We explain the principles behind magnetohydrodynamics or MHD. Then, we set up several demonstrations.
Wow. I'm going (back) to college to become an engineer and I feel as if I've struck gold with this channel! This sort of stuff is really exciting, and to hear someone so knowledgeable explain it in such an intuitive manner is simply awesome. Thanks for doing what you do, please keep it up!
Nice work. Just a FYI given your sound technology. If you take just the center of a magnet and vibrate same near any plastic or glass it will loose weight, also if you vibrate the center of a magnet at the correct frequency!! into a granite rock it will become soft as long as you use copper tools, you don't want to use iron it will disrupt the center field. (Check out Coral Castle Florida on YOUTUBE) All his generators pushed the center of a magnet into the earth. I call it the "B" field. WE got hooked on North and South poles back in the iron age , Like Tesla said you have got to look at things you can't see
He covered aspects that was just glossed over in my engineering course, and explained them thouroughly . Well done .
You're a fantastic, pragmatic teacher and physicist. We need more like you teaching physics (not mere math) to the next generations. Thank you very much sir!
this is the kind of dad everyone needs. his depth of knowledge is absolutely mind boggling. I appreciate you and share your channel as often as i can.
Thanks, that really helps!
My thoughts exactly, but I'm 51 so I guess it's too late.
@Tech Ingredients eric laithwaite continued. I love it👍👍. Continued and investigated deeper and wider
I have no professional interest in this field, but my curiosity has me subscribing to your channel. Thank you for the work that you do. This is super fascinating!!
what a time we live in... this high level wizard is just giving knowledge out for free.
Indeed, he's the Mr. Wizard of our age.
Better than Eric Dollard even?
Knowledge was always free. Back in my day, we had this building called a library.
And people wonder why they are in the debt of colleges... six figures deep.
...all they had to do was a simple youtube search...
A very humble man could have filled them in for free.
Society needs to come to terms with things that can be learned for no monetary exchange.
Just because you didn't pay for it, doesn't make it any less real.
The way he explains everything is so simple and understanding it’s incredible. I learned a lot even I’m the first minute haha. You are amazing sir thank you for doing this, keep up the good work I appreciate your work.
Your ability to easily explain these concepts & complexities is outstanding!
This is still one of my all time favorite demonstrations. Would have loved to see the rail gun. Keep up the amazing work!
Your work is well placed, exceptionally knowledgeable, and you bring great honor to your family.
I finally grasp the whole theory of a rail gun totally and I want to thank you for explaining another concept that has elude me for yrs. The contain that your shows are the very best, Thank you and please keep them coming. I have learned so much more then I would have ever imagined possible. I'm hooked !
Not the first channel to do a series on railguns, but probably the channel with the greatest chance of being highly successful and educational. Hyped!
you are awesome! Thank you very much for all the effort you put in explaining all this concepts. Im far away for understanding all this but I'm glad this channel exists :)
MHD is incredible, you're experiments and explanations were well done. The Hunt for the Red October was the first thing that came to mind!
Yet again, I am excited to learn more. You guys are working on all kinds of amazing things.
Most educational and professionally presented. The lab demos were great ! Thankyou
You manage to sprinkle entirely new pieces of knowledge into something I have heard a hundred times. Awesome.
I've "said" it many times before and hope to be able to repeat it many times again, this type of content is what redeems and shows the true potential of YouTube and "Internet" in the sea of mediocre and outright bad (harmful?) content that seems to be the "norm".
Thank You for being such a great source of educational and inspirational content.
Best regards.
Those who seek science will find it, as will the ones that seek entertainment.
The content on youtube and it`s popularity, is a reflection of society, not youtube itself ;)
The sad thing is any time I try to look something up on Google, the first page never has anything useful anymore. You get a table of irrelevant questions with answers from sites that aren't credible, Instructibles that will probably kill somebody and top 10 sites and other such garbage. They need a version of Google for academics that filters all of that stuff. I'm sure they have one for academic journals, but I want a wider range of content. A search engine that understands technical terms without trying to tell me I meant to search for something else would be nice, too. Or at the very lest, a search filter to return more educational content than enertainment wuld be nice.
Perhaps but this project is unfinished and nobody knows why we haven't seen the second half, the PRESTIGE so to speak...
@Silvers Rayleigh Like others, I would guess success has stopped the follow up posts. There are serious interests who do not want weapons tech that out performs archaic guns in the public domain. One of the biggest problems that hinder rail gun deployment is the huge current demand. He's replaced it with magnets (something Distinty detailed). Next he identified the issue of unlimited discharge rates. And controlling the ringing with properly balanced inductors and capacitors naturally have that create real problems. Then, with his skillset, he probably discovered the amplification of power that happens with high voltage and frequency control. And now, you have a double threat. A weapon that out performs any chemical based weapon and does not require a lot of energy, or makes it too. Of course his day job may have shut him down as a result, or just because...
@Mundy Morning Report ... He was developing a caterpillar drive .. silent submarine propulsion... Its too fascinating .. I can never get over how these magnets can propel sea water... I want one for personal use while diving :) Or a UAV ... And in that your right about it being sensitive bc of its potential value. ... So sad....
I wish I had found your channel a long time ago. You put out great material.
Even before I watch this video my first thought was the hunt for red October. I hadn't read the book but it's one of my favorite movies. this guy really did a good job of explaining things that the average joe like me might not have understood otherwise.
