It's called Magnetic fields, get it? ;-)

Wow how did you get Mr. Bean to narrate your video? Seriously though your voice sounds all mumbley next to the (too-loud) music. I hope that you can redo this video where I can here your explanation of how you arranged the magnets. Id like to try this experiment myself. It seems pretty cool.

[RBare2007]

Everyones a critic ;-)

I've had restricted nasal passages since birth, despite an operation to correct it...well as you can hear the operation failed.

This is not diamagnitism. I think you just flipped a ferromagnet somewhere. The clue is that diamagnatism is tiny compared to ferromanitism in all materials except superconductors, so the the attraction to the metal on the base would far outweigh any diamagnetic effects you could introduce.

[RBare2007]

You are correct that it is not true diamagnetism, but I assure you that no ferromagnet was used, they are all neodymium magnets, the trick is in the way they are mounted, it creates one pole at the center and the opposite pole at the outside, then the magnets are then placed in the tube so that poles repulse, eg bottom north to north, top south to south, the force from the edges reaching up over the top of the central magnets, so they become effectivly trapped in a null.

This Jean Michel Jarre music reminds me those good ol'days of my childhood, playing Mega Man on my 8-bits Nintendo :-)

@RBare2007 Neodymium magnets are ferromagnets... Neodymium Iron Boron (NIB) magnets

my god, next time if you really dont want to take that potato off your mouth, try lowering the music volume a bit, so we can understand too

@frankensteinmoneymac Ok so I am revisiting this reply from 8 months ago about my comment....where I think the guy making fun of the poster of this video for sounding like Mr Bean is a jerk, but realise I was the one who posted THAT a year before! SO now....looking back on it from 8 more months my opinion is that I was STILL a jerk....& now I am worrying about my obssessive behaviour in re-evaluating my actions every year or so...hmm More to say about this in approx 8-12 more months. Stay tuned.

i got bored after 10 seconds so i went lol

[XxlargemanxX]

get those lab results back?

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Yep....and sometimes that jerk is yourself from a year ago LOL!!

[frankensteinmoneymac]

I spek pefretc typonese.......I juts havr truobel raeding it someitmes.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Huh, thats funny I read this comment and though....Gee that guys a jerk for saying this guy sounds like Mr. Bean!, especially with the poor guys restricted nasal passages!......then I realized that I wrote this comment a year ago.......hmmm there's probably a moral to this somewhere........I cant figure it out though so, oh well.

[RyuDarragh]

Wha, you no spek typonese ?!?

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Yep......Could barely understand a word
