  • @DavidBurnward Another interesting Levitation thing you can do with Magnets (although a bit different than what we were talking about) is to move a magnet rapidly around a conductor, like a thick peice of copper. For insance taking a powerful rare earth magnet, and tossing it down a copper pipe just barely larger than the magnet's circ. will make it fall in "slow motion". I saw an experiment where someone took 2 pipes and spun them fast counter 2 each other and floated a magnet over the top. 

  • @frankensteinmoneymac Oh yes i did forget to mention Diamagnetic but those are not magnetic fields, they are materials the force the magnetic field out of themselves and the result if that the magnetic field MUST remain a given distance away from the magnet so it ends up having a physical manifestation, this is difficult and sensitive with bismuth but superconductors (which i mentioned) are both perfect conductors AND perfect diamagnet, creating a sort of magnetic mirror keeping the magnet up

  • @DavidBurnward I agree with you completely....EXCEPT, for one little issue. U claim that levitation is impossible using non rotating magnetic fields. What about Diamagnatic materials? They can can hover quite easily. (There is also a way to do it with a magnet on top and one on the bottom, but lining it with Bismuth) In that case its not the Bismuth (diamagnet) which is levitated but it somehow stablizes the middle magnet....I sort of forget the reason Y. I remember its delicate 2 do though.

  • @2sonicspeed , no no you misunderstand, those circular magnets are N on the outside and S on the inside; very useful for speakers you see, the ones below are N on the top side and S on the bottom, and no levitation itself is impossible using only non rotating magnetic fields, but it is perfectly possible using A: rotating magnets B: super conductors or (as with the movie) it is partially balanced, it would fall if the wall wasn't on one side keeping it up, and the magnets were off center

  • buen invento lo hare en mi trabajo de ciencias

  • Some people don't understand the fields of magnets. Read or watch movies. :P Before asking strange questions. Or just try it @ home nice projects all over internet.

  • you don't need carbon..a brass rod or alum or wood or just about anything will do...

    nothing to see here folks..keep moving..

  • nice
