Magnetic Locking WITHOUT a Superconductor!

In this video I show you how to classically lock a magnet in space without the use of a superconductor. I show you a little know effect called a magnetic bound state that can occur on alternating magnets.

I see a lot of comments mentioning that this is the same way the Hacksmith made his hoverboard levitate. This is not correct. The hoverboard he made, is awesome, but it is just using eddy currents to create repulsion. Eddy currents do not create a locking effect. The effect I'm showing is a different effect that can lock the magnet against gravity (you can't do that with eddy currents)

[@alleycatsphinx]

This closely resembles a cross product - it seems as though both objects exist simultaneously in the same place - it is likely harder to rotate the tool in near exact proportion to what you lift - the fact that it is discretized into such large frequency ranges is astounding. Have you tried with plasmas, or constructed clockwork?

Hamdi Uçar is a dear friend of mine and he is a genius. He quit his job in my company to dedicate all his time for his research and writing his paper. Sad thing is Academia is not giving his findings any attention because he is not in a university with a Ph D degree. By the way, he had Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and he is a legend in software engineering. Hope the exposure in KZbin brings some attention to his amazing discoveries.

Just a thought :) I wish Hamdi all the best for his contribution to science. The "university" had respect for a brief time in history, that time has passed. Those that create, discover and quantify are topics studied at a later date in "university".

The work in the paper thus far is quite impressive and I wonder how long before we have our own flying UFOs.

It is the very basics in action. It is not actually locked in place, since an outside force can dislodge it rather easily. It is in fact attracting and repulsing at a very high rate/frequency. This prevents a full on attraction or repulsion as one would expect. As the rate of the dremel slows the effect would become more easily visible.

Years ago there was a toy top called a levatron or some such. You would spin the top on a plastic sheet over a strong circular magnet. You could then carefully lift the top up with the plastic sheet until a certain point was reached where the repulsive forces balanced gravity. It would float in the air as long as it was kept rotating fast enough. There was a copper (or aluminum) washer placed on the top to create the dampening eddy current field. This washer had nothing to do with weight. If you used a non conductive washer of the same weight the top would not float stably.

"Next question, can you use electro-magnet to simulate the spinning motion instead to achieve levitation?" Maybe. Keep in mind that the ferromagnetic core of this electromagnet should not be attracted by the floating magnet significantly otherwise they will stuck together. Maybe a core with low saturation characteristics would be needed.

[@jonathanhorvat2452]

A strong magnet would be ideal. The repeated attraction and repulsion that this creates is the mechanism responsible for the observed locking.

[@TarugoTaino]

@@jonathanhorvat2452 Does that mean that there should be a relative and equal pull force from both magnets or should the spinning controller magnet(s) have a stronger pull force than that of the one being locked(or vice versa)? And how does one account for the physical weight of the locked magnet?

[@KallePihlajasaari]

The paper by Hamdi Uçar is brilliant. So many good examples to illustrate every mathematical analysis. One of the best science papers I have read in a long time. James' PhD paper is also interesting and I hope the processes are extended further, it may become a practical way of preparing liquid fuels from low value (waste) biomass feedstock. A commercial implementation might be a small magnet with butterfly wings that is levitated above a rotating tilted dipole with a static repulsive field on-axis. Electromagnetic rotating dipole would make less noise and be a cool desk ornament. A few experiments I would like to see tried: 1: Just for fun try this out on the vomit comet or on the ISS. Would it allow for arbitrary towing of the magnet behind the rotator? 2: Have a (spherical) magnet levitating in a small pot of hardening resin that leaves the magnet away from the edges with no layer seams in the resin. Would the small motion prevent the resin curing in proximity to the magnet? 3: Using phased electromagnetic coils and a free running ESC might be able to produce the rotating magnetic dipole. Can a magnet be levitated with no moving parts, except the levitating magnet which has to oscillate? Another comment on repurposing an induction motor had the same idea. 4: We would like to see a collaboration with one of the high speed camera channels so we can better see the motion of the levitator. It should be like a spinning top but would be nice to see. See figure 60. 5: Floating a blob of ferrofluid (perhaps in a capsule), I wonder if it qualifies as it does not have its own magnetic field.

Hamdi Ucar - Chapeau! I think that it was the physicist Michio Kaku that've said that the age of "garage discoveries" and "garage inventors" was over... Who ever it was, I guess that wasn't pretty accurate.

[@sudanamaru]

Maybe the absence of broader coverage of this is related to the same logic (of Kaku).

