Foucault currents

 

Very few people in the childhood not to play with constant magnets. Modern powerful magnets allow to experience are wider a spectrum of "handing" experiments (for example, the pinched fingers …). For described it is possible to take advantage of strong constant magnets taken of old/faulty HDD devices of memory ("Winchesters") of computers more low. The most difficult possibly now is to find thick sheet of copper or aluminum. But if mentioned is available, we will make the following experiment:

 

1) We take a constant magnet (1) in hands and quickly drive (3) it along a surface of sheet of copper/aluminum (2), focusing to the last one of magnet poles as it is shown in a Fig.1.

 

 

Fig.1

 

It is clearly possible to feel arising resistance to such fast movement.

Now we will start up a magnet in free sliding on a surface of the inclined thick sheet of copper/aluminum. Sliding of the last is strongly braked, and even there is an impression that the magnet nestles on conductor sheet more strongly. Similar experiment - a constant magnet throw in a vertical pipe from copper or aluminum.

Standard explanation - magnet movement Foucault's vortical currents brake. But the total mass electrons involved in vortical movement of many times less mass of a constant magnet is held back that. And then, what prevents to be displaced to an electronic whirlwind after a sliding magnet?

It is logical to assume that "free" electrons, in an electric conductor, actually are not free. There is a certain grid of electrowire bridges between atoms of a conductor, on which electrons move. This is grid adheres set of whirlwinds of currents of Foucault to a crystal lattice. But, experiment with replacement of continuous sheet of a conductor by sawdust, shows that braking of movement of a constant magnet becomes imperceptible. I.e. electrowire "bridges" between atoms of a conductor it not the local phenomenon. "Bridges" prove in macro-scales.

 

2) But we will continue experiment with that that is available for us in hands - quickly we drive (3) a magnet (1) along a surface of sheet of copper/aluminum (2), focusing to the last already its both poles as it is shown in a Fig.2.

 

Fig.2

 

Resistance to fast movement as in experiment 1) is thus felt too.

 

3) But here if we will turn a magnet and it we will quickly move, perpendicularly direct between magnet poles (as is shown in a Fig.3) we any more will not find out resistance to its fast movement.

Where Foucault's currents have got to?...

Anywhere they have not got to, simply their plane there was to cross a plane of our sheet of copper/aluminum that has caused occurrence on a surface of sheet of an electric charge as in the banal unipolar generator of an electric current. In our case the electric chain has appeared is not closed, the "vortical" contour is opened … in macro-scales. That again suggests existence of electrowire "bridges" between atoms of a conductor in macro-scales.

It is interesting, how these "bridges" will prove if them to remove for metal limits? We can find out pictures of "a tractor trace" similar Fig. 2 in " Discovery of magnetic monopole or DSS elements?"?

And Tesla invented to use "bridges" for creation of gravitational effects of the design of "UFO"?
