Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Can someone explain please?

The magnets spinning at that speed creates a frequency which can interfere with other radio signals.

Does it tho? It's basically an electric generator

That's not how that works...

The magnets aren't being moved across conductors to induce currents.

  1. Double jail for violating numerous laws of physics.

Did some quick math I think the magnets would be moving at about 200,000 mi/sec if you spun it that fast.

what are u? the lightspeed police?

I want to see air ionize

Pretty sure you'd only have to spin half that fast, you'd get two magnetic cycles per rotation. Though if you flipped one of the magnets (or better yet, removed one) you'd need the 1575+ million rotations but get a stronger radiation (I think, though not positive).
