  • More magnets in the front duh -__-

  • i refuse to believe this, even if they're completely right :P

  • i have no idea what ur saying but it looks siency so it must be real!

  • I disagree

    

  • Dont loose your magnet! 1:36 lol

  • This video has some flaws.

    1) Cant argue.

    2) Electromagnet REPEL metal. Saw it on a Mythbuster episode as proof.

    3) I need real proof for that. seems legit but arguable. Couldn't you shift your weight to the tips of your toes?

  • stuffy nose?

  • NICE JOB. I tried making the hover shoes from HH for a Science Fair a few years ago. It did not work, and I had to come up with something that hovered instead. I hate Household Hacker.

  • Amazing! Good job guys!

  • it was not a magnet it was a 50 pound PUSH magnets

  • if you fat might not work

    

  • i wonder what would happen if u put a magnet board and two strong magnets glued on the negative side you know... the side that makes them bounce from each other that would be some hover shoes

  • awwww, little kids are in school and their teacher wrote a script for them

  • first they werent atracting they were pushing away from the bar as north on north or south on south thats why it wasnt wrapping around anything. and it was not defying weight distribution he was easily balencing himself as it would work for a waterbug on water(aka surface tesion). little kids

  • ur just a bunch of middle school smart asses. u think u know everything. i bet u dont even know how to tie the shoe lace on the hover shoes (that do indeed work)

  • Good job! Good response!. Great that the teacher supported this, and it would be nice if the insult providers would just appreciate what the students were trying to do, acknowledge they did a great job, and then STFU. (look, you're middle schoolers - you know what that means!)

  • holy crap it would work even without showing u. its like putting a positive end of a magnet to another positive end, but on a larger scale (ever try that?) notice how the magnets will avoid contact, and thats how you create the hover effect. obviously it would only hover on a metal surface. therefore would this could possibly work, but the way it was presented was incorrect. you cant also tape it, the wire was to be conected to metal for the electricity to properly flow.

  • ZOMFG SOOO SIMPLLEEEE Put magnets upside down (n)

    and load the floor with (n) magnets aswell Thus creating a push that will lift u in the air not stable but still in the air

  • I think someone has confused 'jokes' with hoax.

    I laughed my ass off at the first video. It was wonderful. This one just seems kind of dumb in comparison.

    Yes, of course the original video had flaws you could fly a 747 through. That was the joke.

  • Did they actualy make them the way they said to then try? (please answer because I am thinking of trying lol)

  • NERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like if you agree

  • @justin55055 if you don't like nerds/geeks you might as well throw your computer your using on the ground... because guess what nerds/geeks were the ones that made computer technology work

  • NERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • im not trying to be mean but the point about the toes being pointed up is not true. if you pointed your toes up you would lose your balance and would fall on your back. in nature humans were designed to walk with there toes down first so they could stand like they were in real life. assuming hover shoes work. now both sides have good points and i don't like being wrong but i can see how these might work and i see how they might fail. p.s. look for a shadow and it will tell the whole story.

  • I'm disliking this because I'm so disappointed. This is the 21st century, dang it!!! We're supposed to have FLYING CARS by now!

  • @mindsaglowin

    we have force fields, holographic tv, cloaking devices and exosuits in the making though ;)

    and we do have flying cars in the making

  • very good~ ^-^

  • Why did you say in your description: We worked Long and Hard? WTF?

  • Smart Kids. High five guys!

  • my god get a tissue

  • reason 3 really proves that the HH videio was fake ;) nice work guys

  • they glued the pants to the shoes duh!

  • that was one fat ass ankle

  • Thows Fucking kids are retardes

  • yo u guys r idiots the battery wasnt ment to increase the power of the magnet the battery was connected to the magnets to switch the force of the magnets

  • i'm calling mythbusters!

  • i got lots of reason why they are real

    1 the magnets used are 50 pound lift neodymium magnets

    2 they're not normal magnets ther electro magnets

    3 theyre electro magnets so they can be face in a way that they repel metal

    4 they dont sit on somthing to make it look, like ther hovering because in house hold hacker's vid he's spinning around

    .......................Dick Heads

  • kid ether you need some nazilex or tissue cuz u r so congested

  • yes you can da, i tried it worked

  • this is wrong i have learned that in a book it proves the theory of levitation with this such invention hover shoes

  • 1 an electro magnet can be made with a magnet.

