Subject: deflect a flame

Post:

Hi all

I just saw a demo by Dr. Yoji Takikawa of Galileo Workshop in Japan.

He brought a flat pole of a neodymium magnet (1 inch diameter by 2 inch
long cylinder) up to a candle flame. The flame was deflected away from the
magnet.

I'll send the reason why in the next e-mail so that yoou can figure it oout
for yourself first.
