You no longer want billions of dollars and a secret dream to take over the world like Elon Musk to work up an galvanising car . If you may find a duet of orotund magnet and a AA battery that is n’t already stagnant , you canbuild this implausibly unsubdivided electric vehiclethat ’s better than watching TV .
You might be wondering how this gizmo can roll around all on its own without an galvanizing motor but it ’s there ; it ’s just unseeable . This uncomplicated assembly is what ’s known as a homopolar motor which places a conductor inside a magnetic field to bring forth forces vertical to that field .
Did you notice that all the footage of this simple galvanising car was shot with it working on aluminium foil ? That was n’t laid down just to make the television a little more flashy . The foil route in reality serves as a music director between the two ends of the electric battery . And when it end up mixing with the magnetic field generated by the two magnet wheels , there ’s enough strength to push the entire thing along at an telling magazine .
So can we cover all the human beings ’s roads in aluminum foil and just establish ourselves simple galvanising gondola to drive around ? Probably not . But as DIY scientific discipline experiments go , this one is pretty easy with a marvellous proceeds . [ YouTubeviaKottkeviaDigg ]
