Can Magnetic Field Generators Safely Contain Dangerous Substances?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of using magnetic fields to safely contain dangerous substances like electricity or plasma in a compact, tube-like device. While some participants express skepticism about the practicality of this idea, they acknowledge that existing technologies like wires and capacitors already serve to manage electricity. The conversation highlights the challenges of creating a handheld magnetic field generator capable of such containment. Participants debate the definitions and concepts surrounding electricity and storage, emphasizing the complexity of the topic. Overall, the idea remains largely theoretical and ambitious, with significant scientific hurdles to overcome.

Is it possible to make a magnetic field generat something to contain something in a compact form like say i wanted to make it thin and tube like to hold electricty or plasma something in which is to dangerous to hold but could be contained in a magnetic field sorry if I am being a bit confusion I am just saying if i wanted to make a strong magnetic field how would i do so and if its possible to compact like a handheld device

I'm not going to say it's impossible, just... well, let's say that there's a Nobel Prize waiting for you if you make this.

Are you trying to be "Magneto"? Or are you doing fusion experiments?
 
We already have something that holds electricity, or at least electricity as defined in the dictionary. It's called WIRE.
 
Doc,

I believe you are incorrect. Wire
is not used to hold electricity
is the sense of storage that the
question implied.

A capacitor is closer to what he
was interested in, but still does-
nt fit the bill.

I checked a little closer. The word electricity is not defined too well. It is pretty broad. However, they define dynamic electricity similar to how I described it in my previous post. At any rate, storing electrons staticly such as in a capacitor is nothing new either.
 
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
