61. Magnetic Fields And Mars Magnetic fields, though they can get pushed around (as we'll see later), keep theircurrents, and thereby their magnetism, in set places called magnetic field http://mgs-mager.gsfc.nasa.gov/Kids/magfield.html

Mars Global Surveyor MAG/ER Kids/Teachers Magnetic Fields and Mars Please note : This page contains links to pages outside the nasa.gov domain. Even though Mars is one of Earth's two sister planets, it is still in large part a mystery to scientists. Did life ever exist there? Can it exist there now? Is there frozen water? These questions plague scientists, astronomy enthusiasts, and science fiction writers worldwide. For the purposes of the Mars Global Surveyor, however, there is an even more important question: what is the nature of Mars' magnetic field? To understand this question and therefore the MAG/ER (Magnetometer/Electron Reflectometer) experiment on the Mars Global Surveyor, it is important to first understand magnetic fields and their importance; hence, the focus of this page. So what are magnetic fields, anyway? Magnetic fields , simply put, are the areas of influence of a magnet. A magnetic field covers the whole area in which the attraction or repulsion of a magnet can be felt. For an everyday example: most kids know that if someone in their family is making dinner in the kitchen, they will get called in to help if they watch TV nearby in the living room, but not if they are in their bedroom upstairs (if they are lucky). So the chef's "magnetic field," as it were, extends to the living room, but not to the second floor of the house. That is a magnetic field, but it is important to get the idea of a magnet straight. Everyone has seen and played with magnets; maybe you have sprinkled iron filings near one in a science class or played with the magnetic marbles you can link together as a string. It is not just iron bar magnets that show magnetism, though: the whole idea of magnetism is that in everything (a piece of iron or the graphite in a pencil), a tiny

UP TO WEIRD SCI. GOOD STUFF NEW STUFF HELP! Mainstream scientists resist the idea that magnetism can affect chemistry. For example, they see any use of PM-magnets to relieve human pain as disgusting pseudoscience which should be stamped out. And part of the continuing controversy about a possible link between EMFs and Cancer is due in part to the widespread scientific skepticism regarding the ability of DC and low-frequency magnetic fields to affect chemical bond. The skeptics seem to think that if such an important phenomena was real, researchers would already know about it. However, the sneering skeptics are wrong. Research increasingly reports evidence that EMF and permanent magnets DO have significant effects upon chemical reactions, especially on sensitive biochemistry. This is 'taboo science', and it causes some of the more-conventional researchers to react with a skepticism almost approaching violence. After all, if this simple phenomenon was missed by thousands of professional chemists, it damages their reputations as experts and makes them look like fools. It is especially painful to those who have loudly and publicly ridiculed these ideas. Evidence should have a clear voice, but when personal reputations and "science politics" are involved, the voice of the evidence often goes unheard. Disgust and derision take the place of curiousity and truth-seeking, and the verification of the reported observations can conveniently become unimportant.

Overview Articles History of IA IA Fact Sheet ... Cosmology Poem DR. ZOTZ' LECTURE CONTINUES Magnetism From the Electron Stanley Fay White The Well , I am sure that you are exhausted from listening to all this dry stuff, so we will call it a day. The next time we meet, we will discuss why Einstein failed to find the Unified Field Theory that was within his grasp if he had employed Inductive Analysis. Author's note: The above lecture by Dr. Zotz was developed as the author struggled to learn the nature of the electron in 1972. It was felt that the story of the trip to Procyon would not be authentic if Dr. Zotz' lectures were phony. The result of the Inductive Analysis was a new view of the electron, and a pleasant story as well. The Dr. Zotz lectures have been recorded for you to judge for yourself. Author's note II There are those who say that atoms, protons, electrons and neutrons don't exist, that it is all a fairy tale. Since the atom bomb drops on Japan in 1945, these people are reduced in numbers. There will be those who will say than the view of the electron described in this paper is fictitious. I would offer the following as a reply. The nature of the electron (and by inference all atomic particles) described in this paper is internally consistent and compatible with the entire knowledge base of physics. Data is sited that describes the behavior of the electron in atomic process, obsoleting quantum mechanics and wave mechanics. The described data nevertheless is confirmed by quantum mechanics, sans elimination of "prohibited" orbits, charge, gravitons and the like. This paper also describes the cause of inertia, magnetism and the Lorentz contraction derived from a physical, not a mathematical model. No other physical model is compatible with the facts. Thirty years of study has failed to find a flaw in the facts and physical model presented in this paper.

