What cracks me up is the piece of metal, labeled metal, attached to the one metric ton of… Metal
Well, the metal sees the magnet and wants to eat it so it move toward it. It’s the ol’ Magnet on a Stick trick and metal is easily fooled.
It’s to differentiate from the trucks where the front is entirely made of very bring LEDs
Also since they’d want iron specifically
Well, nickel or cobalt should work too, if middle school science memory doesn’t fail me.
metric
You sure about that?
Cars these days are like 80% plastic crumble zone
Doesn’t the Cyber Truck have no crumple zone? It might apply to that.
Pedestrians are the crumple zone. It’s revolutionary really.
Because it makes the vehicle too long to park in the average garage or driveway.
Finally, an answer that makes sense.
Fun at partys guy: While the car will actually experience a force torwards the magnet, so will the magnet experience an equal amount of force torwards tha car. Given the connection between the car and the magnet is stiff, these opposing forces will stress the connection and create a reactive force in there according to Newtens 3rd law, ultimatly canseling the forces out and neither the car nor the magnet will move.
If you however remove the stiff connection, the car and the magnet will move torwards each other untill they meet.
This illustration does not imply that the car is moving. There are no “speed lines” or arrows that would indicate that.
So the illustrated setup would 100% work.
So this would work actually but only for a brief second as the electrical current generated by the frame of the vehicle passing through the magnetic field would disrupt the flux conduction in the magnet. This is mostly due to being the way that it is.
Could we fix it by constantly increasing the (electro)magnets strength?