    2 the eletricual currntd ran backwards( - to the north + to the south )would cause a lift over metal its claed counter maggnet

    3 your just stupid if you did not know that

  • Comment removed

  • Is there any one of these videos that you found to actually true?

  • @roflchopper213 its friggin obvious what they did. they hung the pants and the shoes and they would spin it around. No shiit sherlock

  • Magnets are not always attracted to metal.

  • Well, I was expecting a crap video, nice.

  • your explanations are most entertaining, it was some time ago when my mind was younger and I humored the possibility of hover shoes, though produced by air flow not magnets [I was young] in my extended thoughts on the subject I had come to the conclusion that balance on such on object would virtually impossible. now i'm sure some egg head will give a great explanation as to how it could work but generally speaking the basic principle remains that if

  • you are in the air from your feet you will be 100% top heavy and have absolutely no traction with which to balance your self. so in short if you could in fact levitate by any means from your feet the effect would be the equivalent of some one ripping your feet out from underneath you at an extreme power and speed, sending you to your face with zero warning. but great work guys and kudos to the teacher that lead the investigation of physics being denied

  • @roflchopper213 Do you realize that personal insults are a clear indication that you have no idea what you're talking about?

    But, to answer your question, my students figured that the HH video "demonstration" was made by holding on to a rope so he could swing around easily.

  • @meggolding Yeah I was kind of disappointing with HH for that one.

  • @meggolding teachers r dumb

  • @roflchopper213 HAHA DUDE YOU JUST GOT OWNED BY A TEACHER!

  • @roflchopper213 maybe...oh i dunno..he hung from the ledge/top of a door?

  • @roflchopper213 Eddy currents can cause a circulating flow of electrons causing repulsive or drag forces between the conductor and the magnet. The stronger the applied magnetic field, or the greater the electrical conductivity of the conductor, or the faster the field that the conductor is exposed to changes, then the greater the currents that are developed and the greater the opposing field. There is more science to hover shoes than you little 9 year old fags can comprehend

  • @roflchopper213 someone needs to tie you to a flag pole and let a class of middle school kids beat the living shit outta you...just a thought

  • @roflchopper213 He was hanging from a rope so he could spin freely.

  • @roflchopper213 dude; shut the fuck up. these's kids were doing it for a class project.

    and house hold hackers used a fucking bar hanging with a chain (ie: a punching bag hangs from) - and they had someone spin them.

    go pick on someone else/ you already think your "smarter"/tougher then these's kids: but i know you aren't smarter then me/ and sure as hell not tougher.

  • @roflchopper213 he could have easily been hanging off a rope,

  • @roflchopper213

    who craped in ur cornflakes

  • I have to say, you 3 did a well done job on explaining the flaws induced by the videos. So all in all, WELL DONE! =D

  • Go blow your nose

  • This video is poop

  • you can make levitating shoes, get 2 " + " and a " - " magnets and when you put them to gather...they repel.... so you you put them on a board and shoes and step on the board..you could float

  • @TheHikoriOne its called the maglev its in japan and my world records book

  • That was pretty good, but I have made a Real pair of hover shoes using a different method. A Lift magnet is a magnet that lifts away from metal and can be bought online if you look up" 50lb lift Magnet" on google. The magnet is then soddered like on the household hacker video. The change is, like you said is that my weight went to the back of my heel and i quicly fell over. The problem is that there is no way to support yourself while hovering. if you've seen "iron man" you he has guantlets.

  • ha, magnets are always attracted to metal...i also tought the same...thumbs up for you ;D

  • dude, do the experiment. i know because you sound like your from elementry school. and the derriction of the current flow makes the electromagnetic feild.

  • @UltraMif71 Not true. You're confusing electromagnets and magnets. Simply applying a current to a regular magnet does not make it an electromagnet. Check out the HowStuffWorks article called "How Electromagnets Work" for details.

