  Cuz Newton invented conservation of energy /s

    Damn newton. He also invented gravity. Thats why we can’t fly now!

  For the same reason why this device does not go left by the iron slab pulling the magnet to the left

  Mythbusters did a similar one using a fan and a boat. The boat moved.

  Backwards.

    That one worked because it was just an inneficient way of pointing the fan backwards, the center of mass, as the average of the position of all the mass doesn’t move from inside forces, just outside ones, so for the car to move the mass of the magnet and arm would meet to move in relation to the car, because they can’t, the car doesn’t move too.

  Magneto was right!

  Obviously, because they don’t want us to know this. Duh.

  Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer (Jim Button and Lukas the Engine Driver) dit it first: Image

    They even got one step behound: The two rocks you see in the drawing are actually a broken up magnet into it’s north pole and south pole, so it’s only magnetic when they connect the both with a metal rod. Genius. (ofc that’s EXACTLY how magnets work)

      There are magnetic monopoles, but only in quantum physics.

      I also find it funny how i got introduced to the troll physics meme 20 years befor it was called that as a small child back in the 90s

  I think that only works on steam trains

  It’s basically the same problem as the sailboat with a fan.

    What are you trying to imply?

    • nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That this silly magnet won’t work, you need a sail and a fan.

      Just my observation that it’s the same kind of problem and that the effects cancel each other out.

  You moron, that would make the car flip, you need to attach it to the back of your car horizontally

  The magnet and the metal plate pull each other, do all the pull forwards is cancelled out by the pull backwards.

  You need a magnetic personality to make this work. No personality, no movement. And if you have a personality that pushes things away, the car might explode.
