Nothing in this video is super groundbreaking if you’ve taken a typical physics class that includes some E&M.

That said, the demonstrations are pretty compelling and well executed. I particularly liked the use of an IR camera to visualize the resistive power loss in the maze. Super cool.



Well, I never took a physics course, with or without E&M (whatever that means), so I appreciated it.


> E&M (whatever that means)

electricity and magnetism


'electricite du magnetisme' would be a nice quadruple-entendre in French

1) electricity of magnetism => electrical side of the electromagnetic force

leads to

2) electricity from magnetism => generating electricity from a magnetic force

leads to

3) edm => electronic dance music

leads to

4) excitement from attraction => the feeling of excitement ('electric' metaphor for excitement) from meeting someone you're attracted to ('magnetic' metaphor for attraction between two people)
