Default Can you explain how this device works - anti-gravity spinning wheel

I believe it's to do with opposing magnetic forces keeping the device
in the air. What I find amazing is the relative lack of spinning
velocity needed to defy the force of gravity. Truly remakable. Never
knew it was possible.

Could anyone explain how it stays in the air. And is this technology
possible for commercial use such as in airplanes, flying cars of the
future etc?

Cheers.

Alot of thinking goes on out there and intuition helps. So amazing
things happen.

The world of cool!

Here is how to do this:


Make a coil below in the black box. Just lay a torid on its side
about five inchs in diameter.

He does not tell you the secret in the spinner. It is a magnetic
field generator. You can invert a spinning field so that field spun
causes a force! Alternators use this principle.

A five or six spoked wheel of ferrous metal appears the gyroscope.
And the thing is not to be heavier than the rate of spin If you spin
fast, it can be heavier and float.

It is field limited and only good as a maglev design. NO free enrgy.

TheThe ferrous spokes are, IS IS magnetized. And they are just to be
infered indirection by real physicists.

Er.. right. I sort of follow that. I'm not that up with physics
terminology and stuff of that nature, but am I right in saying the
base is magnetic forcing the spinner down and there is a poweful
magnet inside the spinner and as the spinner rotates, the magnetic
force is opposing the base's magnetic force, therefore keeping the
spinner in the air? The two opposing forces sort of cancel each other
out and the spinner stays in the air until it stops rotating.

Defying the force of gravity is easy: just put an object on a table.
It doesn't require any expenditure of energy. The question to ask is
"why can't you just put one magnet above another and have it float in
the air?". The answer is that as soon as it tips over even slightly,
the forces will be unbalanced, and it will fall down. The equilibrium
is unstable. You might then think "maybe if instead of just two
magnets, we have a whole bunch of them suitably arranged to hold one
up". But it turns out that there's no static configuration of magnets
that results in stable equilibrium.

The spinning makes it work in the same way that a top can balance on
its point.

Just found Levitron website - they make or market the spinners.
Interesting thing they write:


"The
LEVITRON floats free in space, supported only by the
repelling magnetic force produced by permanent magnets
(no batteries required!). A scientific theorem, that was advanced
over a century ago, states that this is impossible - yet this amazing
top
levitates right before your eyes!"

So people used to think it was impossible.

I was taught at schooll nothing that small could defy gravity, not
something with such little velocity. Of course we all accept a plane
can get enough velocity to take off but I never knew such a small
device could withstand the force of gravity. Amazing when you think
about it. The future is now and it's magnetic spinning things.

test. Google stinks;

Levitron is a double magnetic type. A double field effect, not a
field caused by spin. A car alternator used th elater design.

That's just misrepresentation: the theorem refers to static magnets.

"Defying gravity" has nothing to do with the speed of the object.
The motion is only to make the equilibirium stable - like a spinning
top, or a rolling bicycle - not to produce lift.

The future is now


In the case of the Levitron it was about 10 years ago.

How about if you put two small but powerful magnets in a tube arranged
NS to SN so they repel? would it float? Well, I guess it's the
constraint of the tube. Maybe this is not a fair type of levitation.

Yes, there are many ways to do it if you add some mechanical constraint,
just as you can balance a pencil on its point.
