It's programs like this that give science a bad name.
People see this, use superglue to fix the broken handle of a fryingpan, or the battery lid of a remote, camera, whatever, and it f***ng breaks off the moment you touch it!
See how carefully he lifts the bowling ball using a ring to avoid shearing forces? You can lift that ball with a toothpick or a match that way, maybe even with a spaghetti stick. But I ain't gonna repair stuff with spaghetti!

WTF is "CLEVER" i never heard of this show and iv lived in Australia for 12 years.

@freddotu magnets must have been used to hold the surfaces together while the glue dryed
-
You bunch of fucking lazy fucks get off your ass and try it for yourselves before you shoot off your mouths, I tried it with dumbells and it does hold but breaks loose when lateral force is applied.

LOL at the retards saying its magnets!

i have never gotten super glue to work worth crap. no stronger than white glue. metal to metal, it does nothing. its crap.
-
well that means pretty much nothing unless you have a figure for the surface area it's applied on
-
finally, someone who actually knows the science behind this
it's nice to meet another intelligent person on youtube every once in a while

Idiot do you know how strong a magnet can be even if it is a small one there called industrial magnets.
Actually, that cannot be magnets. If it were magnets whose tesla value were strong enough to hold the man originally, there is no way in hell that person could have held the 2 contacts so close together without forcefully keeping them apart; also, there is no way an electromagnet could have been used either since the connections on the cables will not allow for such a current to support an electromagnet

Super Glue will do all that is shown. What you won't see is the preparation of the surfaces to enable these amazing displays. They must be perfectly clean "on a molecular level" and perfectly smooth and flat. The mating surfaces are probably polished down to near-mirror-finish in order to support the weights involved.
