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)
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?

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.
Amazing! You can move and lock a magnet in space, just with another rotating magnet! This has very practical applications to move objects in closed spaces. For example - Move stuff inside an aquarium - Move stuff inside a space where the object has to float, and is not allowed to touch the walls - Enclose the floating magnet inside a prop, and you can do cool special effects stuff of floating objects - Medical applications to move an object inside the body - On a large scale: Levitating beds, attractions, toys - Decoration, floating lights
@@godman6700 Yes but there's another guy with the same name and he is slightly more famous so when you search the name you'll probably fail like i did.
I had a similar thought for magnetic levitation, where you take a stationary electromagnet and basically feed an alternating current into it, where if you can get the frequency down right, a permanent magnet should float.

Wow 7cm levitation gap! Great video! I stumbled upon this phenomenon back in 2018 while trying to levitate a magnet over copper with a dremel. I was mind-blown when the magnet kept levitating even without copper:)
“Liquid nitrogen temperature” *touches it* (Edit) Apparently the LeidenFrost effect creates a cushion of steam where the liquid nitrogen touches the hand to you don’t actually touch the liquid nitrogen (or anything as cold) unless you keep your hand there for a while. Read the replies if you want!
you can touch liquid nitrogen briefly, the Leiden frost effect prevents it from touching your skin and freezing you right away. plus, if its really hot or really cold you can touch it very briefly and you will be left unscathed since heat cant be transferred that fast. But only briefly.
This is great! A major difference from the superconductor is the spinning of the levitating magnet. If this issue were solved it would have so many more applications.
@@3ATIVE with applied principles of magnetic field architecture. Objects can be suspended in air when they are near magnetic fields in motion. The question is if we can recreate the conditions necessary for the same results electromagnetically.
I love this guy. He is so creative, intelligent, and generous with his knowledge. Your rare combination of personality traits will continue to be deeply cherished long past our time.
I AM BLOWN AWAY! Can't wait to try this out. I had some limited success with levitating neodymium magnets by having thee on a base (figit spinner) and all were angled kind of like a pyramid. It didn't work unless the base was spinning. When spinning I could place on in the middle from above and it would eventually slow dow, flip over and WHAM! sometimes breaking the magnets with the impact force. I couldn't find ANY writings on the subject at the time....about seven years ago.
@@SpeedKing.. people considered anything that went against their way of life a threat. There are many historical records of scientists being shunned for their “discoveries”
This phenomenon could be a break through in our present technology ...... *****This is could be made better using “Electromagnets that change their poles periodically” ***** This will reduce the loss of energy due to friction in the moving part - the motor. Amazing work H.Ucar !!!
My uncle used to own a small buy and sale scrape metal and paper recycling business back in the sixties and as kids we used to play later work in the huge quantities of twisted discarded materials, I'd learned about different metals and became fascinated with magnets and their use for classifying different metals, lifting, sealing, holding and many other uses, we mainly used the magnets from old speakers just for playing back then we'd smash them with a hammer and used them in powder form inside balloons floating in water or glue the powder to popsicle sticks with a needle and try and sank the invading navy or build small structures! Have you tried to use more than one probably encased in a shape like a wheel or a ball? You must understand we didn't have I Pads back then! Thank you! You brought back good memories!
And also I think the nature of levitation induced a passion in this researcher, find something that induces a similar interest within yourself - regardless of it's popularity. That passion and focus is what brings these incredible results, not just the special area of magnets and esoteric physics. For now this phenomena is an undeveloped novelty and nothing more, it may have been scientifically described but until you can fly a vehicle around the earth with it, use it for maglev trains, or develop a control system for industrial contactless manipulation, it's useless other than as a novelty.
How about making the rotation "digital". You have electromagnets in a circle and via a controller turn on the magnets one-by-one in quick succession and maybe reversing the polarity if needed.
"Tomasz Mazurek: I'm thinking it should also be possible to use a stationary circular array of electromagnets to create a spinning magnetic field without moving parts - but would it be more or less efficient?" Less efficient. However in order to trap sub miligram particles one needs to have rotating fields above 200,000 RPM where coil solutions should be considered. A single coil solution is also mentioned in the article.
I wonder if this could work in reverse. Also, I wonder if this has applications in plasma physics to assist in fusion reactors. Tokomak Reactors essentially use magnetic fields built in a circle to flow hot plasma without touching the walls and melting out. If this can concentrate the plasma into a ball, it could really assist in simplifying fusion reactor design.
The US Navy have a patent for a fusion generator that I believe uses something like this to stabilise the reaction, which is the major issue with current attempts at fusion energy where they have to use supercooled conductors. I thought it might be too good to be true but having seen this video maybe they’ve got something revolutionary (no pun intended).
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”
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.
@@lukenicholas7697 it takes some form of intelligence to understand a joke... oh, it doesn’t create energy?? Well, thank you Captain Obvious for saving the day!
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 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.
@@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.
@@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.

