You are really cool and funny I subscribed instantly

[@3DSage]

Thank you so much! :)

[@QueenAria00113]

3DSage no thank you for the entertaining videos

[@javidx9]

Man your videos are well polished, and as a bonus, educational too! Great Stuff!

[@3DSage]

I spent a few extra days and many late nights on this video so I'm glad to hear you like my work! I always look forward to your next video so keep them coming!

[@THE_ONLY_GOD]

NICELY DONE (aside from the brown print). The focus and cleanliness is appreciated. So are the 3D files and the tutorial and the BOM!

[@volttherobot]

Nice video - I especially like the dramatic intro and that you included the "oopsie" first attempt. KEEP ON MAKING! :D

[@3DSage]

Thank you for saying that! I've got lots of fun projects I want to make! Thank you for watching.

[@ajpran]

Awesome project man ! your video so good, nice camera and nice editing the video too... thanks

[@3DSage]

Thank you for saying that! The camera work and editing is part of the fun for me. :)

[@deanallenjones]

THANK YOU! My freind and I were talking about somthing like this the other night. We asumed we'd need an ardu\iuono etc. So thanks for the low tech but V smart solution!. Reminds me of school when we did the light dependand resister cuicuit, but instead of hocking up a bulp i used a relay and a lamp OVER the sensor, so tuning it on, turns it off :) V impressed sir, and thank you again!

[@3DSage]

You are welcome! :) I really wanted to keep it as simple as possible. I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for your comment.

[@mrmeseas1225]

Also a few blobs of soldier will add enough resistance to lower that wires temps :)

[@metin8549]

Thanks for video it's beneficial and good work !

[@3DSage]

Thank you for saying that! :)

[@FigmentsMade]

Neat video! (came over from Evan & Katelyn - subbed!)

[@3DSage]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you made it here. :)

[@stevelitt]

great project. you deserve way more subs.

[@3DSage]

That is nice to hear, thank you for saying that!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff! 👍👊

[@deltaray3]

Coolest "Thanks for watching" ever

[@3DSage]

Glad you liked it! Thank you :)

[@ricardomilos2674]

Better than greatscott

[@3DSage]

That means a lot since I really enjoy his videos too and since I'm such a smaller channel so thank you for the compliment!

[@mrmeseas1225]

Bro you just saved me thinking hahahah... I have all the things required and am so fn happy about it haha

[@Urban_Tech369]

Not the best maglev but not the worst but I like your implementation❤

[@mrmeseas1225]

Incase anyone wondering. The mosfet is discontinued at jaycar and the replacement is not the same specs

[@FilamentFriday]

1:35 how did you make the MOSFET latch?

[@3DSage]

They make a great latch! You should be able to see the components on the breadboard if you want to recreate it.

[@tjyoyo3]

did you know if you put 4 of those magnetic coils in series inside a 4" ferrite ring you will be able to increase the disc's mass (meaning those cool magnetic levitation pcbs from china) very simple pcb diagram that can be scaled up. Thank you for sharing it.

[@3DSage]

I would like to see this scaled up! That would be cool. :)

[@1.8484]

HoI 3dsage, when the new video on gba, like saying that you work for minecraft, I certainly do not force right now to make a video, just tell me at what level it is, at the level of writing code, or at the level of a game, and by the way that there is a Zelda 3d, what successes, although there will be a demonstration of the first location forest kokiri? Sorry for the mistakes in the text since I'm from the country pasta and pizza

[@3DSage]

Yes I am still working on a 3D Mincraft and Zelda's Kokiri forest for the Gameboy Advance! I'm glad you are interested in those projects! I will post updates when they are ready. :)

[@baschz]

Cool! Sweet and simple solution. Any thoughts on one that floats above a stand?

[@3DSage]

Thank you! That was my exact goal. Floating above would not be as simple to make but would be fun to try. I will keep it in mind for a possible part 2 video.

[@LevinoControle]

Very amazing!!! =D

[@3DSage]

Thank you! :)

[@toothpick5779]

👍🤓 Excellent video!!!

[@nyuuparadise1183]

Nice bro

[@3DSage]

Thank you!

[@_Creativo]

if i wanted to increase the voltage to make the gap wider, what should i change?

[@1.8484]

it's super cool, tell you that the ultra-hyper-higher education in the Harvard? By the way, you can make a big such a magnetic levator of the type to even lift a car, it would be fun to see this and of course I would be surprised if such a big crap lifted the car.

[@3DSage]

Thank you! haha yeah a whole car would be fun to see! If built right, you could make a road of flying cars I guess.

[@1.8484]

hello sage of the third dimension! WHEN A NEW VIDEO!?! I certainly know that if the video comes out, it's a Masterpiece at once, but at least to make us believe that you are doing it. And yes a new video about gba? I hope for the Zelda or maynkraft

[@3DSage]

I'm glad you are excited for my next videos! Thank you for staying interested. I work on several at a time so not even I know which one will be ready next hahaha. So I can't wait to see it either!

[@whatelseison8970]

How do you have a 3D printer but not a drill? I recommend getting one. It would make winding your coil much less laborious. Edit: Actually, if you want a device that can operate continuously, using a pre-made coil from a 5V relay should work better.

