So many videos I watch on eddy current experiments only explain how they create a repelling magnetic field. However, they can create an attracting field too... Time to tell about both possibilities.

In my new video, I dig deeper into the eddy current effect by exploring the magnetism of aluminium. Even a mundane drink can will demonstrate the two different magnetic reactions of aluminium.

I also test how cylinders made of different elements roll off a magnet. Can you guess which element rolls of a magnet the slowest: Aluminium, copper or silver?

Find out in my latest video!

Monster magnet meets aluminum can...

Is aluminium magnetic? The simple answer is no. But in this video, I will show how aluminium actually will react in two different ways to a magnet. Using strong magnets and sensitive setups, even soda cans will have visible reactions. Do you know both of them? And can you guess which element will roll off a magnet the slowest: Aluminium, copper or silver? 200x50 mm disc magnet, 50 mm sphere magnet and one of the 150x50 mm disc magnets donated earlier by https://www.magnetportal.de/ My Patreon-page: https://www.patreon.com/Brainiac75 Old video of mine on eddy currents: https://youtu.be/QJyWaliROPo Old video on how to improve eddy currents experiments: https://youtu.be/nz9N_RlFloM Did you miss one of my videos?: https://www.youtube.com/user/brainiac75/videos FULL MUSIC CREDITS Time codes: 0:01 + 11:07 "Long Note Three" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) ISRC: USUAN1100424 Time code: 0:58 "Energizing" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) ISRC: USUAN1900040 Time code: 2:12 "Fluidscape" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) ISRC: USUAN1100393 Time code: 4:36 "Perspectives" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) ISRC: USUAN1300027 Time code: 8:25 "Adding the Sun" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) ISRC: USUAN1900041 All music above licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Time code: 7:56 Mix of two tracks: 1) The Shimmering by fran_ky (freesound.org/s/237363) Licensed under Creative Commons 0 license 2) "Spacial Harvest" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ ISRC: USUAN1100653 #Magnet #SodaCan #DrinkCan
