Magnetic Levitation

Why not try liquid oxygen instead of nitrogen. Lets see what can happen

Cool trick, hehe...He used a neodymium magnet in a ceramic bowl, Then added liquid nitrogen. And what happens is that the liquid nitrogen will evaporate in air around the magnetic field, it will form a barrier that will repel a relatively light object afloat. The magnetic field was suppresed when he pressed the object down the magnet. And as more liquid nitrogen evaporates, the field/shield weakens. He's good :)

You should know what you say is not true. Thats called superconducing levitation made by superconductors. You said the top object should be light, but it's a Neodymium magnet and you can be sure it's not light. Search it in google or anywhere you like, but please, do not say it's a trick. That's PHYSICS

For all you who read that:

very cool :)

what magnet is the silver one?

is this because nitrogen has 3 unpaired electrons, thus increasing magnetism?

No, it has nothing to do with chemical properties of nitrogen. The phenomenon that is responsible for that magnet's levitation shows up because nitrogen is extremely cold (around -200°C) and it's cold the superconductivity. It stops when magnet gets warm.

liquid nitroen is cool... but i'd rather have the super conductor.. combined it would be awesome though

can anyone purchase liquid nitrogen and if you can tell me where and any safety precautions i should take before using it.

im not sure ask a science teacher at a college or professer maybe
