Magnetic hourglass | Time changed by magnet?
🕑 Added 2019-11-29 20:18:20 +0000 UTCAll right. Time to reveal how the magnetic hourglass reacts to a magnet. Thanks for all the votes and input on the Patreon poll!
I did not give you much info so it was mostly a blind guess for you. I do like how it ended up being almost a tie between two opposing answers. Shows it isn't easy to guess :)
Find the right answer(s) in the video...

Hehe ;) There's more to it, but since I only upload once a month and has taken a 20% payment/time cut at my day job to find time for monthly uploads, I would prefer to avoid half ad revenue on my videos when possible... But the bonus clip also show an non time-edited side-by-side shot of the two scenarios, making it more tangible that they are exactly the same time. In case people should complain about the time-edited shots. I also think the end is an elegant way of giving people a 'behind-the-scenes' look at what it takes to make such a video. I did watch and record the hour glass run through 25 times and gave up on recording 5 more runs in the slower test... People might complain about the missing last 5 runs, but now I can point to the end of the video and tell them why I gave up on it ;) Thanks for watching all the way to the end, Sarge :D
Yep, you called the fourth, missing answer :D
Thanks, Andrew. You were right with the included magnet. It has no effect at all. But the induced magnetism in the sand from the farther extending magnetic field from a larger magnet has an impact. Now I need to experiment with how slow I can make it go without stopping it...

I always knew you were smart, but using the hourglass at the end to pad out runtime to get that sweet sweet ad revenue? Why that’s bloody genius :)

CLOGGED.. VICTORY !!
Nice video. I said it wouldn’t affect the time. Wow as I wrong.
