Magnetic fields can align the spins of electrons in materials, potentially leading to observable changes in angular momentum. The discussion references the Einstein-de Haas effect, which demonstrates that total angular momentum is conserved, causing an object to rotate in response to aligned spins. The conversation distinguishes between the proposed model and a permanent magnet motor, emphasizing the absence of alternating current in the model. The historical context of the Einstein-de Haas experiments, conducted before the discovery of electron spin, is noted for its relevance to the topic. Overall, the interaction of magnetic fields with electron spins raises intriguing questions about angular momentum in suspended objects.
