Have you considered using schlieren imaging to get a better look at how the air currents are affected by the magnets? Might give a more accurate view of what's going on. Would hopefully see the hot air be suddely affected. Also with actual fire there's a good chance the charges in the ionized gas molecules play a large role. But the just hot air thing is super weird. Great video!

Yeah isn't fire-itself a plasma so the ions could be dong more here.

Some flames are actually considered to be a plasma. However, the degree of ionization in most flames is still low compared to other examples of plasma; such as an arc which still have a relatively low degree of ionization. If you apply a high voltage to a flame instead of a magnet you will generate an "ion wind" and have a similar effect to what you are seeing. The wax candle produces more soot than the methanol flame and the soot is easy to ionize in the flame, that is why the effect is more pronounced with the wax candle. Also, some wicks have metal in them which might contribute as well (i'm not sure if this was the case for your candle). If you were to repeat the experiment with a pure hydrogen flame you would see almost no effect, because hydrogen flames produce practically no ions. Flame ionization detectors work on the principal that hydrocarbon flames produce ions in proportion to the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon (which is still an unexplained phenomena funny enough). Even though this effect is almost certainly due to the flame ions, it is still not a completely well understood phenomena and there is still much to learn! Also, there is a good book that explore this topic by Weinberg entitled, "Electrical Aspects of Combustion." (www.amazon.com/Electrical-Aspects-Combustion-Weinberg-Lawton/dp/B0037F75IK/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1531716710&sr=1-1&keywords=electrical+aspects+of+combustion) Thanks for the great video!

Why do you think an arc has a low degree of ionization? Considering the fairly low energy needed to ionize gases I would say its really well ionized. Reaching 2eV via high temperatures is very hard, but a electrode of 10kV can easily rip several electrons out of a atom. Or is this still a low degree because there are still some electrons around the nucleus?

@rpg32tamu

When I say the degree of ionization is low I am comparing it to a 'fully ionized' plasma. Degree of ionization is defined as the fraction of molecules in the gas that are ionized. The core of the sun can be considered fully ionized. An arc is nowhere near fully ionized which is why I say it has a relatively low degree of ionization. The reason an arc has a low degree of ionization is because it never actually reaches equilibrium. Typical ionization energies for gas molecules are about 10 eV. However, a gas that is at 1 eV is capable of producing ions because there is a small number of 10 eV electrons available in a gas at 1 eV (which is about 11,000 K). However, an arc does not actually get to such high temperatures because of heat loss mechanisms and therefore has a lower degree of ionization. It is useful to make the comparison between the degree of ionization of different plasmas starting with a flame at the low end, then an arc which is a little higher, then the core of the sun which is much higher. Also, I should recommend that you try putting an arc in the magnetic field and see what happens. You can actually move the arc around more than the flame.

This is easily shown by setting a candle into a capacitor and seeing that it splits into two flames parallel to the capacitors axis of symmetry kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2uTmqmcj6_Sops.html

Although a candle flame (or a methanol flame) is not hot enough to ionize all the particles flowing between the poles of the magnet. There will be a small percentage of these particles that do ionize due to the statistical nature of the thermal distribution. Gas powered MHD generators benefit from this. Potassium has one of the lowest thermal ionization temperatures and is much more available than cesium. It might be interesting to see if seeding the flame with potassium carbonate would enhance the effect. By the way, very nice video!

The fundamental physics effects on luminous gasses and spectra are so much more interesting than just the magnet designs alone! A correction at 3:50, you aren't experimenting with the "smoke" here (ie. diamagnetic carbon/soot particles) but rather the *paraffin vapor* , this was established by Faraday in his experiments on a candle flame in the 19th century at the Royal Institution whereby he relit the candle by igniting the flammable paraffin vapor trail in air some distance away from the wick. Also I don't see anyone else having mentioned it yet, but Derek Muller demonstrated this exact same thing with the vapor in 2012 but with *electric* fields at a museum in Paris where the French call the experiment "le papillon". kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2uTmqmcj6_Sops.html

That is correct. If one looks very closely at the thing immediately after blowing the candle out you can see a clear region just above the hot wick where the invisible true paraffin vapor is present and a millimeter or so above that is where the white mist begins to appear. I suspect the method of electric charge accumulation on the mist droplets (as proven by this and Muller's demonstration) is not thermal in nature as Tech Ingredients here surmises the flame ionization itself is, since the wick producing the vapor/mist is barely glowing incandescent red and the Draper point is only ~500-600C, but rather that the mechanism of charge accumulation involves some kind of vapor condensation charging, perhaps somehow related to triboelectric charging. There is so much interesting undiscovered physics lying just below the surface of our everyday mundane experiences.