[@tuxuhds6955]

@@sudanamaru I think that part of the problem is that Kaku has a very broad coverage and he's a part of the academic polity. There's a very clear and aggressive agenda, by job holders in the academic world, to exclude and ignore outsiders that would not bring donations or prestige to that Academy. I'm sorry to say that the higher echelons world's most academic bodies have become sort of a synodic oligarchies. Mr Ucar is a software engineer and a mechanical engineer who've actually left his job in order to pursue pure science, they simply don't care for such trivial things as science so the academy in general won't accept his work.

[@sudanamaru]

@@tuxuhds6955 I think there is still a way. This can be started at the college level where students can make physics projects on this effect while the principle is not in the textbook yet. This is also a great motivation for students to see that there are things yet to be discovered in classical mechanics, they can levitate things in air based on the basic principles of the harmonic motion. On the other hand, I consider the possibility that this effect is already present in nature regarding its similarities with the strong force. This is a exciting but a remote possibily for the time being.

[@tuxuhds6955]

@@sudanamaru I agree. Charles H. Duell was the Commissioner of US patent office in 1899, is attributed with the saying: "Everything that can be invented has been invented." Lord Kelvin is attributed with the saying: "There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement." They're always self-proclaimed prophets of that type and they're all lead towards embarrassing realizations.

That H Ucar man is genius... It made possible a lot of open doors for new research and implementation.

I would love to see this tec used for non invasive surgery. Inject a magnet “tool” and work it about as needed with magnetism. Cool stuff thx

2:39 Your thumbs are bloody! Such dedication. So metal.

[@jacobkeeney7971]

Great work as usual! Rotation is the key to anti-gravity. I have a feeling we will be building engines that have opposing static rotation properties built-in - thin layers rotated in opposing directions - we will then be able to rotate those objects and achieve a great amount of lift.

Thank you so much, my son wanted to do a project on levitation with magnets for his first grade science fair and we are going to try this, but even just watching the video is fun!!

Have you considered what this spinning magnet would look like under one of your magnetic field detecting things?

I recommend that you lengthen your statement, and include as much specificity as you can, and then use Google to translate that sentence, or sequence of questions. What you have typed here, in English, absolutely not makes sense. But we definitely invite you to ask this type of question, please! 😊🤓 🧪👍

[@drew1936]

Action Lab: “so the spinning magnet produces a z-force repelling effect on the south pole but the tilt of the north pole creates an equal opposite repulsion effect that makes a stable equilibrium between the two magnets.” Me: “Spinny magnet make other magnet float.... yayyyyyyyyyy”

this is one of the best channel. a fresh take from the typical "let's blow things up and watch in slo mo" bullshit counter-intuitive physics, done with such ease, and never shy away from the actual math / science with link to the paper. would hope you do more math, but for general audience this is cool enough

[@tushitchatterjee8383]

5:50 It would be really nice if I could get some data on the weight of the magnet and RPM of that motor

[@sudanamaru]

Nothing is critical here. RPM needed for this small cube magnet in air could be higher than 10000 RPM.

@@sudanamaru What do you mean, you say "nothing is critical" and then talk about "needed"... If a thing is needed then it is critical to have

Wonderful content. So just as it wants to flip to attraction it finds itself having to change the inertia force and gets caught up in an endless circle ⭕️!

Something tells me this is how UFO’s fly.

[@Chicken_Little_Syndrome]

"So when a video appeared in 2001 from a small company called Transdimensional Technologies of a triangle shaped, aluminum foil and wire thing called a lifter that actually propelled itself off the table, I immediately had to make one. I’d had enough background by then to be confident that it was flying using ion propulsion. And in fact, given my background I was able to put an enhancement in my first version that others came up with only later. For those who’ve never seen a lifter, it’s extremely simple. Think of it as a very leaky capacitor. One electrode is an aluminum foil skirt, in the shape of a triangle. Spaced apart from that around an inch or so away, usually using 1/6″ balsa wood sticks, is a very thin bare wire (think 30AWG) also shaped as a triangle. High voltage is applied between the foil skirt and the wire. The result is that a downward jet of air is created around and through the middle of the triangle and the lifter flies up off the table. But that is just the barest explanation of how it works. We must go deeper!" - hackaday.com/2016/07/13/expanding-horizons-with-the-ion-propelled-lifter/

[@chrisguerra2848]

I thought the same thing. Because it's ironic that there are always more claims of seeing unexplained flying objects around places in the earth that have a large magnetic field in the ground. I'm no scientist or a hard-core alien believer. I just know there are things that fly in our skies that have yet to be explained to me...

[@fizzyplazmuh9024]

I would say that you are now officially my favorite amateur scientist but you already were. This type of effect will no doubt launch a whole new era of desktop physics and floaty toys. I see few practical applications for it but science is always proving people wrong.

[@anantakabir8390]

Woah this is so cool. My intuition tells me that the intermediate axis theroem has some contribution to this effect
