>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 11 13:57:42 2011 No.2681663 This is retarded The boom that the magnet is on moves the center of mass too far forward... it'd probably just topple over. You need a counterweight on the back.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 11 14:16:42 2011 No.2681757 There's this common misconception that magnets are magical and don't obey the laws of physics. The reality is that the magnetic force is not that great in comparison to other forces.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 11 14:18:42 2011 No.2681769 >>2681720 Retarded.

>>	Mr Wigger Fri Mar 11 19:01:42 2011 No.2682767 Yeah.. no. How would you even turn? Further more, the magnet would have to be very supported, and even then >>2681663 this would probably happen. idon'tthinksotim.jpg

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 11 22:03:42 2011 No.2683769 Wouldn't the magnet want to move towards the metal as much as the metal would towards the magnet? I'm sorry if I sound like captain obvious.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 11 22:05:42 2011 No.2683786 >>2683769 yup, precisely why it wouldn't work

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 11 22:09:42 2011 No.2683808 >>2683769 Exactly right. This is Newtons third law of motion. If you realize this, then you know Physics better than about 80% of the general public.
