How aluminum "comes to life" under the influence A powerful magnet
Popular science blogger Tyler Fever demonstrated a powerful magnet worth around $4,000 in a video. An experiment with aluminum revealed the metal's unusual behavior in a strong magnetic field: pieces of aluminum literally "float" and deflect, as if pulled by an invisible force.
The blogger explained that aluminum is a non-magnetic material, but when placed in a strong magnetic field, eddy currents (Foucault currents) are generated. These currents create their own magnetic field, which repels the main field—this is why the aluminum begins to move or hover, seemingly defying the laws of physics.
Tyler noted that the magnet is so strong that holding it with bare hands is unsafe: even the smallest metal object nearby instantly "sticks" with tremendous force.
