I really can not emphasize enough how extremely grateful I am that you play absolutely no kind of music what so ever while you are verbally instructing and save it solely for interludes and transitions. I really enjoy the clarity of presentation I can absorb especially with my hearing condition. It is like chocolate for my brain.

if every physics lesson in middle and high school had this clarity and narrative quality there would be a lot more physics majors in college. really enjoying this.

Nice! Loading those magnets was definitely a nail-biter! Thanks for mentioning me. I can't wait to see your demos with this setup!

You, sir, are a top notch science communicator- and I don't say that lightly. Can't wait for the next instalment!

Honestly, I think you are the one youtuber that I have ever been this satisfied with in regards to content. Your content is extremely thorough and very very interesting. You go in depth and extrapolate all the variables and interactions. I could not be happier watching your content Sir, thank you for doing what you're doing.

“Get it nice and slimy” *BREATHING INTENSIFIES*

I love that natural way you explain without reading from a teleprompter like in a conversation over a coffee...you are a natural...I bet 1. You are a Physicist, maybe an Engineer 2. You were a teacher.

Thank you for displaying the proper amount of caution while handling those magnets. People need to realize that fingers have been totally smashed or severed by magnets this strong. THESE ARE NOT TOYS!!

Awesome video, your channel and Applied science are 2 of my favorite channels on youtube. Your's are one of the few doing real science and explaining it well

Wow...I'm in awe. So excited to see where this channel is headed, even moreso lately!!! Nice Applied Sci shout-out, too. Didn't know you guys knew each other. A collab would be scary awesome!

I'm glad people mess about and share interesting facts, science and entertainment rather than watching mind numbing TV. Thanks man.

I smiled when I saw that arm-tuck near the end. That's the hallmark of experience.

The thing I've always found most fascinating about magnets is the repelling force you get when you face the same poles of two different magnets towards one another. As a kid I was never happy with just one magnet, I had to have a second one so that I could repel the other. lol, I'd never try and do that with magnets the size of the ones in this video though! 😉👍

Oh yes. Magnets of that size can give you a good workout. Nice to see how well-prepared you are (as always...). Otherwise this would have ended disastrous. Looking forward to more videos on this project!

I love watching a dedicated CRAFTSMAN at work, on ANYTHING, but especially so with MAGNETIC DYNAMICS!! Bravo, sir!!!

Great video bossman, its not every day that you can find technical thinkers like your self that can mentally see things on a complex and extremely detailed manner that most couldn't even fathom. Awesome videos 👍

I just want to say thank you for making these fantastic videos. You are by far the best channel on this platform. You are knowledgeable, thorough, and precise. Can't wait for the next one!

Although scary, this certainly looks far better engineered and thought out than when Brainiac75 combined two 1200kg (2650lb) magnets. That or when the Waterjet channel cut a small neodymium magnet in half and the two halves accelerated apart like a bullet. I'm personally looking forward to more of this project.

Dear fellow, you are truly amazing! Many thanks for your awesome videos. I wish more YT creators would adopt your clear and concise demonstration and narration style.

I agree with a previous poster. You are a very good speaker. No hubris or hubbub. Love the science!

This channel is unbelievable! Thank you for posting the quality videos that you do.

I clicked this at 3 am thinking this would be kind of boring and very complicated. But it was explained super well and definitely interesting.

Pure joy watching this and I did laugh out loud each time the Mantrap snapped those magnets in place, I feel your fear. Thank you!

I found myself really drawn to this channel, the more i watched , the more i was pulled in. Like a moth to a flame. The magnitude was over whelming, you now have a new subscriber.

Dude, I've been deriving the EMF equation for ever and you've enlightened me. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty new at this, but doesn't that configuration resemble an air gap at the moment of flux, even displaying the fringe factor where the fields meet (@ "air gap"). That makes so much sense being the energy is stored is within the gap. So what you seem to have made is a static E core to focus your magnetic field. Nice! I can think of at least 5 applications for that magnetic circuit off the top of my head. Definitely getting a thumbs up and I'm subscribing. Can't wait to see what else you've got going on.

the pucker factor on insertion is off the charts

Thank you sir for educating us on how the concept of magnetic lines being taken into consideration. That representation of magnets behavior based upon the magnetic-lines is very clarifying.

You're a teacher to a million students, this class was awesome.

