This is what a magnetic field sensor looks like. On the other side is a white dot, which is the only area where it detects magnetic waves. It has a bit of a light tower design. This is important to know, because the data can come out extremely wrong if the device is not used correctly.
The reaction of the sensor to the magnetic field of the earth, using three axis to rotate around. two were cosine waves where only one was a sine.
In this experiment we use the magnetic field sensor, clamp it down and use a plastic tube and electric wiring to wrap around it. We want to see the effects of the electric field as we increase the number of loops going around the sensor.
The data collected. Im not sure why our amps were so low, but our data was pretty consistent. All the data seemed to be off by a factor of 10 compared to other groups and Masons data.
Once we got past loop 4, the data would strangely fluctuate. I dont know why.
Here are professor masons results, showing an increase of the magnetic field as the loops increase. very straight forward.
Comparing our data to the professors, we can see that our data is pretty consistent, but yet again off by a factor of 10, because our current was lower. We tried everything to get it up, but then figured it acts the same even with a lower current.
Some beautiful calculations of the ratio (B/NI) and we related that to the length of the wire.
Here we have an experiment using solenoids. On to you can see the 3 factors that determine how to get a high current.
This final experiment uses on large solenoid and a smaller one hovering above it. We supply a AC current to simulate the movement of the magnet going through the solenoid. Motion is required to generate a current using magnetism. But the efficiency is the main problem. We were pumping in over 10 Amps just to light up a tiny led light. The higher the current the further away the top solenoid could be to see the light light up.
Observe the amazement in my eyes.. O.O
