Can an electric field stop a bullet?

Typically, no. Most bullets aren’t ferromagnetic – they aren’t attracted to magnets. The same way a magnet falls slowly through a copper pipe, the magnetic field can induce tiny currents in the electrically conductive material, pushing it a little bit.

How strong would a magnetic field have to be to stop a bullet?

If the initial energy is 600 J (typical of pistol bullets) and you can exert a force of 10 N, you need to exert the force for a distance of 60 m to stop the bullet. Exerting a magnetic force over 60 m is hard. Exerting a magnetic force of 10 N on a non-magnetic bullet (copper jacketed lead) is hard.

Can 20000 magnets catch a bullet mid air?

The video concluded that 20,000 magnets cannot stop a bullet mid-air.

Are ForceFields possible?

Although the force fields used in science fiction may not conform to the known laws of physics, there are still loopholes that might make the creation of such a force field possible. First, there may be a fifth force, still unseen in the laboratory.

Are force fields possible?

What is a M855 Green Tip?

What is M855? M855 is often called “green tip” ammo for its special color coding (the full metal jacket is painted green at the nose). These 5.56 cartridges push a 62 grain projectile designed with a boat tail, lead core, and a special steel “penetrator” tip.

Can magnets stop a bullet Mrbeast?

Can a magnetic field stop a bullet?

Depending on the material of the bullet a sufficienly strong magnetic field might polarize the bullet and make it subject to magnetic pressure, which would alter it’s course. I think that a very large (extremely large) alternating transverse magnetic field will (nearly) stop it.

What is the minimum deflection required to deflect a bullet?

1a) Deflect a speeding bullet away from centerline of a human being’s chest (assume this requires a deflection of 25 cm). This deflection must happen over no more than 1 m of bullet trajectory.

How hot does a bullet get in a magnetic field?

Because the bullet is metallic, eddy currents will be generated in it when it enters a transverse magnetic field because of dB/dt = dB/dx * dx/dt = v dB/dx. If the bullet were copper, 500 joules in a 8.16 gram bullet would heat it up about 159 degrees C (the heat capacity is 0.385 joules per gram deg. C) before it stopped.

Can a magnetic force field protect a ship from radiation?

To fully shield a ship from the most dangerous radiation would require a magnetic force field system of at least 9 tons. This is a tremendous amount of weight to carry considering how expensive flying any material into space can be. When they do arrive, force fields will be a transformative technology.
