Magnetic Levitation over copper

Making a Neodymium magnet float over a large block of copper by using the pull of another magnet. This works better that using aluminum because copper slows the magnet down more and allows more control.

what are the materials, one of them is copper, the other?

@straighter100 NdFeB magnets, nickel plated.

WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!

this isnt fake you dumbbells

[cjust2006]

@1paardenkop They said what they did in the description... Which is not what you're saying they did. That's why people are saying you're wrong.

[plasmaninjaa]

will this work with just a sheet of copper? I can get a sheet of copper (like 12x12 inches) cheap.

@endoedgar Indeed,it is not fake,it's Scientastic!

Everyone either thinks this is fake or believes that Lenz's Law is in effect. Read the description people, a second magnet is under the copper plate. You are looking at one magnet opposing another one. It is not fake, there is no EMF, just two magnets. How could so many people be so ignorant?

[Ebbtide007]

@1paardenkop Wow, dude, your ignorance is really on display here. The stationary nature of this setup should tell you that there are no electric currents. The description states that there is “another magnet.” If I were you I would not claim to be so smart when you can’t even read the description and grasp what it is that you are seeing. A magnet opposing another magnet with a copper plate in between them. If YOU are trying to be smart, you fail.

[Ebbtide007]

The fact that there is no motion tells us that Lenz’s Law is not in effect, therefore your argument is invalid. A second magnet is clearly underneath the copper plate, and its field is directly opposing the field of the magnet on top of the plate. So, while your statement would be correct if the magnet were being levitated by an induced EMF, this is not the case. What you speak of is not what is being shown.

@CBfromtheJB No shit Sherlock. Notice how the description says "another magnet."

Where in the world did you obtain that block of copper. It's gorgeous. :)

@tommyv166123 lol 15 times the speed of light, I think Einstein might have missed that train :)

[tommyv166123]

this is how the japanes make trains :D and this is also how the trains go 10000000000 MPH (plus or minus a FEW miles an hour)
