Astronomy Inspired Design in Media: Part 13
Willow (2022)
Episode 1: The Gales

8-pointed stars are commonly used as a rose compass, with four primary directions (north, east, south, west) as well as the right secondary directions (north-east, south-east, south-west, north-west)
Tumblr media
Compasses align to the magnetic field and can be created with the help of a magnet. There are three types of magnets: naturally occurring, manufactured, and induced
Tumblr media
Some naturally occurring compasses are the result of magnetic materials like lodestone while a manufactured compass is when a material suspeptiavke to magnetic fields is magnetized. This can happen by rubbing wool on a thin piece of metal or cooling liquid metal in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The final kind of magnet is an induced magnet like an electromagnet. Electromagnets are the result of running a current through a wire. Moving current generates magnetic field and in then a magnetic field generated current. This is principle of electromagnetism (more information to build your own electromagnet)

“Astronomy Inspired Design in Media” is Wednesday (as I find them)

IT SPINS! Handmade electric motor! Entirely out of wire! They said it couldn't be done, but I have proven -- it merely shouldn't be done!
Photos don't really capture how ridiculously complicated this thing was to build, so I managed to film myself assembling the components too! Very proud of that.
In total, I've been working on this project on and off for roughly two years. This motor is my third version, though I went through something like seven designs of the commutator section (not counting how many failures it took to build a working example of a given design). I'm very proud of getting this to work at all.
Some close-up photos of all the components:
Six-way commutator. As the motor spins, this delivers electricity to only the correct pair of magnets at a time, leaving the other four off.

Magnet coils. I wound these by hand from very thin insulated wire. The center is a spiral of thicker insulated wire (darker orange) that protects the thin stands from the steel core and then wraps around the outside to hold everything in place.

Spring-loaded arms. These deliver electricity from the stationary frame into the rotating axle. They also have to hinge up out of the way or else there's no room to fit the rotor in place during assembly.

All the components laid out together before assembly.

And the full motor in all its glory!

So, interestingly enough, I am en electrician, and the ways that electromagnetism and electricity work together is so closely intertwined that writers really should take advantage of how much of a GOD Magneto is. Like he says it somewhere, but he controls a very fundamental force of nature, and in theory, the list of shit he can't do is shorter than what he can with his powers. It's always just a mashup of whether or not the writer is going to take advantage of that, or if they have to nerf him for plot reasons. Like, for instance, he should team up with Storm way more often, because together they'd be overwhelmingly unstoppable.
i think my favorite interpretation of the extent of erik's powers really is if he just decides/knows to lock in cause Theoretically Potentially Maybe Im Not A Scientist Dont Quote Me every atom has the potential to be magnetized. like my brother and i love talking about this cause you just know in the sixties they really werent thinking that much with magneto's powers and then Unfortunately As Humans we learned more and its like 'oh ok so he's an immense threat for a reason beyond what we figured Thats Nice'
him and storm DEF could be more of a threat if they worked consistently together and i loved bein able to see that near the end of FoX and Resurrection. that was rad ....

I thought about the Pokemon Sun Pokedex entry for Magneton, because it's one of my favorite dex entries and how a few times, I thought about it with HMS because - you know. Three of them. Although the general idea of drawing them as Magnemite and Whole as a Magneton was also funny so uh. Here.
This is the entry by the way:

Why does Whole suddenly become a shiny Magneton when they all evolve?
When Harmonia shines or something--
