Can I Levitate a Magnet?? (part 1)

[@JMMC1005]

What you're trying to achieve is unfortunately impossible. Have a look at 'Earnshaw's Theorem'. There is no combination of magnetic and gravitational forces which will allow a magnet to stably levitate, and this has been proven mathematically. To make it work, you need to use one or more of the following: - Diamagnetic materials such as bismuth or pyrolitic graphite, as these enable stable configurations to exist. - An additional stabilising force (such as guide rods, or by spinning the levitating magnet so that it acts as a gyroscope). - Active stabilisation using electronics - Superconducting materials, which levitate via flux pinning.

I hope by part 10 you show us your quantum locking levitating magnet setup. (Brill video, thanks!)

I think you might be talking about part 20 lol 😄! Nice to provoke a little bit of thought. Thanks for the message! Pete.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing your process

Thanks very much!🤟

New subscriber here. Your videos are great! No "click bait" nonsense and very logical trial and error demonstrations. Real honest videos like this are what sparks imagination and ideas for other creative minds. Well done sir! Cheers!

A fun experiment to see if a magnet can be balanced using only other magnets :-) (part 1)

[@idk--7443]

Try angling the bottom magnets. put them outside the diameter of the ring magnet.

[@DeanChicquette]

I am very interested in seeking set of magnets mounted without metal on a rectangle board. They need to be able to spin. The n/s ends need to be marked/colored. I want to see what happens when one of the magnets is turned how the field of magnets react. To simplify a row of say 6 or 7 are attached to a board and the resistance of the first turning jut one is measured and then the next and next till the last. To continue I’d like to see the first magnets ability to generate a charge and each there after to see if there is a mechanical advantage. Ther mounted magnets should be able to be adjusted on the board to test for changes give increasing or decreasing their distance from one another. Do you have any ideas on how to do this or try it yourself?

[@onklim3132]

Impossible. This universe doesn't allow that.

[@kenvaneyk3420]

Once you have it floating other magnets could be added to the outside of top round magnet then using your bolt idea with magnets it should freely be able to spin your top magnet due to the fact that there is zero resistance of your top magnet, creating free energy.

[@kenvaneyk3420]

Also make sure your centre magnets are not to long so that the positive and negative field it creates are close together.

[@onkcuf]

Me too,the first part.

What's the song/music in the video? I can't search it for some reason with Shazam or SoundHound.

[@petesshed8422]

Hi Red, you can find it on youtube audio library - from memory it is by anno domini / 'glass'.

[@MPHJR]

I say try making stabilizing magnets closer together so a few more aught to do it for the edge stabilizers. and the ones on the board, might work better if the center of the magnets are lined up with the outer edge of the large ferrite magnet now you need to enclose the ferrite magnet with magnets from above the ferrite and below the ferrite so that it has no where to go, very nice setup.

[@petesshed8422]

I think more stabilising magnets will definitely go into the modifications so thanks very much for the input!

[@Sludge73]

I thought you were trying to use the magnets own power to control it using the bolt heads. Worth a shot?

[@Fogmeister]

Simple. Instead of using a floating magnet that has both north and south poles. Just use one that only has a North Pole. A magnetic a monopole if you like. I’m sure that’ll be easy to get hold of…………. 😂

[@MV-vv7sg]

04:18 (might have solved this after this time stamp) but perhaps the issue could be solved by putting springs between the ends of each bolt (the OD of the circle/ octagon they make) such that the tension between all springs (being a circular in a closed system) means the bots don’t swivel unwantedly…?

[@petesshed8422]

Thanks for the ideas! Pete.

[@kenvaneyk3420]

Not unlike your tube. Stabilize your bottom magnet to the base magnets. Then drill one centre hole inside your base magnet, push one in to hold the first one from moving then stack the remaining magnets one on top of the other going up. Once you have 3 or 4 inches of magnets stacked on top of each other place the second circular magnet over. I believe the centre magnets will create a positive negative field that neither attracts nor pushes away. Allowing the second round magnet to find its own centre and float.

[@MV-vv7sg]

I wonder who would finish first; an engineer with trial and error positioning of magnets or a physicist using flux equations to determine positions? I’d reckon the trial and error takes as much time as the flux equations (if doing them by hand which to me is a fair given the engineer isn’t using autonomous manufacture - I’m assuming).

[@petesshed8422]

Haha! If I could stop time I reckon I could get the perfect setup in part 2!

[@XavierAway]

I take it you realised this is completely impossible? The weight has to go somewhere and all you can ever make is a saddle, right?
