Hey guys welcome to this science experiment. Today we're gonna do this cool thing that
this guys showed me. Y'all remember Zeke? Yeah! He did some videos with us. Go check
out those right there. (music) It's time for a science experiment. (end music). This one
you need a neodymium magnet, otherwise known as a rare earth magnet, and an aluminum pipe
or if you have a copper one it'll work just find, just costs a little bit more. So as
you probably already know, magnets do not attract to aluminum or copper. This experiment
all you're going to do it take the magnet and drop it into your pipe. That took a while.
Yeah! It did. This is cool, so we have Zeke's son here who has never seen this before, and
we want to get his reaction. Drop this and watch the magnet as it goes down the pipe.
Whoa. Ohh my gosh. Isn't that cool? It doesn't touch the sides, it's like it slows it down.
Haha. Still looks pretty cool. Ohh yeah! That looked nice! (Laughter) That's so cool! Yes!
Go ahead. So here's what's going on here. Zeke! When you pass a magnet through a coil,
it produces electricity. Magnets have a magnetic field, and electricity has an electric field.
Basically what a pipe is, is a coil wire with an infinite number of loops in it. Now, the
number of looks and the strength of the magnet determines how much electricity you're going
to produce. Now we don't have a beginning and an end to this pipe, so we have no where
to check for electricity or anything, but we know it's present. When we drop the magnet
down the coil, or the pipe, if you will, it produces an electric current. Now here's the
opposite of that: When you pass electricity through a coil, you get a magnet. So as the
magnet is falling down the tube, your constantly creating electricity and that electricity
is then creating a magnet which grabs onto the neodymium magnet as it falls. And that's
why it goes so slow. If you want to see the behind the scenes of this video, make sure
to check out that video right there. It gets pretty crazy between us two here. We'd also
appreciate it if you followed us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. And if you want to

a good Thumbs Up! Thank you guys for watching and thanks for being Shiggity Shank! Do you
know what that means? What? You're attractive. (Laughter). I used that one all through college.
Did it get you anywhere? I didn't get married until after college. In the ferrofluid video,
I asked you guys would you rather right Mike Tyson or Talk like Mike Tyson. And the winner
of this Would you Rather was ... Talk like Mike Tyson. Looks like some of you guys are
scared to put up a fight. Alright, this video;s would you rather. Would you Rather, be stuck
24 hours on the top of a ferris wheel or be stuck upside down on a roller coaster for
two hours? Click the picture to cast your vote. Once you do that it'll lock in your
answer and it'll take you to my channel page and you can watch some more of our other videos.
Definitely appreciate that. If you want to watch some behind the scenes of this video,
make sure to click that video right there in the middle. I'd definitely appreciate that
as well. And if you like our videos, make sure to click that subscribe button. We definitely
appreciate that! Thank you guys for being so awesome and thanks for being so Shiggity
Shank!
