you're a true teacher , wish u were my teacher in physics.

[jms4323]

so your telling me that if you make a hexagon of magnets and coil on the bottom of a skateboard.... I could make a hover board.... O.o

[kingpiccolo101]

get a large flat magnet and a magnet and watch your magic happen!

sorry!"future"

[cllai777]

wow, you are Marvelous! hope to be your student later n futuer

[radisav]

what material is used for coil?

[MrGhirbo]

fake ! it only repels if the electrict current goes in 1 direction ...

Impossible to make levitation without anything guiding magnets? Well look at these vids:
