| DavesWimshurst:
Some kinds of graphite do strange things in a magnetic field: This property is called diamagnetism. The field of the array of magnets causes the graphite to set up an opposing field which floats the graphite sliver. :scratch: The pyrolytic graphite comes as a thick slab that must be split up using a razor blade into pieces about 1/2 mm thick. The magnet array has two north poles on opposite corners up and the other two south pole up. These are neodymium iron boron 1/2 inch cubes, large enough to pinch fingers! :bugeye: Dave |

Dave, That is pretty damn cool. The levitation stuff is neat. Eric |

I've never seen levitation as simply executed as that before.....thanks for showing... :thumbup: |

:lol: :lol: :lol: Good grief no......I'd kill it......she's not that well after the accident, me thinks the vet didn't have "her" best interest at heart.... Made me laugh though, that was a good one.... :clap: |