Dude, I love your videos. I don't know your background but you're a good teacher. Teaching has to do with being able to explain information in a way that others can understand it and I think you do a really good job with that. Personally I just like all your experiments. I wish I had Surplus time and money that I could invest in just saying what if.

What does the Gauss meter say when inserted into the large assembly? That's what we're all wondering :)

I have been working with and studying wind generators and such , this seems to have helped answer some questions and clearified some answers I have had . And of course many more to come

Those magnets are no joke...when I was a teenager, I used to tear down old IBM server drives with 12" - 14" platters in them and they had massive neo magnets in them...surprised I didn't lose a couple of fingers...lol

17:29 Why do I get the impression that he's trying to bolt it down before it becomes sentient and eats every magnet in sight?

No flux meter reading for the big guy? Interested to see what you guys do with this thing.

I have always been infatuated with magnets especially electromagnetic superinduction. There is so much you can do with magnets. High impulse gravitational wave generators have really caught my latest interest! Really looking forward to you finished project.

First off, He used the "B" field of a magnetic in conjunction with a pillar oscillator that was similar to the rock he was working on. Yes all the construction was completed and installed via sound and magnetic waves. He had one critical Pilar on his property that he fed via his "B" field generator. His generator consisted of 25 "V" magnets five deep all in the repel mode!! His "B" field generator would cause the pillar oscillator to kick in. Given the pillar was a resonant source equal to the materials he was working on it made the stone soft like Styrofoam. When you look at his tool marks you can see it was a soft material as he worked on it..

And years later, nothing came out of it...

I would imagine that the gap in your array will, over time, attract and accumulate a lot of ferromagnetic "gradoo". Such undesirables as machine filings, ferrous mineral dust, etc. can really distort your field and are very difficult to remove. Have you made provisions to exclude all the extraneous crud that will eventually make the poles fuzz up?

This channel is the best science curriculum out there, I'm so glad that you are sharing your work and genius and I can't wait to see where this goes! I have learned so much from watching these videos that I can't stop talking about them with my family! Every time I watch one your videos I change my mind about which project I think is the most exciting but I think this is the most awesome one yet and am eagerly anticipating the next instalment. Keep up the good work!

Sort of a large disk drive voice coil magnet arrangement. What amazed me was that the magnets didn't break when they slammed together inside the assembly. Obviously not necessary in this case but maybe some thin padding on the end of each magnet might have been a useful safety feature? Can't wait to see what you're going to do with it.

Another great video. Please consider linking to your other channel/other videos in this series in the description of your video. Lots of people will click through to your other videos.

Any luck on finishing this thing? Perhaps I just overlooked it. I'd love to see what it does with sea water running through it.

Well planed assembly and very good explanation (as always). A joy to watch and learn.

Fascinating, and I finally know why door catch magnets have two steel plates beside them!

Love the over kill jig to load the mags, I got a couple 4" X 2" X 1" N52's...terrifying to hold one of them much less get them within a mile of each other :-)

" I need my non-magnetic wood bar"

I worked in a UK magnet factory for a summer in the late 80s. Neodymium was just coming in. I heard stories of broken fingers assembling filter grids for food processing. One time I was moving a neodymium based magnet around on a pallet truck. When I hoisted the assembly, the truck came with! That was through about an inch of soft pine making up the pallet. I had to jump on it to get it off. It was an interesting summer!

Another topic idea that might be fun to do along these lines is build and demo saturable reactor/magnetic amplifier. I'm thinking about building one to control heat to a boiler of a particular purpose and they actually look quite straightforward. My basic understanding (which could be wrong) is that you wind an inductor in such a way to induce opposing induced fields in the core. When you run an alternating current through it, this essentially shunts the current through the conductor. However, if you induce a magnetic field in the core to the point of field saturation, there is no longer any induction by the AC line and current is able to flow. Intermediate states of saturation of course allow you to vary the current.

Love the content that you and other science UKpostsrs are putting out. If you don't mind me asking, what industries did you work in to learn the myriad of things on your channel, or is it mostly self-taught?

Why not to call video: Magnetohydrodynamics -part 2: strong magnets? It would be easy to find all videos from one series.

I learn something new every episode. Usually many new things. Thanks as always. Great work.

God I am just DELIGHTED that this level of content is still available out here.

This subject has a lot of attraction.

Good Work Earthling , You Are Getting Close

I've worked with those magnets during a pilot program at a wastewater plant for magnetite ballast recovery. They are finger smashers. I'm surprised you were able to get them together without annihilating each other. I saw the remnants of 2 that someone got a little too curious with. Watch your fingers, phones, computers, TV screens..........oh and any credit/debit card. Not sure if they can wipe a chipped card. It was a few years before chipped cards.