Hey Ben, one Tesla and one nano coulomb in the candle plasma will make one nano Newton of force at about 1 meter/sec. about the speed of the flame moving. I did not calculate the likely mass of plasma (very small), maybe you could put a pair of electrodes in the plasma and run some current through the plasma without the magnet to estimate the conductivity for a coulomb estimate.

The ion density might be low compared to high energy plasma, but it's still high enough to have measurable conductivity with an ohm meter. Some flame sensors work this way. Given that, it still seems possible there might be some Lorenz force. It doesn't require much force to deflect a bit of hot gas/plasma. So, while the Lorenz force might not be as strong as a magnet falling through a copper pipe, a magnet is also much heavier.

Theres not much known about that effect as far as i know. Just thought I'd throw that idea in there as well.

You can more than compensate for the non-ideal core shape by applying just slightly more current, or adding more turns while using the same current.

This kid was fusion reactor in the basement type smart, and among our various conversations it turns out we were both fans of your channel. Anyway, a couple months later we met for lunch in Mountain View at that cafeteria where they have bbq, pulled pork and the like, and you and a buddy walked in and had a seat.

I don't know what is creepier, us walking up to you then or me telling you about it now, but we chickened out. I haven't talked to the kid in a while, but I checked his twitter recently and he was in Antarctica. I guess maybe I'm sharing this because I wanted you to know that your seemingly tireless search to mine the depths of nature to learn new things and, importantly, share them with the world is appreciated by young and old(ish?) alike. This video is a perfect example of that...you take a quick sidebar (that probably took a couple hours of your time) to unambiguously confirm one effect while simultaneously exploring various dimensions of another that seems to be near some frontier of unexplored phenomenon. All this while being super transparent about your methods/successes/non-successes/etc. It's super cool and inspirational and I know I speak for many when I say that it's appreciated.

Maybe the higher energy particles of hot air having electrons spinning faster and reacting with magnets stronger. You could also try this backwards with a doughnut shaped cup of liquid nitrogen exhausting out to the side and put paper on the bottom and see if the current of cold Air is any less reactive, maybe all the air is similarly responsive to magnets however it might be easiest to see it in hot air/ a flame. also what about using a gas and a corresponding wavelength of light that it absorbs to see the effect, also try polarizing the light, and if you think about the reaction there are electrons being transferred and maybe that gives each individual reaction a magnetic impulse that is usually random and canceling it's self out. I would be interested to see you hook the magnet up with a super sensitive current detection method and testing if you have the magnet on and you pass a Bunsen burner flame through does it effect the strength of the magnetic field at all? And what about different flames, like a pure H + 2O = H2O flame and have 2 cheap glass eye dropper tips releasing the gases almost straight up and as close to each other as you can and set it up so that you can turn the system 360 degrees or at least 180 degrees so you can see if one gas being on one side makes a difference, you want to aim for something like laminar flow with the 2 gasses on either side of a wall or at least not mixed.

Now that I think about it, it's more that an electric field apparently also repels flames. That seems to have to do with the ions in the flame though, I think. But maybe it's also connected to your effect!

Friend of mine works for Siemens, maintaining MRIs, one really interesting effect he told me about is that their magnetic fields can be strong enough to mess with your short term memory if you move fast enough in its vicinity

It was me that posted the original comment on your first video. Firstly , I love that you took interest and built this rig to test what I mentioned. What I neglected to say in my original comment was that a portion of all flames are plasmas. Ie , former covalent bonds(or ionic depending upon what is burning) have been broken to form new bonds ( commonly oxides of course) . New molecules are forming in the oxidation process and in that process there will be a statistical population of free ions. .. it is these hot free ions that have too much energy to be able yet to form a new covalent bond with oxygen.. essentially this occurring once the process is in steady state runaway .. ie excess heat is present from other oxidations which I believe directly breaks other bonds, directly freeing atoms from their former electronic balance into an ionic state. Hot gases, less dense, rise in air and create a stream of free ions .. so the flame essentially acts as a free air electric current stream between your electro magnets. The rest is obvious and I expect I need not say more. Interestingly a candle flame in zero g burns as a sphere! .. no vectored gravitational field to create the differentiated bouancy force. Love your channel btw. Brilliant return to the original experiment with the sodium in the vial! Great work as always! PS. An interesting experiment might be burning different materials and seeing if you can get different materials to deflect in different directions.. some materials might create different populations of positive or negative ion streams... Although my guess is most will be positive.. seeking to bond with negative oxygen's ? .. but I'm totally guessing here. :)

Really fascinating insights! Thanks!!

The Zeeman effect is probably active here. But the Lorentz force also acts on the charged particles in the flame. Tricky to separate the two effects, but you've done a good job trying to isolate the various effects.

I would really like to see the effect of changing the orientation of the magnetic field relative to the motion of the candle flame. It might help give an idea of how significant the effect of Faraday's law type of forces are in comparison to the purely magnetic effects.