Do you need to physically spin the magnet? Would be cool to get it to work with a rotating magnetic field like from an ac motor winding or stepper motor winding.
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! 😊🤓 🧪👍
use a multimagnet array - a set of magnets embedded in for example a sturdy wooden board - with alternating North - South polarity; place the board on the table, and put a magnet over it, the magnet over the board will levitate - it is simultaneously attracted and repelled.
"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/
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...
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.
Using this technique on 4 corners of a stiff metal plate table for optics would create a very effective stabilization or vibration isolating surface // potentially
I just love that he is fully aware of the outcome of his experiments, but nonetheless just super excited when they work. And he wants us to get as excited about it!
I mean many of his videos he has a hypothesis and then films how in practice it is disproved. He is not always aware of the outcome ahead of time! This experiment I think must've been quite special too, because we're trying out a counterintuitive thing that only one scientist has written about. If it has the signs of a hoax but turns out to be true, it's a huuge reason to be genuinely excited.
I think a company made a electro magnetic suspension but it fails cause the system was too heavy and costs way more than air suspension or normal suspension.
Imagine if a guy just built a 100,000 square meter superconductor and made it froze in Antarctica, Because of how big the Superconductor is, you can make anything levitate due to the temperature no matter how big as long as the pole of equal sides don't collide, it will levitate, or just put a magnet in your shoes and make it the opposite pole of the superconductor, will it make you levitate? Or make you stay in place? Well my idea can't happen cause it's practically impossible with todays technology, just asking for the impossible you know?
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

That's an interesting data. As a native Spanish speaker I imagine that, for someone like me, the "ç" in your language should pronounce as the "y" (the "j" of "John" in English) of my language, isn't it?
@@FedeG86 Interesting ,i suggest listening the words on google translate for a better oppinion it is pretty accurate.
Oh wait i get what you mean now. Yes you are right but what i meant was that his surname could be "Uçar" or "Ucar" so I explained both. And I just told about your comment and he mentioned the same thing which is in some languages latter "j" having different sounds and I can assure you in Turkish plain "c" latter sounds like "j" as in "james" in English.

Read the replies if you want!
you can touch liquid nitrogen briefly, the Leiden frost effect prevents it from touching your skin and freezing you right away. plus, if its really hot or really cold you can touch it very briefly and you will be left unscathed since heat cant be transferred that fast. But only briefly.

This is great! A major difference from the superconductor is the spinning of the levitating magnet. If this issue were solved it would have so many more applications.

I AM BLOWN AWAY! Can't wait to try this out. I had some limited success with levitating neodymium magnets by having thee on a base (figit spinner) and all were angled kind of like a pyramid. It didn't work unless the base was spinning. When spinning I could place on in the middle from above and it would eventually slow dow, flip over and WHAM! sometimes breaking the magnets with the impact force. I couldn't find ANY writings on the subject at the time....about seven years ago.

Amazing work H.Ucar !!!
it's immediately what thought
The only 2 magic thing in this world that I can think of: Magnet and Quantum.
My uncle used to own a small buy and sale scrape metal and paper recycling business back in the sixties and as kids we used to play later work in the huge quantities of twisted discarded materials, I'd learned about different metals and became fascinated with magnets and their use for classifying different metals, lifting, sealing, holding and many other uses, we mainly used the magnets from old speakers just for playing back then we'd smash them with a hammer and used them in powder form inside balloons floating in water or glue the powder to popsicle sticks with a needle and try and sank the invading navy or build small structures! Have you tried to use more than one probably encased in a shape like a wheel or a ball? You must understand we didn't have I Pads back then! Thank you! You brought back good memories!
Dear Jose, please check other magnet levitation videos at ruclips.net/user/sudanamaruvideos

2:39 Your thumbs are bloody! Such dedication. So metal.
Wish i could find a neich area in research like that guy where not many people are doing it.
For that, you need to know what is popular in research, so then you can find what is niche.
If you could invent an EMF engine the world will beat a the path to your door...
And also I think the nature of levitation induced a passion in this researcher, find something that induces a similar interest within yourself - regardless of it's popularity. That passion and focus is what brings these incredible results, not just the special area of magnets and esoteric physics. For now this phenomena is an undeveloped novelty and nothing more, it may have been scientifically described but until you can fly a vehicle around the earth with it, use it for maglev trains, or develop a control system for industrial contactless manipulation, it's useless other than as a novelty.
This channel is criminally underrated.
This man will show us Bluetooth hose oneday

