@*S U C T I O N* Ok. The video of the particles implied some physical "movement". I mistook the changes in the material for movement. However there are other observations and methods that validate my comment about 'solid' objects, correct? 🙂
@@Alvan81 The fact that the magnetic domain switches polarity doesn't prove that the material is not solid, or that our understanding of what is solid, is false. It just proves that solid materials and generally matter, can have properties that we don't know or easily understand, a good example is quantum spin, that is the way matter interacts with electromagnetism. Don't forget that most materials do not have magnetic domains.
8:28 - the most important part of video, this show that sound comes from switching domains NOT from magnet flying around the coil ( thus it also generate changeable magnetic flux which generate small current). It means that flux change rate is the greatest when domains are switching inside iron bar...
I would dispute (or prove) that actually. I would make a test with just the coils without the Iron bar inside, and subtract that noise from the experiment. The result would be mostly the same, but it would also shut up all the smartasses talking about magnetic induction (me included).
Another to totally agree. At first I wasn’t convinced, it seemed like you were just creating electrical current as the magnet waved across the coiled wire, but as soon as you showed the part about approaching the end with one pole, then repeating it with no noise, and then flipping it and the noise returned. Super cool experiment!
@@antonk.653 i don't think we can easily subtract that noise, because the coil with and without iron bar have different inductive reactance, it means the noise from the inductive current of the coil with iron bar still different from the noise without iron bar we can't just subtract it.
There's industrial test machines based on this phenomenon. The can determine grain size and density of steel, and thereby infer the grade and hardness. We used them in an auto plant to check gears for proper heat treat and composition without running a destructive hardness test
Anything with magnets always intrigued me! My favorite is showing magnetic field lines with that dish and light setup you had! I showed my little sister that and now she’s looking at magnetic fields of everything😂
In 9 minutes I actually learned about this topic more and understood it better than back in the university, where we would spend 2 hours listening to a boring lecture and end up not understanding anything about the magnetic domains This is one of the reasons I love The Action Lab so much, I wish schools had such visual and demonstrative lectures like videos on this channel

@@xDR1TeK yes, germanium (edit: Galena). The coil is an inductor, when the magnetic field changes in the rod at the core another magnetic field is generated and opposes it in the coil, this in turn creates a potential used to trigger the transistor in the amplifier, generating a static click.

Cool demonstration! We actually manufacture quality test equipment for ferromagnetic parts based on this phenomenon. Instead of bar magnets we use AC magnetic field to sinusoidally excite the domains. The Barkhausen noise is then read-out with a pick-up. Based on the signal amplitude one can measure the hardness of the sample without destroying it.
Seriously dude, your videos explain so many fundamental concepts in science better than anyone else out there. They need to show your videos in schools as a teaching aid! I wish RUclips had been around when I was in school 🙂
Always enjoy this channel’s content. Thank you for posting, and all of the work (behind the scenes) we can’t watch. Also, these vids that aren’t rehashing all the usual “science” topics are one hell of a breath of fresh air I didn’t know RUclips needed. bravo, encore!
The demonstration with the plastic cup blew my mind. That is neat for nerdy funfacts during parties, but also extremely helpful for actual physics classes.
The overall flux change when moving the magnet closer to the solenoid will also induce a signal. This however is of much lower frequency and therefore either not audible, or a bass-like hum you won't notice. In applications of this technique, it is easily filtered out.
If you "rub" a piece of non magnetic iron with a magnet (with one pole one direction) it will "straighten" those small magnetic domains and the iron will become magnetic.
The research group I'm in actually works on a model that describes this behavior. The behavior is known as "well-organized criticality" and we describe it with a model called "avalanche slip statistics theory." This model actually applies to a ton of things such as earthquakes, ferromagnetic switching (Barkhausen noise), and even examples of stellar variability (what I work on). It's really cool stuff!
I’m still mind boggled from when I first learned about how in solid metal depending on temperature the crystal structure changes entirely ... and apparently even magnetic domains. Awesome experiment, gonna recreate it with my amp now haha. Thank you for being awesome!
My favorite part was when you showed that you need to change the polarity of the magnet 🧲 to continue creating the white noise once the piece of iron was magnetically oriented. That was awesome.
I tried to explain this to my little 10 year old brother im not sure if he ever understood about the domains of little magnet inside a bar, but I'm sure he is gonna understand about this today.......the idea of using a cup with a small magnet is so brilliant....
Your videos never cease to amaze me! Ridiculously brilliant content! How you make it easy to understand is beyond me but you do it brilliantly!! Top Content sir! Keep it up!
hey man i love your videos so mutch cuz its like knowledge i will probably never use but its also sooo entertaining. you 100% got me on every of your videos
I found this effect many years ago, but I did not know the correct cause; at the time I had thought that it's was just the amp reacting badly to the generated DC voltage which was likely above it's designed input range. Thanks for explaining the real reason for this.
Part of your demonstration waving magnet near your coil also induced alternative current in the coil and the noise you hear on your amp. You have separate the movement of your magnet causing current in the coil
with the wire around that rod you can "hear" electronics do their job as well if you keep the rod close to your phone, computer or anything with microchips. EMF is kinda interesting.
It's not interesting when I'm trying to play high gain tones through my guitar amp, lol. Power can also apparently be "dirty" as well which is why my guitars are so noisy in this new house.
That demonstration also explains why condenser microphones are better than traditional microphones, of course the noise is extremely quiet but still noticeable
Isn't this also related to how am radio works? Radio waves induce a changing magnetic field in the am antenna which the electronics then convert to sound
No, the antenna picks up radio waves (light at very low frequencies) and because of the photoelectric effect, this causes electrons to move around. That signal is then amplified and demodulated (or demodulated and amplified by electronics. I am pretty sure that this is correct.
Yes, it is Only the magnetic field flips orientation hundreds of times a second. Domains in a regular iron bar would not be able to react so quickly, so a special material is used. But tbe principle is the zame.
Would be great to hear the difference when you do the same without any metal body inside the coil and what happens when you put pure iron bar inside instead of cast iron. Great video! Love your content.
You should also try pointing an IR remote controller with a button pressed at the coil and you will hear it pulsate. It works at least with an actual guitar pick-up, and what you've made here looks like a larger version of that.
Wouldn't the sound heard simply be the electricity being generated? Like when the polarity of the one side of the magnet comes close to the iron bar - the elections of the iron are pulled in one direction to align. As the electrons in the iron shift/flip polarity towards the magnet - each flip causes a short spike in electricity - this is the "clicks" of static heard. This is the 1st flow/pulse of electricity. Once the magnet is flipped it causes the reversal of the electrons in the opposite direction & static is heard once more. This is the 2nd flow/pulse of electricity.
I did this back in 1970 with a telephone pickup coil and a little reel-to-reel tape recorder as a amp. Worked really well. Of course, I did not know what it was really back then.
The Barkhausen effect had a lot less to do with dogs than I thought
