Last time I did these experiments I used only a Wimshurst, but now am
using both.
I have metal coil lathe shavings of iron and magnetized several and
tied a dental-floss string to one
which was magnetized over 12 hours ago. Tested its "slight magnetism"
with an unmagnetized shaving.
The weight of this shaving with string was so small that my scale of
1/10 gram could not weigh it.
So will have to build a balancing beam capable of measuring the weight
of the iron shaving.
The length of the iron shaving is approx 3.5 cm. and its diameter
approx 0.7 cm.
Operated both the Wimshurst and VandeGraaf and then placed a compass-
needle at the north-pole of
the electrode (largest electrode on VandeGraaf) and again noticed the
deflection of the needle 90 degrees.
Operated both machines again to fill capacitors. Now while in
operation, hung the iron-shaving attached
to the dental-floss at the north-pole of the large electrode on the
VandeGraaf and as expected it
acted as a ideal-diamagnet or the Meissner Effect. However, the iron
shaving at the equator of the
VandeGraaf was attracted as well as my hair on my arms was attracted.
As for the Wimshurst, at the pole of either of the electrodes the
Meissner
effect occurred.
And finally on the northpole of the capacitors of the Wimshurst
displayed a Meissner Effect
on the iron-shaving.
So here again, in August a repeating of my experimentation in March of
2008, that I again achieve
a Meissner Effect from Capacitor-Current of both VandeGraaff and
Wimshurst generators.
I challenge anyone to duplicate the results.
P.S. this is not Lenz's law as one mistaken responder opined, for he
could have said that
all Meissner tests are Lenz's law under such a mistake.
