Sorry, I just took your link with the time code and cropped the unnecessary url to get it to work for you Ped. It works and starts at the van de graff for me. :thinking:
 





I can still see it and it starts with an automatic domino stacking mechanism for lining them up to be pushed over knocking all over in sequence.
 
That video is hilarious. Very funny, Tero. Is there more of it, or was that the whole thing? I guess I'll have to go hunting. :crackup:
 
I don't get it. If the whole idea was to just stick these two magnets together, they sure went about it in a circuitous manner.
 
I would place them in a nonmagnetic cylinder at opposite ends. Then, if you wanted to control the force they came together I would add very smooth, lubricated slats that could be removed by force against the cylinder. I'm sure I could come up with a different way, but that should work better than wood and plastic.

After some thought your method might work but it's still complicated because it requires many parts. A variation that would work in theory using your idea would require two parts: the cylinder and high tensile rope in place of the slats.

Another method could be had if one could weld rings to the outside faces and using a hydrolic jack, bring them closer together until they just touch.

Interesting and complicated. You need a welding machine, rings and jack. When I asked how you would do it my question implicated a method simpler than Brainiac used. Be that as it may the method recommended is a wedge of wood.
 
Yeah, I didn't get the reasoning for doing this in the first place. If I had two of these magnets, I would want to keep them separated. You could do much more with the magnetic field set up by two of these than just one bigger one. An air filled plastic bag that was lubricated could be used to get them close, then removed. Still makes little sense to me.
 
Very cool Chris, nice vid & nice build too.
Might have to try this.

:thanks:
 
What a brilliant wavelength, that video showed it off well. :)
Now if you thought oncoming beams look bright, did you know laser beams look brighter here in the UK, and even more so where I live? :whistle:
That would make for some serious beamshots. :D