75. HFML, Levitation Molecular magnetism and Levitation. Something to amuse.Category Science Chemistry Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Diversions...... Scientists have also found many ways to levitate things without any noiseor the need for petrol or air, by using electromagnetic fields. http://www-hfml.sci.kun.nl/levitate.html

The Real Levitation Leaving science fiction aside, science does know scores of different ways to levitate things. For instance, a helicopter can be considered as a very impressive levitation device that uses a stream of air to keep floating. Scientists have also found many ways to levitate things without any noise or the need for petrol or air, by using electromagnetic fields. Levitating trains and levitating displays are but two examples of electromagnetic levitation. However, in all such schemes, a source of energy (an engine or a battery at least) is always required to keep an object afloat. Remove the battery and the levitation inevitably stops Today's science knows only one way to achieve REAL levitation, i.e. such that no energy input is required and the levitation can last forever. The real levitation makes use of diamagnetism , an intrinsic property of many materials referring to their ability to expel a portion, even if a minute one, of an external magnetic field. Electrons in such materials rearrange their orbits slightly so that they expel the external field. As a result, diamagnetic materials repel and are repelled by strong magnetic fields. Three basic schemes using various aspects of diamagnetism allow the true levitation: SUPERCONDUCTING LEVITATION Superconductors are ideal diamagnetics and completely expel magnetic field at low temperatures. The picture shows a sumo wrestler standing on a levitating magnet platform that floats above a high-temperature superconductor. The superconductor is cooled by liquid air and hidden below the platform. To learn more about superconducting levitation, click on the title above (this is not our work) or search the web.

Magnetic fields and how to make them Magnetism There is a strong connection between electricity and magnetism. With electricity, there are positive and negative charges. With magnetism, there are north and south poles. Similar to charges, like magnetic poles repel each other, while unlike poles attract. An important difference between electricity and magnetism is that in electricity it is possible to have individual positive and negative charges. In magnetism, north and south poles are always found in pairs. Single magnetic poles, known as magnetic monopoles, have been proposed theoretically, but a magnetic monopole has never been observed. In the same way that electric charges create electric fields around them, north and south poles will set up magnetic fields around them. Again, there is a difference. While electric field lines begin on positive charges and end on negative charges, magnetic field lines are closed loops, extending from the south pole to the north pole and back again (or, equivalently, from the north pole to the south pole and back again). With a typical bar magnet, for example, the field goes from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet, and back from south to north inside the magnet. Electric fields come from charges. So do magnetic fields, but from moving charges, or currents, which are simply a whole bunch of moving charges. In a permanent magnet, the magnetic field comes from the motion of the electrons inside the material, or, more precisely, from something called the electron spin. The electron spin is a bit like the Earth spinning on its axis.

80. BIO-MAGNETISM Magnetoencephalography, (MEG), is a major area within Biomagnetism making use of withinthe brain results in tiny currents and subsequently magnetic fields. http://www.ug-home.nottingham.ac.uk/~ppyttch/bios.htm

BIO-MAGNETISM Many processes in animals produce very small magnetic fields. There are many studies that use the sensitivity of SQUIDS to detect these small changes in magnetic fields. The research in this area is very wide and ranges from studying the susceptibility of human tissue to magnetic fields, the ‘healing’ currents within the body, or the magnetic fields produced by neural and muscular activity. Magnetoencephalography, (MEG), is a major area within Bio-magnetism making use of SQUIDS and in particular DC-SQUIDS. The aim of Magnetoencephalography is the imaging of neural activity within the brain. Neural activity within the brain results in tiny currents and subsequently magnetic fields. SQUIDS are needed because the magnetic fields produced by these currents are tiny. The fields produced by the brain are on the order of a billionth of a Tesla, in comparison an ordinary fridge magnet produces fields of about a tenth of a Tesla. The major advantage of this method over other MEG techniques is that it allows for real time imaging. This real time imaging allows for much more information to be obtained from a scan. A SQUID MEG
