Ripping apart soda cans with electromagnets in SLOW MOTION

submitted by Zawash

8 years 6 months 1 week ago

YT: Watch a soda can rip itself apart in a fiery explosion at 11,000fps with a Phantom high speed camera. Running a current through a coil, produces an electromagnet. Turn up the voltage in this experiment, and make that current strong enough, and your electromagnet can rip a soda can in half. Or rather, make the can rip itself in half!

Really cool science stuff although i find the presenters scripted over reaction annoying. I can watch reality tv if i want to see people being completely phony. end of rant.

*promote

way cool

The can being non magnetic I thought the magnetic field would just pass through it.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Wednesday, June 15th, 2016 12:46am PDT - promote requested by bobknight33.

I was expecting the can to be full of soda!!!! Super cool. nonetheless!

And WHY didn't you invite the Slo-Mo guys to do the filming?
