This crazy idea, which has been viral from time to time on social media platforms, especially on Reddit, is “Why not?” it makes the question pop. So, is it really possible for this mind-blowing idea to come to life?
At first glance it’s fine it seems possible There are several variations of this idea. In general, the materials we have; a vehicle and a crane on it, a metal in front of the vehicle and a magnet attached to the crane.
We asked a person who knows the subject and Mechanical Engineer Fatih İnal He told us in a language that everyone can understand whether this idea is actually possible or not.
Can the magnet exert a pulling force on the metal, making it possible for the vehicle to move without the need for gasoline or electricity?
Especially gasoline prices while burning…
“Why wouldn’t it be possible?” You might mean it, but unfortunately it’s not possible!

because fundamental laws of physics makes this impossible. A vehicle cannot be moved with a magnet attached to it, Newton’s first law of motion can be explained with The second and third laws of motion also have arguments to support this explanation.
Each of these 3 laws of motion is defined as:
1st Law: An object maintains its state of motion unless an unbalanced external force acts on it.
2nd Law: The product of an object’s mass and its acceleration is equal to the net force acting on it.
3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal magnitude, same-directed but opposite reaction.
Now let’s consider the first law of motion with examples:
While on a skateboard, with your foot without applying a force to the ground you cannot move. When your car is not running, you get down and move forward by applying force from behind, not while sitting in the car, right? Because if you apply an external effect to an object, you can cause a change in its motion state.
Although moving the vehicle with a magnet actually makes it seem like an external force is being applied, the second and third laws of motion come to our aid at this point.
It is true that a magnet attached to the front of a vehicle will attract the metal in front of the vehicle towards itself. But at the same time, this gravitational force also the reaction force in the opposite direction It will transmit itself to the vehicle through the parts connecting it to the vehicle.
So magnet, tool It will pull and push at the same time. In this case, there is no unbalanced external force on the vehicle, the net force acting on the object is damped by two equal and opposite forces.
Hence, due to the magnet attached to the tool itself will not change the motion state. If it is standing, it will continue to stop, if it moves, it will continue to maintain the same movement (all effects except the magnetic force that the magnet will apply are ignored).
