permanent magnets

magnets dont require the earth to work you know

most generators are of the permanent magnet variety

are you sure?

its just a metal in which everything is oriented internally

Cylinder magnet in a plastic tube, copper wound around the tube. Shake.

@Mersenne I didn't even know that's the reference I was responding to, but it was. Well played.

younrealize that magnets work in space all right

and in all of our probes on other planets

It's almost like the same elements found on Earth are also in space

and in the outer reaches of the solar system

And they have the same properties

Whodathunk

someone is confusing the earth's magnetic field for that which makes the magent work

Magnets even work in California

IKR!

Any conductor moving through an electric field will induce a current

I'm pretty sure every other planet also has a magnetic field

nope

mars doesn't

some do some dont

no iron core

Generally requires a metal core

Ferrite core

yup

and you dont ned them for magnets to be magnets so it doesnt matter

Most planets have metal cores, even the gas ones as far as I know

they exist to help protect against cosmic rays

earth is a dynamo, creating it's own field in the same way a generator does

how do you inform your boomer parents politely that youre not supposed to eat wraps raw and thats why they taste like ass

MA's right - Electricity is the manifestation of the movement of electrons, and so long as there is substance, there can be electrons. Thus there can always be an electrical field, regardless of whether or not it is in space.

Everything comes down to the movement of electrons

Jupiter has a metallic hydrogen core

no iron or very little

isnt
