When any conductor, either a wire or an ionized gas. is pushed across a magnetic field, two things happen: 1) an electric current flows through the conductor and 2) the conductor meets resistance and therefore slows down.

But, I neither predict...

Montreal viewers were delighted, bombarded the station with scores of phone calls. Sample: "I've been watching that live commercial for months just waiting for something like that to happen.
