I can explain this, The dude needs a video camera and needs to stop using a Twinkie for recording blurry messes

[DjHaRzEr96]

ganz einfach, der schwarze körper ist durch die abkühlung ein supraleiter, da man den magneten fallen lässt bilden sich Abstoßungskräfte zwischen den körper durch die wirbelströme die in den körpern verlaufen ( Lorentzkräfte) am ende wird ganz einfach der supraleiter nicht mehr gekühlt und der magnet hört des schweben auf ;)

und sowas bekommt man im physik unterricht beigebracht :P

[myskillzrhi]

This is just superconductors. When the metal is cooled ( the one sitting on top of the slab), it "activates" the superconductor and it acts like a magnet.

Don't quote me on this I haven't taken physics in a while.

[3dmoddeler]

LOL Superconductor nice

[p51mustang19]

you make this seem like it's supposed to be imposible

[kaykko]

I hate having to explain myself.

Don't ask me why.

[prodigytechus]

It is called FLUX LOCKING. The liquid nitrogen/helium poured into the system with a DIAMAGNETIC graphite slab. The super cold temperature allows the diamagnet to create a locked field system with the Neodymium magnet.

Normally, the diamagnet would simply repel the magnet no matter what pole is introduced - but the liquid nitrogen/helium alters the repelling field of the diamagnet to be of static locking nature rather than continuously opposing the magnet away from its field domain.

[Puppy8412]

Who knows? Who can tell you why? Fools give you reasons but wise guys never tryyyyyy......

[ruudboy26]

maybe you shouldve used a magnet to record this instead!!!

[StateOfMindd]

Its super cooled right? Then the magnet rays flow over the object rather than having it be attracted. Thus it floats!!!!!

what i want someone to explain is why the fuck does this videos quality suck so bad

[ruudboy26]

@hustl3conMuscle210 hahahaha, totally agree, think it may've been shot in the late 70's? lool

[corporallee44]

@hustl3conMuscle210 Can I assume you are struggling with the English Language. Try..What I want is for someone to explain why this video quality is so bad.

I don't know why the other expletives are required in this question.

the black magnet has aids?

[2ad10man]

The black brick in center is made of Yttrium barium copper oxide, high-temperature superconductor. Google it. Levitation of magnet over it is The Meissner effect. Google it too.

[eiuts1]

so, you filmed this with your juice box did you?

[TheBlueCosmos]

obviosly chuck norris held the magnet dur.

[mynameszz]

A perfect example of diamagnetism. Not surprising , since superconductors are considered perfect diamagnets i.e they completely repel the magnetic field they are put in.

[KennethGraham2010]

The material in the center has a low critical temp

[iFrostyPS3]

superconductor... if you cool it, magnets cannot be penetrated by the field of the superconductor... they therefore are locked in space... its called quantum levitation.

[GodOfUnbelief]

It must be God. I mean, since we cant explain it, it must be God, right?

[MrSupersonic113]

WOW! Dont listen to dontickthepineapple, photoshop cannot make stuff "move".

[dima221096]

The black solid on the plate is Yttrium barium copper oxide, a high-temperature superconductor. When liquid nitrogen is poured onto it, the superconductor is able to conduct electricity at almost zero resistance. When the magnet goes on top of the superconductor, it is able to repel and 'hold' the magnet because it wants to resist the magnetic flux change by creating a current to form a magnetic field to repel and attract the magnet... Well that was pretty nerdish

[EdithGuOropeza]

The liquid nitrogen causes the air between the magnet and the block of liqoris to get sticky .. its related to the flipping of the spin of the nuclei analogous to magnetic resonance, which causes the liqoris to exude sticky air .. nah just kiddin :-)

[DawsonTyson]

The answer lies in the material being used. One-the black rectangle is a substance that has adverse reactions to, obviously extreme cold temperatures. I'm sure the same splits to screen heat, this material is the X factor in the equation. To my knowledge there are more than one substances that have these yours of traits.

[danielcarmi305]

Maybe the magnet on the bottom becomes ad superconductor when frozen with liquid nitrogen, then the magnetic field from the magnet passes through the superconductor, and locks in its position, holding the magnet in place

[Andyman3k]

MAG LEV STUPID he flipped the magnet

[soboredboy]

@kaden2cool no its a super conductor. They used liquid nitrogen to supercool the black material making it magnetic. The silver magnet is then attracted and repelled by the black substances magnetic field causing levitation.

[claudio1237]

el principio de la propulsion de los ovnis?

[cyllocybin]

this is an old trick. all you need is a magnet some copper oxide and some liquid nitrogen. instead of a magnet attracting an object the superconductor mirrors the magnetic field causing it to hover. but only works at sub zero temps hence the liquid nitrogen. the superconductor itself has to be chilled out

its still in beta so this happens a lot

[cwedds86]

Superconductors reject any and all magnetic lines thus causing levitation. It only is in this state when it's cooled with the liquid nitrogen. This is a "high-temperature" superconductor since it only takes liquid nitrogen instead of liquid hydrogen to reach the superconducting state. Ask Bill Nye

[ingridnavarro]

Like one of the top comments, was filmed with a casio calculator ! simple.

