Acoustic Levitation Lifting

Part of a 4th year Engineering Physics design project at Queen's University.

A piece of Styrofoam is levitated then dropped and picked up again using only sound waves.

@meandmyevo Not saying here that I don't believe it, but I'll wait for some proof before getting excited.

Directly from his own website: "WARNING: The re-creation of certain aspects of these experiments can cause all different types of unknown and unchartered scalar effects such as temperal distortions."

Temperal distortions? You simply CANNOT hope to be taken seriously when you flaunt this kinda garbage.

If the results are deemed to be non-repeatable, then it isn't science. Until his findings are verified by an external source, this just isn't science.

@RichLOAguy Wiki says the same thing I said: nobody but Hutchison has recreated the effect.

@PsychoRaptor117 Try WIKIPEDIA - search: JOHN HUTCHISON or search: HUTCHISON EFFECT.

Wikipedia has all the information on this, as it is accepted fact and mainstream science.

(Thumbs up this comment please, so other people unsure can search as well) Thanks.

Hutchison Effect is accepted. John Hutchison has received funding to take his research to Japan. Hutchon uses random Rf frequencies, and sound mixed.

Amazed at how this guffawed avenue of science several years ago is becoming accepted as fact thanks to Youtube, and experimenters like this. Now if we can just learn to throw a spin on the gravitons in rocks we will have pyramid building down pat.

@angeleyes6969 I just had a quick search on Web of Knowledge for "Hutchison Levitation" and I can't find anything proving it to be a real effect on there. Looks like it's just Hutchison that claims it is real and nobody else has been able to recreate it.

@angeleyes6969 Technically, RF refers to a frequency range and if this levitation is operating at 13.8kHz as someone else said, then it is in the RF range. But you did say that you weren't talking about sound, so I'm guessing you mean radio frequency EM waves? I can't say I've heard of that used in this sort of way, although EM waves can be used to contain very small objects using optical tweezers, but that's not in the radio range.

[angeleyes6969]

@PsychoRaptor117 the Hutchison effect supposedly accomplishes something similar using RF waves rather than sound waves.

[PsychoRaptor117]

@angeleyes6969 I have no idea what the Hutchison effect is. Unless it's a name for "levitating objects in the nodes of standing waves created by an acoustic emitter and reflector", it's not what you're seeing in the video.

[angeleyes6969]

and the "officials" say the hutchison effect is not real... uh huh...
