I like to analyze the physics of science fiction, and so I'm going to argue that the Merrie Melodies cartoon “Compressed Hare” takes place in the far future when animals rule the world. I mean, Bugs ...

There are so many cool things to look at in this clip from Breaking Bad. All you need to know is that there are some guys in a truck next to a police building with some evidence in it. The truck guys ...

Why did the 40,000-pound superconducting magnet cross the country? The full answer to this twist on the old joke is complicated, but here's the short version: to unlock the secrets of the atom.

In this video, I demonstrate the process of creating a magnetic chuck, which I’ll use as an electromagnet vise. The video includes detailed operations and materials used throughout the build: - 2:14: ...

One year ago, the 50-foot-wide Muon g-2 electromagnet arrived at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois after traveling 3,200 miles over land and sea from ...

Why did the 50-foot-wide electromagnet cross half the country? To help physicists discover new subatomic particles, of course. Mounted atop a 64-wheel trailer, a massive superconducting circular ...

What is an electromagnet? What does electromagnetic mean? How do electromagnets work? Electromagnets use an electrical current in order to produce magnetic poles. The operate just like permanent ...

Invented in 1824 by the British physicist William Sturgeon, electromagnets are a fixture of modern life, appearing in loudspeakers, motors, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, maglev trains, ...

The lifting electromagnet article I posted years ago (https://www.codrey.com/electronic-circuits/lifting-electromagnet-diy/) has been more popular that it should have ...

The 50-foot-wide electromagnet for the Muon g-2 experiment has completed its five-week journey from New York to Illinois. For the last three nights, a big rig has traveled slowly down the roads of ...

Magnets like this one are great at picking up metal objects like these, but once you pick them up how do you let them go? For that you need a special type of magnet – an electromagnet. Magnetism and ...

UPTON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP)-- New York and Chicago are only about 800 miles apart, but moving a 50-foot wide electromagnet between the two metropolises will require a journey four times that long. The ...
