Abstract
The effect of a magnetic field (B≤4 T) on a salt-water oscillator composed of a paramagnetic gadolinium chloride solution (ρ= 1.03×103 kg/mL; inner vessel) and a diamagnetic sodium chloride solution (ρ= 1.06×103 kg/mL; outer vessel) linked by a small orifice at the bottom of the inner vessel was studied. Since the low-density solution was placed on the high-density solution, no oscillation occurred without applying a magnetic field. By applying a magnetic field (2–4 T), a rhythmic flow (periodical downward flow or upward flow) was induced under a gravitationally stable condition, the effect of which was in qualitative agreement with numerical computations.
