Magnetic car hypothesis?
Ive seen this many times on the internet where they have a car with a magnet attached to the front
and another magnetic hanging overhead (like a fishing pole with a carrot and a horse chasing it) and their guess is that the magnetic force will pull it but in reality i think i think that equal force will be applied causing itto remain stationary, on the other hand i hold my hypothesis,
if you were to attach two magnets with the same polarity in the back instead of the front of the car
one magnet will push the other away perhaps causing the vehicle to move. And if you keep the magnets at a goid distance where one will push the other i believe the car might juat travel quite a distance and with some force steering it (more magnets?) it might just be driveable…
Is this possible? Id draw a picture but im on my phone. Any commentary and ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
Well first off i would assume that the weight of the magnets would weight it down so much so the force it did give off would not be enough to overcome its weight. I also assume that it would not be possible for it to give off more force in one direction then it would in the other (talking about your hypothesis) so all it would do is attempt to pull the car apart, thus also not working correctly. Lastly, i would assume that if the magnets were powerful enough then they would be mislead very easily and crash into any sort of metal, and if they were not stationary it would run the risk of the metal flying at the car.