  • tshh... nerdsssssssss haha jk

  • @levissk8boy Yeah, we are a pretty nerdy group. I am the teacher of the 3 fine young scientists who built the hover shoes and discovered what we now believe was a hoax.

  • good job

  • gah you stupid fucking retards nobody gets the point of the name lift magnets! they have oposit polarity to a normal magnet!

  • @MurdocFilms1

    AND ARE STILL ATTRACTED TO METAL??? ARE YOU RETARD ¬_¬??

  • @cristianraf no you fucking retard a "LIFT" magnet will "LIFT" itself when cunducted over metal these retards are all using regular magnets not "LIFT" magnets!

  • @MurdocFilms1 Why must you resort to insults?

    I can understand why the idea of a "lift" magnet sounds reasonable, but its simply untrue. There is no such thing as a lift magnet. If you you want to learn about the physics behind magnets and electromagnets, HowStuffWorks has a great article (sorry, YouTube won't allow me to link) called "How Electromagnets Work".

  • pessimistic....but, very good points.

  • My hover shoes worked till i saw this video... i think you just need to believe in yourslef and they work.

  • Myth BUSTED nice work. It could still theoretically be possible to hover over magnets, not metal, with powerful magnets of the same polarity underneath your feet, right?

  • @Crazyeyes32 Yea theoretically it would. But you would fall over. In electronics class in high school we made some hover cars using magnets. The cars were cardboard rectangles with magnets glued the them. They ran down a track that had a row of magnets on each side. The magnets repelled each other, so the car would float. The track also had railing to keep the car from sliding off. So yea it could work, but it would be difficult to keep stable.

  • @Crazyeyes32 That's something we talked about (I am the teacher of the 3 young scientists who busted the myth). I think you could, theoretically, hover over a magnetic surface, so long as that surface had the same polarity (N-N on the magnets, for example). However, you'd have a HUGE stability problem.

  • @meggolding actually that's how they made the fastest bullet train (or magnet train, i dunno what it's called for sure)

    they use ALOT of magnets to do it though, an they have a switch to turn off the magnets while at a station

  • @TheHikoriOne Kind of. You're thinking of a maglev train (HowStuffWorks also has a nice article you'll find if you Google maglev). The general principle there is that 2 electromagnets face each other (one is on the train and the other is on the track). The magnets are oriented to repel each other. Note that this requires a pair of magnets. As my students described in Reason 2, magnets only "hover" from another magnet, not from a (magnetic) metal surface.

  • @meggolding Yep yep =D i was trying to say what you said, only i am really bad at explaining things. Thus, why i don't teach XD.

    Thanks for finding the name for me. And yeah, I remember diagrams of it. 

  • @meggolding hematite (not sure if i spelled it right) which is made into magnets is a metal (or in some cases metalloid) therefore it is possible to lift using magnets of opposite polarity.

  • @meggolding i think you'd have to have them try this myth over a huge magnet (lets say Negative attraction) with a something they can stand on that is Negative atraction.. make sure you can have it on a bar system so they dont go flying off to the side (like guide rail system bars). Let's see what kinda of weight those magnets can handle..

  • @meggolding what magnets did they use? Neodymium magnets are the type used to create the hover shoes. They are a rare earth magnet with strong magnetive qualities. Perhaps find some and try the experiment.

  • you stupid fricken kids you duno anything. In the video i saw he was over a bar made out of some sort of material that caused the magnets to repell. plus the only channels i ever watch are sience channel and discovery and they even did a project simmilar to that in a show i watched.

  • if u had 4 strong magnets installed 2 to the floor and 2 to yourfeet u would hover but they would have on switch and ur weight would probally make it impossible for u to get off the ground try moon shoes

  • it works you need the battery to reverse the magnet

  • the ferromagnetic properties of a nail are not strong enough to lift someone up like that??? rofllll

  • Hover shoes are disproven simply by having a brain.

  • Comment removed

  • ok first your wrong because the ground has negative energy and you just and since the enrgy from the battery will be positive the force of electro magents cant travel through the air in such a way and since it wont travel the force will oppose

  • He wasen't using any magnet though..

    He was using rare earth magnets or w/e you call them.

