World's Strongest Magnet!

Summary by Krater

The creator visits the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory to explore how their 45 Tesla hybrid magnet works, examining its extreme magnetic field, the physics of Lenz's law, and how high-magnetic fields affect various materials and living organisms.

Answers: How does the world's strongest continuous magnet work and what does it do to materials?

• 45T hybrid magnet system
• Lenz's law and eddy currents
• Ferromagnetism, paramagnetism and diamagnetism
• Superconductivity and high-temperature superconductors
• Material science research in high magnetic fields

What it concludes

• The 45T Hybrid Magnet System at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory holds the Guinness World Record for the strongest continuous magnetic field.
• Moving conductive materials through a strong magnetic field induces eddy currents that create opposing magnetic fields, slowing down their movement according to Lenz's law.
• Superconducting magnets have a limit to the magnetic field they can withstand before losing superconductivity, which is why hybrid systems combine superconducting outserts with resistive inserts.
• Water, strawberries, frogs, and grasshoppers are diamagnetic and can be levitated in a sufficiently strong magnetic field.