The intensity of the magnetic forces present here makes me want to giggle like a madman. Any mad scientist would be impressed by the this.

"The forces here can break fingers" except it's more like exploding your hand as if it were a tomato.

Anyone else have a moment of Bob Ross nostalgia/déjà vu when he started applying the grease.

This is both fascinating and terrifying. Those are some serious magnets you are playing with, great stuff.

I have watched and learned so much from you... Grandmaster of Science is the terminology I used to describe you to others... Thank you

Where's the follow-up video?

A nice and classy intro, I like it!

I am just amazed at the strength of the magnetic box you made Tech Ingredients. Look forward to see more great things from you soon !!!!!!!!

Awesome! Very enlightening, thought out, and explained so even a child can grasp the theory behind this important project ...Thank you

My butt is puckered up soo tight right now. Geesh those magnets are thoroughly terrifying and awe inspiring.

Where's that follow up video? It's been over a year!

You loading those magnets reminded me of separating a stack of 2 inch neodymium discs. Nothing compared to what you were handling, but quite eerie and enough to cut my finger. Scary stuff to work with. Great videos.

Excellent video! I can't imagine how scary it will be to eventually disassemble this magnetic assembly.

"Those are forces!"

FIRST! As is stated in half the comments in every one of your videos: This is by far one of the most informative, substance packed, and serious channels in youtube. You'll get a lot of subscribers in time. Preferably soon.

I believe that the untapped power of magnets hold many secrets to the universe!

It's really interesting that the magnets stick more to the steel than to eachother. I would have expected the bottom and top magnets to clamp together even with that plexiglass space

"Good thing I greased it!"...I've been there brother.

You had me at "Railgun project"...

as always, your explanations are second to none. thank you so much for providing such outstanding content!

man why is this channel so underrated?? this is one of the best channels on the interweb

Ooops, i need glasses !! Thought the title said " Extreme Midgets " lmao !!

So how and when can I signup for the Tech Ingredients graduate school?? This is seriously so interesting

5:56 "...constructing a little magnetic yoke." No, thanks. I don't want all my eggs pointing north! [groans]

This reminds me so much of my classes in particle accelerator physics. It is awesome to see the practice next to the theory! This is an amazing channel

so where can I find the follow up video where you use that magnet apparatus?

It's been one year since this video and I can't find any followup?

Nice work - I've had some very close calls with neodymium magnets - powerful stuff

This channel is amazing. It's like being in a lab with you and doing some real science, many thanks for sharing.

Did he just say rail gun project?!

Magnets, man, How do they work?

I’d like to echo ytfp Chris’s comments. It’s a pleasure to watch such a clear and well presented video.

Subbed - I can't help but respect someone who plays with magnets that strong for applications that cool and most importantly has that much careful safety planning! Good job keeping all your digits!

Speaking of powerful magnetic fields, I don't suppose you can get your hands on some Rebco superconductors, can you?

I'm so jealous of this guy's life... all I've ever wanted in life was to invent and play with science!

25 seconds in to my first video I hear ‘railgun project’ and subbed. This is the exact brain numbing science I need to stimulate that deep satiation love love love

The things I would do to spend a day with you in your shop.... this is fantastic please always continue making videos

That was amazing. I dare someone to thumbs down this video. We will find you and tickle you without mercy until you retract you're wicked deed. Cheers :)

End of the tip where the balls are. Hehe.

Everytime one of those magnets snapped into the next position it made me jump. Awesome video and explanation, thank you!

another great vid... brilliant explanations as per usual!

It's been almost a year and no follow up :(

Wait, after all this, did he never do anything with it? It’s been almost a year.

Yeah, you really remind me of my grade 13 physics/algebra/calculus/functions and finite maths teacher. He instilled wonder in me exactly the same way you do. You are brilliant in the way you walk thru ALL of the steps, explaining in not only detal, but with different analogies to ensure the method gets across to as many people as possible. Fantastic work ! You have spectacular insight into how people learn and I'd say you're the best teacher I've EVER come across sir !

if it wasn't for the analogies I'd be lost. Promiscuous field lines! 100,000 thanks, T.I.! My ability to understand theory is dependant on my ability to visualise a process or structure, just a handful of well chosen words helps unlock a wealth of understanding for me.