[coffeechrist4]

Because the big black rectangle is a supraconductor thingney, so its means that when it's really really cold, it will conduct current perfectly and act like a super powerfull magnet

[thehatofwin]

[trfbell]

the black thing is a superconductor. they are awesome. unfortunately they are only active when cooled to a certain temperature, hence the liquid nitrogen, however, once they do become active, they possess some pretty awesome qualities. these include not only being able to keep a magnet stably suspended above them, but they become perfect conductors. zero resistance. you could have a wire of superconductive material that is only as thick as a hair, and have tens of thousands of volts flow through

[trfbell]

@trfbell If you've ever seen the movie Avatar, the planet pandora possesses rich "unobtainium" deposits. unobtainium is so valuable (20 million dollars per kilogram) because it is a superconductor that is active at room temperature. the phenomenon you see in this video is also what causes the floating mountains in the movie. superconductors in the ground + magnetic materials in the rocks = floating rocks

[EmrysMr]

the black object is a superconductor but it has to be cooled to a very low temperature for it to become superconductive ( if it is the right term :D ). what is poured on it is maybe a liquid nitrogen to cool it down. when the magnet is put on top of it the superconductor creates an opposing magnetic field to which makes it levitate. but i guese you better search on google about superconductors if you are really interested

[einsteindrieu]

if you watch closely at 0:32 you will se that he cut of the movie and put somestrings on it... YEAH I EXPLAINED IT!!

[TheRandomnatrix]

This is the only time I'm ever going to be an ass about video resolution. Ahem.

Was this video filmed with a calculator?

[AnonyGrl1]

At the camera cut that happens at :27 seconds, the person stopped filming, turned the magnet over and then started filming again. Two magnets will attract when facing one way and repel when one is turned around. The dry ice fog was merely distraction.

[wowjocke1]

@AnonyGrl1 So if thats how you think it works then try put 2 magnets with the sides that repells eachother and get the one that floats to stay over the other magnet. If you manage with it then I will take this back and call you God.

[gahzeyboe]

Fucking magnets, was this filmed with a _______, if I had a ____ for every pixel... etc etc.

But the question is, will it blend?

[Baldy95z]

Is this how hovercrafts work.

[Amir24100]

what is the black cube???

[Poptartofawesomeness]

liquid nitrogen is the answer, its extremly cold, but thats what it is

[ngneer999]

I'm no expert, but the material in the liquid nitrogen is a superconductor. As the magnet (above) is brought closer to the superconductor, large electrical currents develop in the superconductor. There is no resistance to these currents, so they keep running indefinitely. The currents produce an opposing magnetic field which pushes against the magnet. The second question is: Why can't you do this with two normal magnets with similar poles pushing them apart.

[ViperStingUK]

@ngneer999 What...

[ngneer999]

@ViperStingUK The black cube is a material called a superconductor. It is made of several elements mixed together. At very low temperatures it has ABSOLUTELY no resistance to the flow of electricity. The smoking liquid being poured into the dish is liquid nitrogen. It will cool the superconductor to about -190C (-340F) which makes it work. When a magnet moves toward a conductor (like copper) electricity flows.

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@ngneer999 what would you think it is, YBCO? In space it would work well, it would maybe create extreme gravitational fields and maybe direct the radiation towards a plasma array, similar to a solar cell. who knows, the fields could induce a Bose Einstein condensate on the surface or within the upper layers of the YBCO creating a phonon effect in say a super atom where the whole body if fitted to a craft becomes singular, multiplying energy by photon absorption a local level by many..?

[ngneer999]

@ViperStingUK In copper, the flow of electricity stops because there is resistance to that flow. In a superconductor it never stops. Imagine you stir a cup of coffee. When you remove the spoon, the motion of the coffee will eventually stop. If coffee was a frictionless fluid, it would keep moving in the cup forever. The movement of electricity in the superconductor makes a magnetic field which pushes against the magnet (above the black cube). The magnet will float until the nitrogen evaporates.

[GrimeAndGhanja]

fuck off im not having that fuck off

[jaymanxxxx]

the liquid nitrogen super cooled the magnets thus creating a strong enough magnetic field to levitate the smaller mag,

[musixfreak90]

chuck norris can

[gruzum79]

magnet levitating above a superconducting material. the magnet creates eddy currents inside the superconductor and those currents create a magnetic field opposing the magnet. you used liquid nitrogen I guess to bring the conductor to a superconducting state.

[z0mb3ast]

super heating or super freezing a magnet will cause it to lose its magnitism, but when it cools, or heats up again, the polarity is reversed......uhh winning

[hi5258271]

I can explain it, when you dropped that hot piss on the object the metal was like hell no i dont want to touch that you nasty bitch. Then the object was like, "come on, you know you want too," and the metal was like "ok if you say so." and he then sat on it. And so ya.....  Thats how babies are made.
