I am new to eng-tips and am aware that promoting anything is prohibited, so I am reluctant to show a video. I do have a video of the 2lb. disc magnet spinning without the copper plate and additional magnet. It can give one an idea of the speed and orientation of the disc. I would ask that if I...
I did it out of curiosity and quite accidentally noticed the effect. I do not have a theory as to why it occurs but am interested in knowing why it happened without any sign of heat.
Correct, no relative motion between the parts. It is being driven by another magnet some distance away. It is at 90 degrees to the driving magnet. I let it spin about 10 minutes before I stopped it. The assembly is held together with grey duct tape and it spins at about 3000 RPM's and rolls much...
