Free floating?

[AltoXn]

looks like its haning upside down <.<

[RoboticusMusic]

FAKE I CAN SEE THE FISHLINE 240P CANT FOOL ME!

[yoyo1449]

@RoboticusMusic what line???? you idiot can see a non existent line but you cant see 3 magnets on the stand and one in the center of the FREE FLOATING device

[RoboticusMusic]

@yoyo1449 YOU DON'T HAVE THE EYES FOR IT CAUSE YER A NOODLE EATING YELLA FELLOW.

[nokineeded]

magnets and gyroscopes?

[AlAnsikk]

any coils?

[DurzzToxin]

Protoss anyone?

[TommyiLLtrigger]

its in a magnetic field...and?

[weward]

this looks like what the nazi scientists experimented during their hey days! cool! btw, it was rumored that nazis tried creating a saucer like flying machine and there is this facility

[freemanz1000]

@weward The nazi`s really did try and build one it was called "The Bell" but the machine didnt work ,but the small scale machine in fact did (according to records)

[anthony3leaves]

omg magnets!

[quadcatfly]

CUT THE FISHING LINE !!!!

[rodstartube]

the same principle as "die glocke"

[logobox1]

чё за нах



[bubywashere]

there are magnetic fields holding off the ground and magnetic forces rotating it

[theplayboy2127]

@bubywashere absolurely . it not like gravity has been finished . it was because of megnatic field

[CptMoore123G]

AHTukS is right, there are wires attached. Even though you probably could simulate that movement with magneting forces, it'll be extremely bulky and expensive to do so.

[AHTukS]

LOL , there are just 3 wires which you dont see in this video because of poor quality!

meccablog.ing.unitn.it/article­s/page/6 < LOOK HERE )

[1crazyfocker]

it not just magnets, its electromagnets being used the same way they are in an active magnetic bearing. if it was just magnets (perm) then it would not float, as you can not have true levation using only perm magnets,

[1mplodingcupcakes]

its just magnets nothing special

[kjbaran]

perhaps the video quality is too shoddy to see the fishing wire?

[Mannoroth01]

This looks like the prototype of the new motor of Moller Cars

[dart202020]

its a electromagnet when u boil it all down

[jib1000]

My dad got me some magnets when i was like 7... Glad you finally got some.

[alec00618]

you sure are an american ignorant

[KrispyApplez]

Easy to do. Simply put an opposite charge item within a positive "ring" causes floating 'effect'.

[KrispyApplez]

Wow. Magnets can do works.

[MrJoeSchmoe1]

When we get around to inventing a universal solvent, THIS is how we will contain/transport it.

[Arxiuz2]

WAIT WHAT?!?!

[kutip1027]

Magnets..How do they work



[SvenOkonomi]

Id almost say its hung from a string and filmed upside down.

[evanellakb]

accomplishing what?

[pokerXxvictim]

big =simulated 0gee?

[hexyournightmare]

magnetic levitation ;)

[lanman602]

great, what is used for? If it just does what is shown then it is still useless.

[eqtworld]

Yeah, since it's a prototype there could be no practical application for a floating component in any segment of any industry.... ever

the inventor should kill himself and his children to ensure his genes are wiped from the earth

[MeanderingBeing]

Frictionless Gyroscopes? Zero-point Energy Generators? Stop thinking with a closed mind, and stop friggin' nay-saying!

[unambitious]

@eqtworld

You, sir, are a grade A dumbass. If he made it a substitute for ball-bearings that would be useful in nearly all applications. Again, dumbass. stfu and go back to playing your video games.

[kurisu925]

@unambitious Yes... a substitute for ball bearing that will slam into itself the moment it has any load on it... Brilliant.

[unambitious]

@kurisu925 Why don't you look at a uranium enrichment centrifuge and tell me you don't see any similarity... it's about as brilliant as that. go to how stuff works and search it. Bet you'll end up shoving your foot so far in your mouth it comes out your bottom orifice.

[kurisu925]

@unambitious Yea I could see a centrifuge being magnetically levitated... You do know the upper portion is operating pretty much exacly like the inverted pendulums the chinese used a long time ago as earthquake detectors. If it was spinning even just slightly off balance it would go out of control and start slamming into itself.

[unambitious]

@kurisu925 Oh yea? That's cool, but really, how often have you heard of centrifuges flying off? regardless, there are certain tasks that only magnetic bearings can pull off. Can you blame the guy for possibly trying to create or improve upon a concept already needed and used? NASA went to some lengths to develop mag bearings for gas turbines. These where controlled by electromags to balance any vibes/loads. look it up and again you'll be surprised... *sigh*

[kurisu925]

@unambitious Yes that is true magnetic bearings could be usefull but thier use is limited. If the mass of thier load is just slightly off ballance the bearing will be be torn apart by collisions with itself.

