🔬#MESExperiments 35: Faraday's Paradox using Iron Filings

In #MESExperiments 35 I demonstrate Faraday's Paradox by showing that iron filings behave the same whether a magnet is rotating about its polar axis or not rotating at all. This suggests that the magnetic field does not rotate along this axis. Traditionally, Faraday's Paradox is demonstrated by a permenant magnet and a copper disc connected to a voltage (electric pressure) reading. It is based on Faraday's Law of Induction describing how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF). The paradox is described below:

Rotating the copper disk generates a voltage reading.
Rotating the magnet does not generate a voltage reading (contrary to Faraday's Law).
Rotating both the copper disk and magnet generates a voltage reading (contrary to Faraday's Law).

This is paradoxical under the theory that the magnet emits magnetic field lines and that EMF is generated whenever the copper disk cuts through these lines. Thus any relative motion between the copper disk and magnet should obtain a voltage reading. My experiment suggests that the magnet is not emitting an magnet field but rather that there exists another substance (the Aether) that the magnet is interacting with.

Also in this video, I show that rotating the magnet perpendicular to its polar axis can rotate or horizontally translate the iron filings. Pretty epic stuff!
