Hey everyone! In this video I show you all how to make your very own amazing Levitron hovering spinning top at home. This experiment is very hard to get right, and takes a lot of patience, but the end results are very pleasing, and you can even impress your friends! I advise you to buy your big base ring magnet, not online, but get it from a large broken speaker (Which is where I got mine from) or a microwave, etc...
I hope you enjoyed watching this video, and be sure to give this experiment a try :)

@reinbaens9600 Год назад

Great video! I am trying this for a project. I have one question. Why should the diameter of the magnet in the spinning top be smaller than that of the base?

@MaxImagination Год назад

Hi, Rein. Thanks for your comment! The hole in the top magnet must be small to suit the diameter of the 4mm wooden rod. A better way to rephrase what you meant is the Inner diameter of the base magnet must be a bit larger than the Outer diameter of the top magnet as this is the physical aspect that keeps the spinning top hovering in place, creating the magnetic "donut effect". Same as a golf ball rolls into a hole larger than its diameter with ease rather than rolling over the hole. Cheers.

@ThunderboltWisdom 2 года назад

If you need a magnet go for a speaker cos it's easier than taking apart a microwave. If you do take a magnet from a MW be careful not to break the ceramic bits on the end of the magnetron (the bit that makes the actual microwaves) because they are toxic and horrible and can cause sickness. Watch a microwave teardown vid to learn how. If you go for a speaker magnet be careful not to break the magnet while taking it out. It's easily done. And remember, magnets are FUN.

@MaxImagination 2 года назад

Hi, yep, speakers are usually the preferred option when it comes to seeking for a large ferrite magnet. I have a microwave magnetron which contains a magnet, though now I may not consider opening one up just to get a magnet. Safety first!

Make the top piece perfectly balanced made on a lathe. Then spin it in a vacuum chamber, suck all the air out and theoretically it should spin almost forever minus the incomplete vacuum wich is impossible to make a perfect vacuum. Maybe some other forces too will slow it down that I don't know of.

@MaxImagination 3 месяца назад

Good tip! The main piece with the rounded bottom could be made out of brass or another non-magnetic metal and is the piece where all the magnet and washers slide onto.

@MaeAnn29 Год назад

Hi there! Really wanted to try and make this. Can you please share where to get the spacers as shown in video? Looks like there were 2 different kinds you used for spacers. And the red bearing covers. Are those the same as the washers? The measurements of each material you used? Thank you so much!

@MaxImagination Год назад

Hi there. The washers you may need will most likely vary, it depends on how strong of a magnetic repulsion you're getting. Choose something rather light, such as aluminum or tin washers. Also, the biggest and bottom washer is a tambourine disc. Cheers!

@fullsoundrecording 8 месяцев назад

why did you have the bolt leveling platform in the first half but then later not used at all, and then what is up with the latge ring mag just sitting on the tiles?

This also means that we have energy associated with these magnets as it spins and levitates.

@MaxImagination Год назад

The levitation phenomenon leans more to being magnetic suspension rather than levitation, as I've learned from a viewer. The magnetic levitating spinning top is given kinetic energy from my hand to spinning on a fixed floating space (the opposing magnetic force from the base magnet. The energy of this levitron concept is no different than spinning a top on a solid, flat surface. This phenomenon does not produce free energy.

Hi there, thanks for watching! As this is not directly related to free energy, the top would definitely spin longer in a vacuum, but not forever due to opposing eddy flux current from the magnetic field.

This could work on a smaller scale, but you'd need to get your angles 100% right, a difficult task. I'd advise it's better to simply take one base ring magnet and use that.
