We used to make these all the time as kids. You need a second pair of magnets in push configuration on the back for this to work.
Y tho

Don’t forget the spark plug wrapped in wire that’s been taped to a light bulb

You need a stronger magnet at the front obviously.

Water destroys magnets. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well duh. Why else would the magnetic record on the sea floor flip back and forth?

You gotta release the parking brake
SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The handbrake is still on.

I think it is working. Exactly as designed.

Just gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps and figure out out like i did.

The magnet dislikes you personally, that’s why.

Over half of the people I know think this is how “energy” and “frequencies” work.

missing microwave transformer, HHO electrolysis, cellulose, and nitric acid bro… obviously

reminds me of the videos of that guy who sits in wheeled bucked ostensibly pushing himself with an umbrella and a leaf blower; guy carries a leaf blower, umbrella and bucket around all the time just to make people look at him. lol

It used to work till you broke it.

Rookie mistake, the thing holding the magnet from the back side is also metal so it cancels out

The magnet on the bonnet is pulling the car forwards as much as the magnet hanging on the wire is pulling backwards towards the car, and since they share the same root object the net motion is zero.
If either of those magnets were rooted on the ground, the car would move.

This reminds me of Bender putting his arms back on.

Dawn, didn't knew you could do that with lasers. Brilliant
RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
Yeah lasers move at the speed of laser, not the speed of light.
