Do magnets work in space or in places were there’s no magnetic field?
It is so cool how earth is protected by a magnetic field
❤️
❤️
Magnets can be useful in life!!:)
I love the magic of magnets it is really cool!
Magnets are cool
Great video about magnets.
Hello, my name is Jacob. Thank you for informing me about magnets. I find it really interesting how there are magnets that are so strong that they cause distortion. Anyway, thank you for the knowledge.
It is so cool how magnets can connect together
Does temperature effect the magnetism of magnets?
Specifically for Lady Pajet. If you think that girl was cute you need to look in the mirror you’re prettier! 😘😍😘😍😘
I like magnets, they are so cool.
It is interesting that the North pole of a magnet will attract the South pole of another, but 2 North poles will repel each other. Yet, if you cut one magnet in half, results in 2 smaller weaker magnets not a single north or south pole. It is these invisible forces at work that control navigation, protect us from harmful solar radiation and even hold up pictures on fridges.
Magnets are really useful more than I realized.
why don’t we use magnets to drive cars
Loved this
It was interesting to learn that you can make things like fruit and living things levitate.
so amazing!!
Does temperature effect magnet properties?
Magnets are amazing!!!
magnets are so cool!
This is awesome!
I love how magnets work!
why dont we use magnets to actually drive cars?
how can tempature affect magnetic propeties of materials?
I loved the magic
Magnets are so Awesome!
Magnets are very interesting because they can both be used to pull items and push items depending on how you orient them
i’ve always wondered how one would go about making a supercharged magnet powerful enough to pull a car
Has no idea magnets were so cool!
Wow so interesting
Could magnets possibly be used in fields of space exploration?
Wow, magnets are so cool!
I’m so impressed with your ability to make people learn about magnets
😊😊😊
Wow! Magnets are so interesting
magnets are so cool
Learning about magnets is always very cool
Magnets are so awesome! Very interesting video
Magnets are so cool
Amazing!❤️
Very interesting video!
Magnets are so amazing. Great episode!
What would happen if there wasn’t a magnetic field?
Wow magnets are so fascinating.
Wow! Magnets are so cool!
I always knew magic was real! 😂
Wow ❤️
I like the floating bugs
So cool to hear about all the ways magnets are used.
I learned Michael Faraday made a electric motor out of electricity and magnets to make movement.
Magnets ARRRREE MAGIC
I loved this live! 🙂
Magnets really are magical. It’s insane the force is there, but we cannot see it! 🪄
Definitely going to try my own experiment at home now.
I’ve learned about magnetism in science for as long as I can remember but this episode gave far more understanding than I’ve had before
Wow! Magnets are so cool!
The experiments you guys do are always so cool!
Love how you can use magnets in tiny unimportant situations and huge life changing situations!
Magnets are so cool. I have always been inerested in them and how they work