  • you little nerds

  • it wasent an electricmagnet in da vid u watched and no mater which way magnets face they atract metal wrong! not when 2 north poles colide

  • maybe magnets generate power? XD

  • haha you worked long and hard

  • @cheeseEmonster

    just like ma DIIIIIIIIICK, NIGAH!!!!!

  • If you really want to disprove them, you should follow the given instructions on the video, and if they don't work, you would have a valid point. you don't need a ton of wiring to make and electro magnet. just because a diagram from the internet shows an electromagnet model, it doesn't mean it has to look like it.

  • just because u put more weight on ur heal does not mean that u cannot hover. u can use the muscels in your foot to push on your toes to even it out thus disconecting that (flaw) in hovering

  • haha it was crazy, It worked when i did it. i was floating about 5 inches high, and for the foot postitions you have to balance right.

  • There are some problems with your reasons.

    BUT

    good job, hovering shoes aren't fully impossible, but all the youtube videos are bs.

    If you'd like to make real ones that work, they aren't exactly easy to make.

    It's possible, but very expensive and alot of work is needed.

    And most likely wouldn't be in a form of shoes, more so like a flat surface where the weight is evenly distributed.

  • wat a homo

  • seriously it worked when u did it

  • You clearly did not actually BUILD these. I have built them, and they work. Demonstrational research always beats Hypothetical research. Good day.

  • @ssbmmasterxyz

    Saying that it's completely impossible is false.

    However, unless you're a scientist with great financial backing, no you can't.

  • ya but did you actually build the shoes or is this all hypothetical reasearch plz reply

  • wow dude, household hacker is real, but i actually KNOW how you can magnify stuff backwards, trust me it was real

  • Hanis! Totally harsh little dudes

  • well 9 volts give off a negtive charge when its atracted to a magnet and the wire makes a flow of conituies electrons to the magnet or use the brown affect place it in -320 or liquid nigertion

  • nice

  • and i no i spelled alot rong i was rushing

  • ok eather ur the dumbass ass in the world or ur gay cause not all magnets hit the metal some forse away get dam trains tht have the metal connection and try it it s true

  • thats is not true when you have 2 very astrong magnets facing different directions the will repel eachother and cause a hovring affect. and when your heal is being pushed by a string magnet the heal would be horizontal in an upward direction the only reason i have not tried this myself is because i do not own a sodering iron or however you spell it

  • @darkusmaster96 you don't have a soldering iron? get a AA batery and a pencil... lol

  • Their wiring was NOT to make an electromagnet but instead, when you run an electrical current (AC will not work; must be DC) through a magnet it tends to repel metal. Take a speaker for example. All you need is sufficient power and if it is placed in the right position. Also some magnets CAN push away certain metals. However, this can only be achieved with pyrolytic carbon, it is is insanely expensive.

  • blackjack they would work its just they wired it wrong...i can tell you every reason why all there points were off if you want

  • im just 11 but i still think its mean of him to go making kids sad that hovershoes dont work. even if there fake i think you should let kids have some amagination. plus you didnt even make pair,mabie they would work.................jerks!!!!­!

  • imagination you mean. plus, they just proved why they wouldn't work. people always talk about having metal to give them lift when they magnets they use can not give off energy and would only be attracted to the metal and not able to support the weight of the person. Very good project by the way!

  • your stupid

  • aw the magic of childhood once again ruined by science :( lol

    Good video you guys!

    Thanks

  • You guys rock. 100% dead on. It sounds like you have a great teacher. What a fun project and great anlysis.

  • yeah, i knew they where all fake, but you gave reasons behind it. good job mate!

  • Well done sirs.

  • I have one question though i don't know whos side to support but in the video he was spinning around in the air and i saw another video with a hover board and no one was around it at first so how did that float by strings?

  • Good points! I though of the 2nd one to prove it wouldn't work, but the others are correct too! If I was your teacher, you would get an A+!!! Good job. +Sub

  • can someone explain to me why they think im wrong cuz all i know is that people want to beat me up

  • also the people do not fly like that they do chin/pullups if you have a video of you doing a chinup i will subscribe to you

  • wow just wait for you to take physics Major fail!

  • Good job you guys,you get an A+. Don't let the other stupid youtubers comments get you down, most of them with be gas pumpers at a local gas station when they grow up, but we will be the future.

