	Physics Demonstrations - Magnetism
		The reason the ball is ejected is that the magnetic field decreases radially outward from the axis, and thus the ball rests in a magnetic well for motion along the axis, but it rests unstably at the top of a magnetic hill for motion perpendicular to the axis.
		A permanent magnet is brought near a cathode ray tube causing a distortion of the pattern on the fluorescent screen to illustrate the effect of a magnetic field on moving charged particles.
		The magnetic field produced by the coil is proportional to the number of ampere-turns in the coil which is given by NV(C/L), where N is the number of turns, V is the capacitor voltage, C is the capacitance and L is the inductance of the coil and its leads back to the capacitor.

	Magnetic Island News - Magnetic Island, North Queensland, Australia
		Expectant mothers on Magnetic Island are being advised that the Magnetic Island Health Service Centre (the Clinic as it is known) does not provide a routine birthing service and that expectant mothers should not plan to have their babies at the clinic.
		Mr Hill said that emergency deliveries can be performed at the clinic, however the optimum for mother and baby is that they are near to all the medical resources available, for example an operating theatre and pediatricians, to maximise the best possible outcomes for both mother and child.
		Mr Hill went on to say that mothers who present at the clinic in the first signs of labour are, in most circumstances, transferred to the hospitals in Townsville via ferry or Queensland Ambulance chopper.

	Moncton, New Brunswick
		Magnetic Hill is Canada's third most visited natural attraction and is adjacent to a family theme park.
		Eight frustrating hours later, when the reporters were ready to give up, the phenomenon of Magnetic Hill was recorded as the reporters watched their 1931 Ford Roadster roll up the hill without them.
		Magnetic Hill was officially recorded by a skeptical group of believers.

	Magnetic Mountains; Short Communications (Skeptical Inquirer May 2002)
		Magnetic mountains are geological structures with some slope (strictly speaking, a slope-or a height-not necessarily counting for a mountain but for a hill) that allow every rolling or flowing object or substance to appear to roll or flow uphill.
		A theory brought forward by a student was that a strong magnetic field might be the force that pushes the materials (usually cars of local tourists) uphill.
		Such a strong magnetic field seems unlikely, and amongst the materials tested by us on the Los Baños hill were glass marbles of around 1 cm diameter, empty plastic bottles, and water that was poured out, all of them known to be not magnetic under normal conditions.

	Sloping off - 22 April 1995 - New Scientist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The local residents have finally had to admit that the hill is not really magnetic, but is actually a very convincing optical illusion produced by the local topography.
		The fact that the car appears to roll up the hill is due to an optical illusion caused by the relative alignment of the embankment and the road.
		It occurs when the true horizon is obscured by the surrounding hills and more distant hills in the direction of travel are rather lower than the nearer ones giving one the impression of approaching the summit of a pass.

	Magnetic Hill
		Taking your vehicle to Magnetic Hill is one of those things that you must do if you want to experience something that is just a little bit different from anything else.
		Magnetic Hill was formerly known as Bruff's Hill, a name which originated from 35-year- old James Bruff, of Willunga, settling on Section 206, Head of Black Rock Plain, in 1897.
		He was driving in the vicinity of Bruff's Hill and happened to get a puncture right on the section of the road now know as Magnetic Hill.

	Magnetic Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Magnetic Hill is an example of the gravity hill type of optical illusion created by rising and descending terrain.
		Eventually with the rise in tourism after the Second World War, along with local highway construction which saw a “Mountain Road” bypass built further west from Magnetic Hill, the roughly 1 kilometre segment of gravel road became one of Moncton’s prime tourist attractions (along with the tidal bore on the Petitcodiac River).
		To experience the “Magnetic Hill” today, drivers must pay a small fee to drive their cars to the end of the road (which has been preserved), where the cars are placed in neutral; the cars then begin to roll backwards, apparently uphill.

	Magnetic Hill
		Because magnetic hills are a result of an optical illusion, this only works if you drive down the hill and then back up.
		Tour guides may like to claim that the effect is a mystery or that it is due to magnetic or gravitational anomalies or even that it is a paranormal phenomenon that science cannot explain.
		In fact magnetic anomalies are never that strong and are never the cause as is easily shown.

		I went to Magnetic Hill once when I was a kid, and a while back I read about it in a book - I don't remember the title of the book or the author's name, but he was a big fan of Charles Fort's.
		What the book says about Magnetic Hill (New Brunswick, Canada) is that it's a place where gravity is inversed and people disappear more than usual.
		They claim that magnetic hills are, in fact, descending slopes that look like climbing slopes, but I beg to differ.

		It is believed that the spirits of the people killed here still live on and will push your car up the hill as far as they can if you either turn off your car completely or just put it into neutral.
		And after your car is done going up the hill, you are supposed to get out of your car and look on the back of your trunk and yout will see all of the handprints.

		In other words, the slope looked like it was going down, when in fact it was going the opposite direction by about 5 degrees, explaining the "magnetic" properties.
		Drive your car to the foot of the slope (marked by a sign that says, Magnetic Hill, Stop Here) put your gear in neutral, and watch the Hill pull you up.

	Burlington's Ghosts 3-Magnetic Hill-Official Site
		Early reports of strange magnetic properties and even stranger incidents began in the late 1970's when the rural road was then known as "Dump" Road since it was the entrance to the Burlington LandFill Site.
		Magnetic Hill is a public road, total length of the hill is approximately 200 metres.
		There are many stories of car's stalling on the hill and seeing an image of a man who was killed in a car crash on the bottom of the hill.

		As early as the 1800s local farmers noticed their horses had trouble pulling the wagons down hill, but uphill they had to run fast or the wagon would catch up to them.
		Many stories were told about the hill, and the news began to spread.
		Later a bypass was built around the hill and it became a permanent tourist attraction.

	Gravity Hills
		This place was called "Gravity Hill" and it was somewhere in Baltimore County, Maryland.
		Sure enough, as we experienced firsthand, if you positioned your car at the bottom of the apparent rise on Gravity Hill, and left it in neutral with the brake off, it would very decidedly roll up the road--as if in defiance of gravitation--for about a tenth of a mile before stopping.
		Interestingly, at least three additional gravity/magnetic hill locations in Maryland (they have not been thoroughly investigated) have come to the attention of the Enigma Project and we have heard about other locations throughout the U.S., Canada and abroad.

	Gravity hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gravity hill (also known as a gravity road) is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope.
		The slope of a gravity hill is an optical illusion, and gravity has nothing to do with it.
		However, as the names also suggest, these areas are typically found in hill country, suggesting to skeptics that the actual effect being experienced is optical illusion due to mildly sloped ground being interpreted by the eye as horizontal, particularly where no distant horizon is visible as a reference.

	Magnetic Hill - Burlington - Ontario
		The Magnetic Hill is in North Burlington along a rural section of King Road which runs from Burlington Bay to the top of the Niagara Escarpment.
		Even though nobody knew exactly where it was located most knew that it was somewhere on the ‘Dump’ Road as it was known in those days because that is where the entrance to the Burlington Landfill Site used to be located.
		It was not until 1985 when a local newspaper published a story about Burlington’s ‘own’ Magnetic Hill that I learned about the exact location.
