Abstract
It was found that wind can be induced by heating in a magnetic field gradient. The effect was explained in terms of the following mechanism. When the temperature of air increases, its susceptibility decrease because of the paramagnetic property of oxygen gas. In this case, the magnetic force, which is proportional to the susceptibility, decreases. The change in the magnetic force produces an effective force acting on the air, and wind is induced. We have observed the phenomenon experimentally by using a heating system placed in a superconducting magnet.
