Candle flame is repelled by magnets (and Zeeman follow-up) https://tube.loping.net/videos/watch/c598df98-d914-4032-8ecc-ba40b17d8d01 Why is a candle flame repelled by magnets? It turns out to be a combination of diamagnetic soot particles and hot gas. Dr. Faraday on the diamagnetic condition: https://books.google.com/books?id=Shc8boMnrBoC&pg=RA3-PA406&lpg=RA3-PA406#v=onepage&q&f=false On Flame and Gases: https://books.google.com/books?id=D8NAAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA187&lpg=PA187#v=onepage&q&f=false I should have mentioned in the video that the exhaust from a flame will be oxygen-poor, thus also making it more diamagnetic than normal air. Air is a mixture of nitrogen (diamagnetic) and oxygen (paramagnetic). Removing the oxygen will make the resulting gas more diamagnetic. https://www.patreon.com/AppliedScience Sun, 12 Jul 2026 14:05:50 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.loping.net Candle flame is repelled by magnets (and Zeeman follow-up) https://tube.loping.net/lazy-static/avatars/8a56e488-2120-4649-a417-badf5893657b.png https://tube.loping.net/videos/watch/c598df98-d914-4032-8ecc-ba40b17d8d01 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.loping.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
