Levitating aluminium plate

A plate of aluminium levitating over four coils, which create a magnetic field. Each coil with 600 windings, about 8A altogether.

I can do that with my mind

@danmo43 This happens due to Foucault Currents that appear in the aluminium, this doesn't work in DC current

FUNNY THING HAPPENS WHEN YOU DECREASE THE AMPS ALOT AND INCREASE THE VOLTS AND CHANGE THE HERTZ TRY IT

My chili makes you do that too. But I like the concept, auto brakes that don't wear out!

@TonyTrue3 it works only with alternating curent (AC).

[TonyTrue3]

@mircea888 so what does it work on? alternate current?

schematic please

[fisch747]

What frequence has the current? And how many Volts? Is it a Sine Voltage or a pwm? Thx

I'm interested in trying this, but I'm not certain of the electrical outlay. I would appreciate any help in that regard. "Are there Multiple power leads from a generator or an outlet, and where's a market source for the Mini lab grade transformers?"

@str8out it's special because aluminum isn't actually magnetic. Try sticking a normal magnet onto a pop can. It won't stick. But, under certain conditions (like the alternating current magnets in the video) you can produce Foucault Currents which are able to affect aluminum. You can do this at home by putting an aluminum can on its side and moving a powerful (IE: neodymium) magnet very quickly over it. If you do it right, the can will roll side-to-side.

What's so special about this? Modern monorails work on levitation...

all this radiation is making me thirsty
