In #MESExperiments 50 I measure the drop rates of magnets in attraction, magnets in repulsion, and a nonmagnet when placed in an Atwood machine with the same counterweight. The magnets in repulsion fell

In this experiment I have combined the magnet drop tests by Paul Mueller in side-by-side view to better demonstrate that magnets glued in repulsion fall significantly faster than when placed in attraction.

These are some very interesting experiments by Bob Greener in showing the resulting magnetic field of magnets that are forced together while in repulsion. The idea for the experiments came from trying