Currently we’re working on the 5G sprinkler
The most amazing thing in this video is how he has the happiness of a child when the magnet started to lock in place.
How about making the rotation "digital". You have electromagnets in a circle and via a controller turn on the magnets one-by-one in quick succession and maybe reversing the polarity if needed.
Doing it with electromagnets. Why not just switch polarity of a single stationary electromagnet quickly to achieve the same?
You Literally Inspired an idea for a Much More Simplistic Fusion Reactor!!!
6:13 That's some alien stuff, right there!
"Tomasz Mazurek: I'm thinking it should also be possible to use a stationary circular array of electromagnets to create a spinning magnetic field without moving parts - but would it be more or less efficient?"
Less efficient. However in order to trap sub miligram particles one needs to have rotating fields above 200,000 RPM where coil solutions should be considered. A single coil solution is also mentioned in the article.
This dude is going to do this with gravity someday.
This blows my mind, the future applications this will serve are probably going to be insane one day
I wonder if this could work in reverse. Also, I wonder if this has applications in plasma physics to assist in fusion reactors. Tokomak Reactors essentially use magnetic fields built in a circle to flow hot plasma without touching the walls and melting out. If this can concentrate the plasma into a ball, it could really assist in simplifying fusion reactor design.
The US Navy have a patent for a fusion generator that I believe uses something like this to stabilise the reaction, which is the major issue with current attempts at fusion energy where they have to use supercooled conductors.
I thought it might be too good to be true but having seen this video maybe they’ve got something revolutionary (no pun intended).
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”
Levitron toy. Its fun. You can buy it. Search for it. Its a magnet spinning top on a magnet ring
Nuice
that is quite adequate
Fun fact, Hamdi Uçar is a Turkish name, his surname Uçar meaning "Flies". His name is basically Hamdi Flies.
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.

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.
Maybe the absence of broader coverage of this is related to the same logic (of Kaku).
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
Guys take notes that Michael Kennedy wrote this down, in the future put magnets underground so we can have levitating cars and hoverboards, thank you.
Reverse this to unlock the secrets of interstellar travel.
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
Would like to see this done with electromagnets to increase distance and strength of locking to expand it's potential applications.

I said "No-frigin-way!" out loud just before your "No-way" moment at 5:10.

and that's how UFO's work!!
use a multimagnet array - a set of magnets embedded in for example a sturdy wooden board - with alternating North - South polarity; place the board on the table, and put a magnet over it, the magnet over the board will levitate - it is simultaneously attracted and repelled.
Waiting on this in a vacuum chamber now...
I’ve learned so much from the channel over the years. Truly amazing content. And idk how he learns all this
Something tells me this is how UFO’s fly.
"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!" -

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...
Stunning and thanks. I used to fascinate about levitating magnets as a kid.
Hacksmith's Hoverboard part 2🔥
Amazing is an understatement
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.
Using this technique on 4 corners of a stiff metal plate table for optics would create a very effective stabilization or vibration isolating surface // potentially
I just love that he is fully aware of the outcome of his experiments, but nonetheless just super excited when they work. And he wants us to get as excited about it!
Meanwhile you may wish to view other videos belong this effect by following this avatar.
I mean many of his videos he has a hypothesis and then films how in practice it is disproved. He is not always aware of the outcome ahead of time!
This experiment I think must've been quite special too, because we're trying out a counterintuitive thing that only one scientist has written about. If it has the signs of a hoax but turns out to be true, it's a huuge reason to be genuinely excited.
Hmm, I wonder how good magnetic suspension on a car would be.
I think a company made a electro magnetic suspension but it fails cause the system was too heavy and costs way more than air suspension or normal suspension.
Scientist: I want room temperature superconductors
Mom: we have room temperature superconductors at home
Room temperature superconductors at home:
these are not superconductors tho. Just regular magnets and a bit of spinning magic
5:50 It would be really nice if I could get some data on the weight of the magnet and RPM of that motor
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
It is wonderful to see every once in a while a Turkish researcher's project in novel fields.
Imagine if a guy just built a 100,000 square meter superconductor and made it froze in Antarctica, Because of how big the Superconductor is, you can make anything levitate due to the temperature no matter how big as long as the pole of equal sides don't collide, it will levitate, or just put a magnet in your shoes and make it the opposite pole of the superconductor, will it make you levitate? Or make you stay in place? Well my idea can't happen cause it's practically impossible with todays technology, just asking for the impossible you know?
this is one of the best channel. a fresh take from the typical "let's blow things up and watch in slo mo" bullshit