  • LOL U GUYS HOW DO we have trains wich fly on magnets if magnet is always atached to metal google a litle

  • ehhm.. those trains get pushed of electro magnets...

  • ur a fucking dumb shit fuck i will beat ur ass and that is a promise

  • Comment removed

  • sorry about the rant earlier what i meant to say was you wired your shoes up wrong then you sad it was not hooked up like a magnet then you said it should work like a magnet but they didn't and i still am the same about the gravity thing

  • ok all you did was explain how magnets work and did you even notice that only one wire was hooked up to each magnet causing the metal to act as a repulsion mechanism sending negative to negative and positive back to positive and the last reason was just stupid if you knew about the laws of gravity you would know that you would fall backwards if your foot was leaned up like that so to stay balanced you would need to put your toe down

  • OH MY FUCK you disgrace to all middle schoolers if i find you guys i will fucking beat you senseless i dont have the brightest bulb but no bad comments? if yo udont want bad comments then make a better fucking video how the fuck did he spin assfucks? maybe he shiftes his weight get a better head before you disprove shit and you guys sound like fucking faggots SHIT MAN I WANT TO FIND YOU!

  • lmao the little snitchy piglets need stitches.

  • Before you disprove a video, use the proper tools. In Household Hacker's video, he used 50 POUND LIFT magnets, and did you use electricity currents to go through the cords? Maybe Household Hacker shifted his wait so he didn't fall over also. Think, BTW I'm also in junior high. 8th grade.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • HE TURNED AROUND IN HHH's VIDEO! EXPLANE THAT!

  • mine worked?

  • 1 term comes to mind: Super conductor... anyways hover shoes are possible maybe not in the practical sense of all the fun little youtube videos that people have made (haven't tested any myself so I have no actual proof). Just throw a couple super conductors on the bottom of your shoes and run liquid nitrogen to them constantly and there you go hover shoes. Obviously not practical but I'm just stating how they are possible.

  • did you use LIFT magnets?

  • lol,yeah, because those totally exist

  • goes to show how much you know

  • you need to use an electromagnet and reverse the magnetizm

  • wow nicely done guys!! u are way smarter than i was at ur age lol

  • well done kids, of course the dont work but it took kids to tell most people. if only most kids were like you then the world would have some hope.

  • Souljaboy has his phd!!! zomg look out gais!!

  • it DID work when i made it.

  • @Carvas well why won't you give us a video in an empty room and only wearing shorts...

  • @Carvas

    no it dindt its fake stupid retard

  • @Carvas Ha.....Ha.........unfunny....

  • zis kid got reason

  • you used small magnets

  • you are so stupid you use energy you %&#& retard's

  • it sounds like you all have colds or something

  • And the switch magically makes the hover shoes work? These kids have some good points.. some of them are wrong.. but most are good.

  • a switch allows electricity to flow..

    its not magic.

    when the switch is turned on, the circuit is complete and electrons can move through it. When it is off, the circuit is incomplete and thus the flow of energy is stopped. without this flow of energy nothing will work, obviously haha

    i may be wrong.. lol i learned it like last year in grade 9 so...

  • @radioromance I know how a switche works.. I'm saying that the whole basis of how the shoes would make you "float" or whatever makes NO sense.. just because electricity can flow through the system hooked up to the shoes doesn't mean it would work any better. Haha. =P

  • jsut wondering you dissing on these kids did you get it to work is so il like to see it

  • that the big words you can be wrong you know

  • haha omg I laughed so loud

  • lol troll'd

    the householdhacker guy didn't even have negative contacts to his magnets anyway

  • epic fail... if you were hovering, the gravity would still have the effect on the front of the foot,causing it not to dangle, but meerely be perfectly even with the ground.

  • lol. ur an idiot ^^

  • "no matter which way they face magnets will ALWAYS be attracted to metal"

  • Not serious reply: becuz Metal is fuckin awesome "death to all but metal.

    serious Reply: it is not all metal only ferrous metal

  • When you get older you'll laugh at this ^^

  • If you had enough money, you could buy a whole bunch of magnets, and glue them to the floor. Mabey that'll work...
