In this episode we show you how to create your own pair of Hover shoes which will allow you to "float" over any predominantly metal base. In the video we use the garage since it has metal beams embedded in the concrete but you could do this wherever you find a strong metal flooring.
The 9v battery will turn the standard magnet into an electro-magnet giving it more lift for a small duration of time.
Enjoy!

Very nice idea. In my pair of those I used neodymium magnets instead of speaker magnets, they've got much higher magnetic flux density. Of course if you want it to work really smooth you should apply some electronics to the circuit. HouseholdHacker's construction is based on DC, it's good but uses too much power from batteries, a little DC to AC converter will do the trick.