[unambitious]

@kurisu925 okay now you're just being redundant. normal bearings fail too and and I've shown you that mag bearings are reliable. I work on jet engines and bearings wear out or fail entirely from time to time. Yes mag bearings may not be suited for every task yet, but neither are typical bearings. Like I said, it'd be worth the no friction to develop an end all mag bearing (and no lube system on jets which requires maintenance and extra weight). There, enough?

[Jmisfit]

@unambitious You're absolutely right.

[libertypatrol]

and why would you mention something so cold for a video that doesn't cause harm to you.

You probably need psychological treatment man

cuz that sounded really fucked up

[super6plx]

you idiot.. I'm not even going to waste my time on you lol

there are plenty of applications, I think someone else mentioned just a few of them. If anything, you should kill yourself and your children, as violence is worse than making stuff, even if it IS useless, which it's not.

[MyceliaProductions42]

@eqtworld

Hey, kiddies, it's Troll Time!

Everything starts somewhere.

Give it a rest.

[zaperatus]

gasp could it be magnets?

[TheTrafiz]

does it use those very fine fishing lines taht are almost invisible or maybe the four poles around it have ultra stong magnetism to enable it to float?

[Zim804]

Its alive

[frankensteinmoneymac]

"So, what is the trick? The cage that you see moving in the video is suspended to the external ring by means of three thin wires (0.05 mm diameter)." I found this explanation from searching on the meccablog page. Apperently the experiment uses a clever arrangement of the wires to render the device almost frictionless. I thought I would post this since the video is a bit misleading, and seemed to suggest that the device was suspended by magnets or something even more esoteric like anti-gravity.

[zaperatus]

it could just be magnets stupid, get over yourself.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Chill. I was just comenting that it WASNT magnets.....not that you could not do the same thing with magnets....well electromagnets anyway. Generally unless youve got a very highly diamagnetic substance in a strong mag. field, &/or a lightweight diamag substance, you cant get something to free-float without an electromagnet controlled by a sensor, or just rapidly fluxing magfield causing mag eddies in a conductor. Although a superconductor will levitate a mag if its cooled by liquid nitrogen.

[zaperatus]

well it's possible to get that effect with magnets in the top ring, and a magnet on the bottom of the floating devise, having copper cylinders rotating at super high speed below the lower magnet will cause a magnetic field that can repell the lower magnet making it float, the high magnet can then stabilize the top giving it controlled levitation.

[RoboTekno]

WITCHCRAFT! Witchcraft I say!

[jabberwock11]

BURN HIM!!!!!

[Halljac]

Only if it floats like a duck

[brightingsky2009]

You are really funny, I like that kind of humor!

[Nine9tailed9f0x]

@RoboTekno and i say science. magic isnt even real. it's most likely a use of magnets if you look closely at that circle around it. im not that good with science but logically thinking it must be using magnetivity. and using the polarized oppisites to balance the wierd...cylinder thing in the air. there might even be something magnet related under the desk helping it levitate. im not saying im right this is just my thinking on how it works. and saying that magic is not real. everyone should know

[RoboTekno]

@Nine9tailed9f0x Science, what is this "science" you speak of? It sounds to me like you are a witch! Burn the witch, BURN!

-Angry Mob, "Burn the witch! Burn the witch! Burn the witch!"

[ShadyMan01]

@RoboTekno Yes, this one is in league with the devil, burn the heretic at the stake!

[camelsonhorizon]

@ShadyMan01 bulcrap

[megaverse]

Anyone knows a chart or some clue as to how electromagnets consume volt/amps ? I'm aware there is alot of variable i'm just wondering it must take alot of voltage to just do a little pulse or else someone damn brainiac would of use a not perfomant free energy manget whaterver device and reinforce it with electromangets right ? so any place for info would be appreciated. Thanks guys

[Br1ckInTh3W4LL]

an electomagnet is just a coil of wire called an inductor, the only energy used in sustaining the magnetic field is from the wire's resistance. If you use a superconducting wire, the elecromagnet will recover all of the energy used to create the magnetic field when the electromagnet's voltage is reduced and the field collapses. Look up electromagnets and inductance on wikipedia for a better explanation.

[megaverse]

ok thanks

You are a good example on why school should never be skipped.

[Tboyz14]

lol i know right

[Doug9900]

except for the fact that u never get to do that stuff in school

[RHEAD100]

Nice work. Looks SO much better than mine.

Mine looked so bad, I don't want anyone to see. BUT, it did work.

Thanks for shairing.
