The Incredible Power of Electromagnetism: Creating a Giant Copper Tube and Testing its Magnetic Field

🔋Creating a copper tube using a 3D print, ceramic coating, and kiln to demonstrate electromagnetic effects.

🧲Testing the magnetic properties of the tube by dropping a powerful magnet and observing the opposing magnetic field.

⚡The resistance experienced when the magnet is dropped down the tube is due to eddy currents.

🔬The tube is made of almost 20 lbs of copper and has a 400 lb pull force magnet, showcasing the power of electromagnetism.

🔭Future experiments will explore different effects and applications of magnets in various scenarios.
