🔬#MESExperiments 52: Magnets in Repulsion Bridge Drop Tests

---

In #MESExperiments 52 I drop magnets in repulsion vs a nonmagnet from a bridge of about 29 feet high, and got similar drop times for both with no significant difference. I did 10 drop tests while alternating hands to mitigate any inherent bias and still got similar times. The magnets in repulsion fell slightly faster on average, by 1.24%, which wasn't significant and is likely due to the increased air drag on the nonmagnet (since it was inside a plastic bag). Note that the from the angle I was filming, the objects in the left hand dropped faster each time, but this may just be an optical illusion as this same thing happened during my 14.75 balcony drop tests. I may redo this experiment at a higher height and a more comparable nonmagnet in terms of drag coefficient, but I suspect the differences will be very small. Thus, if there is any antigravity effect, one would need extremely precise measurements and experimental setups to observe, or to use my faster accelerations (I may do throwing tests to compare how far the magnets in repulsion fly!).

Magnets in Repulsion drop test March 12, 2009 Replication experiment:

Timestamps:

• Magnets in repulsion vs nonmagnets bridge drop tests – 0:00
• Nonmagnet weight 344.04 g, the magnets weighed 343.74 g – 0:06
• Height of the bridge is 29 feet or 8.839 meters – 0:19
• Start of bridge drop tests – 0:46
• Results: No significant difference in drop times. Differences is likely due to air drag on nonmagnet. Camera perspective likely skewing angle of filming, making lefthand side appear lower – 4:26
