  • How is this different from two opposing magnets pushing against each other?

    If you had opposing magnetic fields coiled around the metal it would "levitate" too right? Without the heat.

  • Yes you are correct. We would be able to levitate but no heat would be produced. You would get the levitation without the melt!

  • get better video camera and upload again

  • no, it's not at all like a sun. A sun is powered by nuclear fusion

  • you need a better cam dude. also i wanted to see it drop into the water :(

  • Its like you could do that with your ex-girlriend's brain

  • @Deadzo First of all what do you mean when you say "opposing magnetic fields coiled around the metal"? I think you should reconsider that statement. And I disagree with Ambrellinduction. You would get neither the levitation or the melt. The magnetic fields in the video are alternating. If you place a copper sphere into a steady magnetic field (like the situation you suggest), it would just drop through it.

  • Who needs a girlfriend if you know science?

  • FILMED AND EDIT WITH A FREAKN CALCULATOR!!

  • Whats the energy input and the heat output?

  • yea,...... right

  • HEY, this vid goes with "Enjoy the silence"!))

  • get a girlfriend... ASAP...

  • Try that with magnesium :)
