  • Can it work on a rainy day?

  • @fubleduck It depends on where you live. In my location I can do it under any weather conditions.

  • hey I just have 2 questions:

    1. does the plastic bag have to rubbed against a formica surface?

    2. how long do you have to charge the balloon and bag so that it has enough charge for the repulsion to work

  • thats so cool! I never would have guessed that the repulsion forces would be strong enough to levitate something! thanks :)

  • Fantastic! thanks for the inspiration!

  • Amazing!

  • Mr. Steiner,

    Outstanding videos. Thanks for imparting such important natural knowledge.
