Watch a Fascinating Demo of Collisions Inside a Conductor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a demo illustrating collisions inside a conductor using marbles and nails to represent atomic positions in a lattice. Participants recall the setup where marbles slide down a board, consistently colliding with nails, which maintains their velocity. A request for a video link of this demonstration is made, with a suggestion to search for "marble electric circuit model.mpg." The conversation highlights the educational value of visualizing electron behavior in conductors. Such demonstrations effectively convey principles of conductivity and atomic interactions.

I remember seeing a demo of collisions inside a conductor. It was a long board with nails representing the atom positions (a square lattice arrangement) and you would put a hand full of marbles at the top. The marbles will slide down but since they keep hitting the nails the velocity will be constant.
Does anyone have a link to a video showing this demo?
Thanks!

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
