

The April 1897 drilling of the Nellie Johnstone No. 1 oil well marked a seminal moment in the development of what would become the state of Oklahoma. Glasscock’s history examines the peopling of Indian Territory following the removal of Native American tribes to the region, and the subsequent discovery of oil on lands allotted to those tribes during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In the book’s final chapter, Glasscock concludes that Oklahoma’s history is illustrative of the “astonishing

C.E.R, How Does The Magnet Cannon Work? - Jack McWilliams The contact force from ball ‘d’ pushes ball ‘e’ to fire, which causes the magnet cannon to fire. In our physics unit, we worked with magnet cannons and free - body diagrams. A magnet cannon is a chain of metal balls that are all connected to the magnet while ball ‘a’ shoots at the magnet which makes ball ‘e’ shoot out with a huge amount of force. We used a slow motion camera to experiment what happens to the rest of the balls when ball ‘a’

“Are you guys twins?” “How does it feel to have a twin” “Can you read Each other’s minds?” Questions a twin is used to hearing daily. Who wants to talk about being a twin all day? No one . For decades twins have been stereotyped. Society is so fascinated by twins due to them have being so rare “only about two percent of births resulted in twins just a couple of decades ago (OSDELL)”. Although people may have created an image of twins and how they're “supposed to be” they are mistaken in some ways
