Mythbusters did a similar one using a fan and a sailboat. The boat moved. Backwards.
For the same reason why this device does not go left by the metal slab pulling the magnet to the left
Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer (Jim Button and Lukas the Engine Driver) dit it first:
They even got one step behound: The two rocks you see in the drawing are actually a broken up magnet into it's north pole and south pole, so it's only magnetic when they connect the both with a metal rod. Genius. (ofc that's EXACTLY how magnets work)
There are magnetic monopoles, but only in quantum physics.
I also find it funny how i got introduced to the troll physics meme 20 years before it was called that, as a small child back in the 90s
Magneto was right!
Obviously, because they don't want us to know this. Duh.
I think that only works on steam trains
It's basically the same problem as the sailboat with a fan.
Me sighing as people akshually comment explaining the obvious in a meme sub. 😅
You realize these are all incorrect right?
Please explain the correct answer
They are connected in the same system. What the truck is doing is the same thing as you holding two magnets together, you won't go anywhere because everything is self contained.
Edit: this is probably not a very accurate explanation but it's the way I understand it.
If the arm can bend, the car and the magnet could move towards each other until they come together, moving the car at max a few centimeters. If the arm doesn't bend, the car is pulled as much forward as the magnet, and therefore the arm and in turn the car itself, is pulled forward, leaving the whole system stationary.
You moron, that would make the car flip, you need to attach it to the back of your car horizontally
