Monster magnet meets monster laser...
🕑 Added 2019-10-26 18:18:37 +0000 UTCTime to explore how lasers react to a magnet. I will test laser pointers, the beam from the mighty Hercules laser and even a show laser near my strongest magnet: the 150x100 mm N45 magnet.
How much will bend and break? Let's find out in the latest video in my 'Monster magnet meets'-series.
N.B. I hope Sony soon will release a new version of their low-light capable A7S-series. I really need a better low-light camera for many of my videos, but the shots of the laser beam in this video where beautiful enough for now :)

I like your way of thinking. I tried it a while back, hoping the charged particles in the plasma streams would be affected by a magnet. Unfortunately, there's no visible reaction since plasma balls run on high-frequency AC. Makes them safe to touch but with AC there's no flow of charged particles. They are just 'vibrating in place.' However, the power supply is affected by a magnet, changing the look of the plasma ball. I may make a video about it :) Thanks for watching and helping me out!
Great video by the way.
