The story went that if you wrapped a coil of copper around the new magnet,
lay it in a small bath of mercury then pumped some current through the wire
you would get some interesting effect (From memory). This effect was that
the coil would turn slightly on the magnet "in the direction of current
flow." Everyone who has done some form of physics in their life should
realise that "every action has an equal but oppocite reaction" (not too sure
on the wording so hopefully the physics police don't beat me up!). So what
is happening....
My thought ...well I think it was mine...oh well
===========
Normally there is a vortex of aether around the magnet from one end to the
other. Lets just say that in 99 out 100 cases the vortex turns in the same
direction from N to S (subject to which hemisphere...I think). Right now
that that is 100% clear I will continue...So in this case we have two
vortexs traveling in the oposite directions which could result in collision
on the axis where the magnet was cut in half (???). Or, the vortices
rremain unhalmed and travel to the ends of the magnet without problem which
gives the illusion to any tom, dick or harry wire that the magnet is like a
super charged aether accumulator. All that it would seem like is a series
of permanent (??) grid patterns accross the serface of the magnet(???).
This is hard to explain, so I'll continue..
The current going around the magnet attracts what seems to be "stationary"
charge into the wire giving you more power and also twisting the wire in the
process (aether pushing itself into the wire...well maybe not
entirely...arghh hard to explain!)
Leave it there I think!