I am always impressed by the amount of preparation you do for your videos. Both practical and informational. And I love how you explain everything. Keep up the good work. With kind regards Thomas
Thanks!
This was a fascinating video! Thank you so much for explaining all of this!
This was an astonishingly crystal clear presentation. Such nice ways of explaining, perfect
Love your videos and the "hold no jargon" engineering speak you use. I'm an ME by degree, and this channel just hits my nerd button like no other. Thank you for making these and I CAN NOT WAIT to see what you come up with for your railgun! I wanted to do one for my Sr Design project.
WOW! Impressive and I am awestruck for sure! The projects are awesome but your explanation of theorems and details is what makes you the Man to watch! Thanks again and keep them coming.
You've got a skill for explaining complex concepts clearly and concisely. You'd make a great lecturer.
I like how you explain things in every day language. Very impressive work. Looking forward to more videos on this subject.
Thank you for these excellent demonstrations and explanations! Seeing the effect in action makes it much easier to understand. I will stay tuned.
Nice setup and the thyristor reminded me of my old Navy days when we started replacing thyratron tubes with early versions of thyristors. New tech wasn't nearly as reliable then but sure did improve my radars performance when the system worked well. My PFN bit me once after the so-called Eggspurt in my shack told me he gave up on trying to repair my radar . Eggspurt said he discharged my PFN but he clearly didn't . I flew across the room quickly and awoke about 20 or 30 minutes later.
Very nicely explained. I had always wanted to see a real demonstration of MHD since a talk by an Oxford professor when I was 17. I understand the theory but its great to see it in action. And for what its worth, you are a very exceptional teacher. The explanations were clearer than during University studying Physics, the speed was much faster so it was less boring, and your obvious interest in the subject is infective. Honestly I wish you were my tutor during my time at University and I can see your subscriber count and reach shooting up as people discover you. Its a niche, a proper explanation of Physics (rather than pop-culture explanations) but its one you do amazingly well. I like to give some constructive criticism to those I like, its always nice to get better, but I genuinely can't think what to suggest here.
I think I Love you
I love smart women
@hoobaguy you're doing gods work. Keep at it , too many simps running around
Brilliant demonstration. I once built a rail gun, a small one, using a coil wrapped around a brass tube and 4 large capacitors like this one you are using here. The firing mechanism I used was a very high amp relay that was connected to the capacitors in order to discharge them into the coil. It worked pretty well using a small screwdriver tip as the projectile.
I actually made a small hole in a plasterboard sheet from around 10 yards. You got me thinking again with this great video. I might dig out the components from my garage and rebuild it. You have a fascinating channel here.
I am very interested in seeing what becomes of your railgun. I saw the video in which you position the magnets into the housing already, had to come back and watch this one and looking forward to seeing the continuation of this endeavor.
Thank you. Your channel is extremely informative. You are an excellent teacher.
Thanks again for another fascinating presentation. Love your shows.
Awesome as always! Best science channel that I have ever found!
Hands down the best most detailed explanation of basic current and how a motor works that I have ever seen in my life. I think I just found my new favorite channel
Exceptional video as always love your content! Instantly feel smarter after every video!
So much potential with such little power. and so well explained. thank you sincerely!
The level of genius in your head is mind boggling. I am enjoying every subject you talk about. Your demonstrations are very easy to understand because you explain it so clearly. Are you a professor or scientist by profession?
Great demonstrations and great explainations! Learned a lot!
Very good presentation would be nice if a diagram of the channel you built was shown so the potential student would capture the B vector and H vector and sort of apply the RH rule that you show on the prototype channel
I watched the whole 28:35min... love this content.... every example and topic is explained in a super easy way anyone can understand... AWESOME!!! This channel deserves a LOT more subscribers ohhh yeaaahhh!!!
I’m excited waiting for the next videos mate =]
Thanks! Their on the way.
I have found that I can watch his videos at 1.5x speed with no loss of intelligibility. This saves a lot of time. I can watch a 30 minute video in 20 minutes!
Oops ... grammar my friend ... THEY are on their way, or They're on the way ...
McKenzie Keith I think people would watch my videos at 0.50 speed to slow down a bit hahaha
0.25 more like
Seems potentially useful when you want to propel a boat slowly without noise or turbulence, such as for fishing(to not scare the fish away) or for scenic, quiet canoe trips/wild-life viewing expeditions. Powered by solar.
Fascinating info!
I still don't know your name but you are very impressive with your knowledge and how you roll it off in a way that keeps the interest peeking without getting too bogged down in details.
I look forward to seeing how this project develops!
As I was watching, electrostatics came to mind. Namely, is there a way that can be devised to concentrate electrostatic fields to very high levels very quickly? Probably not with our bearskin and stone knives technology, but one day we may develop materials that will let us do it. Some kind of "ultra dielectric" and a way to pack a charge into a super-condensed tiny area very quickly.
that was very interesting! have you done anything with making the rail gun lately?
I didn't think this was possible, but after you explained it so thoroughly, it makes sense. Great video!
Thanks!
Wow. You can explain all this so clearly! You really deserve much much more views and subscribers!
Thanks!
Share these videos and let people know. That will help a lot!
Thank you for once again producing amazing, well explained content!
This is my favorite video on the internet. Thank you so much for your thorough explanations.
