Spider does the Spider-Man - Ultrasonic Levitation of a Spider (http://www.hielscher.com)

The video shows a spider levitated by ultrasonic (acoustic) waves. Equipment for the conduct of such experiments is available at Hielscher Ultrasonics (http://www.hielscher.com). In this case, an ultrasonic processor UP400S was used.

Disclaimer:
Never do this to live animals! Acoustic levitation requires very high amplitudes (comparable to high audio volume). In the best scenario, the noise deafens the animal. More likely - it kills it.
The spider shown in this video died a natural death days before its stage appearance. The cause of death could not be determined.

very nice...but i bet he aint happy

@TomInTheSky Do chemical gasses count as natural death?

[SuperStandridge]

I hate that for the advancement of human technology cruelty to other living organisms is necessary in many cases, unfortunately this isn't one of those occasions.

[LunaticQuutamo]

well, but how does this work? And can it be explained to a non-physican?

@TomInTheSky This looks like a job for Quincy.

@TheRealVerbz Both flowing together makes the Phi spiral. Convection and linear movement from rotation.

And since the Earth is round, that Phi spiral will connect in the shape of the Infinity Loop.

Like the path of the moon in the sky over the course of the month.

Or the Sun. Or any celestial body. Follow the path.

So the flux follows along the Y, but the ring itself is along the X which is being stirred like a cup of water from planetary rotation.

Look into Walter Russell!

@WooCla No no.. not around the Earth like that.

The Ring extends around the Earth, yes... but that ring itself is going up and away from you in an arc and then down, the other half of the arc.

Then back towards you in the inverse in an upward arc, and continues to connect that loop.

Thus the rising of the clouds and falling of the rain.

The wind doesn't go around the Earth on the X axis. It travels in a ring along the Y axis. The ring itself it around the X axis but the flux flows along the Y.

[WooCla]

@TheRealVerbz I understand that, but it would make a single direction of wind on the center of earth, perhaps up high, I'm not sure. I can see that explaining the Jet Stream and other high atmosphere conditions, but down on the ground it can't explain these characteristics. Things like the lake effect in western Ny. The direction just doesn't match up. And there are clearly low/high pressure systems that move about from areas of high and low temperatures

[TheRealVerbz]

Because of the shape of the magnetic field, everything inverses at the zero point and we see this as the Coreolis Effect. By nature, all storms will be inversed on opposite sides of the planet. The common direction is a twisted loop.

We can see the proof that top and bottom of a magnet is negative because negative fields are cold while positive fields create heat and light.

The Sun isn't the only reason why the Equator is hot.

The positive pressure and weight is distributed radially in a ring.

[TheRealVerbz]

@WooCla The motion of the Earth contributes to the magnetic field. The Hadley Cells are a combination of the Coreolis Effect and the magnetic current of Earth's flux.

All things in motion are polarized. That polarization is NOT what science claims.

All magnets are Negative on top AND bottom with a ring of Positive.

The shape of the field is a standard toroid. The magnetic current flows In the top, out the bottom, while the positive ring flows 90 degrees to it on the zero point of the x axis.