[@3DSage]

haha hm I guess I don't have a drill. But I also wanted to keep this simple and winding it by hand isn't too hard and it's more rewarding when it all works. And I feel like winding wire with a drill would take some practice to master. If you want to, you can try it. And I originally thought of using a pre-made coil but I like how mine turned out.

[@mrmeseas1225]

@@3DSage bro you designed this hahaha.... I feel like your messing with us you have to have a drill or a Dremel or something 😄 in saying that you saved me a head ache on the general setup of mine so thankyou ..

[@mrmeseas1225]

I say this as I built a hydrogen jet engine from scrap and I had next to no tools money or parts and nothing but time so I do feel you on accomplishing it regardless ... that engine was entirely seized the next day as used the wrong combinations of metal 🤣

[@marianagonzalez6987]

How much infill should the 3d print parts have??

[@marketmantrawithmahesh.3302]

Copper wire gets hot, is there any solution for this?

[@mrlilor9124]

Bro can you tell me which mosfet and hall sensor you used in this video

[@rohimuddinahmed5341]

This is very easy to make

[@unknown4_4]

Hey 3D Sage can you tell me till how much weight does the magnet levitate. I mean how much weight can we stick to magnet so we can add some thing to it to look good.

[@tonysfun]

I just made this project, but I can't get a small magnet, with or without a hole in the center, to suspend. At first I was thinking that I have the coil wires in wrong order, so I reverse them - it sucked the small magnet to the coil; so I put it back as it was originally. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you again!

[@rohimuddinahmed5341]

I like this

[@badobada4541]

you are the boss!

[@JuliusHahaha]

What happend to your Gameboy advance Zelda game? Btw i love your video’s

[@3DSage]

I'm still working on it too! And a 3D Minecraft for GBA. My brain has to switch between projects sometimes. :/

[@JuliusHahaha]

3DSage hahaha No wories 🤗

[@seanstutsman1935]

Heyy there [FULLNAME]!! Your videos are so inspiring💕💕

[@3DSage]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

[@3DSage]

My actual name is Sage btw.

[@samuelebaiano6505]

Hi, is it possible to make it with an arduino?

[@istuser1]

Is the magnet wire same as enameled copper wire? Or does it have a different composition?

[@3DSage]

Good question. They are both the same. Both are copper wire with a thin enamel coating which is perfect for making a coil like this since we can get lots of turns for a strong electromagnet. Use the same thickness as I did, AWG 30. Any higher or lower may produce incorrect results.

[@istuser1]

3DSage oh I see, thank you for the quick reply...I'm trying to remake your project, I'm not very sure if I'll find the same MOSFET and hall sensor at my place..so I might pop up here to ask you some more questions if you don't mind xD

[@3DSage]

I believe you can search the component name and type similar in google to find components that are pretty much the same. Any similar mosfet should work and the hall sensor needs to be unipolar.

[@bautistacussinicolao1189]

does this work with heavier objects? like about 100 grams?

[@rashmirathi3357]

I made it but the magnet is getting attracted to the hall sensor and repelled from the coil. I also tried switching the ends of the copper wire. Please HELP me fast.

[@3DSage]

Try turning the magnet over? Double check the hall sensor and mosfet are working correctly. components can break. Try watching the video again closely. Its hard to figure it out without looking at it but let me know if you figure out what it was.

[@ravelonjatovoherman3270]

Hi!You have to see the voltage of Hall sensor and features of this components and use the air coil to avoid this phenomen,never put the sensor near the magnetic field of air coil.Try it and you should have a good result.

[@ravelonjatovoherman3270]

if hall sensor is in the high voltage ,it is very sensible.

[@tonysfun]

Do you have any suggestions what can I try to make your idea to work like in your video? Thank you very much!

[@elfridafebiola9728]

What is the step please? For my experience in my school

[@tonysfun]

I wish you well, but I do need help with this "simple levitation" project. Thank you.

[@mrmeseas1225]

What are the specs for the 1k resistor eg 1 watt?

[@eduardsdavis903]

Thanks!!! 😁😁😁😆😆

[@aronaronaronaronaronaronaronar]

Were you inspired by notionSunday?

[@stephanebourgeois2320]

Bonjour, et merci, je serais super intéressé pour le reproduire dans un atelier de petits geeks en médiathèque, serait il possible d'avoir un plan de montage svp ? merci d'avance, Stéphane

[@rohimuddinahmed5341]

Veryvgoooooooooooooood

[@ArtinDE]

plz tell the name of sensor and mosfet you did use...

[@3DSage]

I believe its in the video description or on my instructables link

[@kafila_e_ishq]

Cell voltage Please reply?

[@akashjujar6907]

How many hours we can on it

[@Cronyxx]

Does this actually work

[@passtranelectronics]

genial

[@edinaann6844]

mr sage can i use a 170 tie points mini breadboard

[@edinaann6844]

please tell the circuit for that in diagram

[@loganbedford2105]

does anyone know if you need a specific ohm value on the resistor?

[@unknown4_4]

1 k resistor

[@designerpotandplanter1004]

reverse it even then it will work

[@seanwilliams4692]

Ah yes I forgot to turn on G R A V I T Y
