This has my attention.

How does the battery stay on the coat hanger?

 

[Kai]

Magnetism.

Never did Physics?

By a magnet Edit: damn kai beat me to it.

Those things on the bottom of the battery are a stack of magnets. The magnetic field is simply strong enough to holt the top of the battery to the hanger.

 

[Kai]

Probably a neodymium magnet - looks the right sorta size.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: lulz.

Magnetism, as stated. Remember that magnetism and electricity are related

Well, honey....


When a battery and a coat hanger love each other very much...

I know its a magnet. Sorry, I didn't ask the right question.

I want to know how it moves. The mechanics behind it. And of course, the type of magnet used.
