- Mike and the team travelled to the Isle of Man to seek out one of the strangest roads in the world! Known as 'Magnetic Hill', this trip of Tarmac has baffled tourists and locals for decades. Is there some genuine physics-bending trickery going on?!

Finnaly a hill I can cycle up without feeling tired 😂
Or, just get a car
Hahaha
The road identities itself as an Australian road, hence upside down behavior
...
So why are there no kangaroo prints in the asphalt? EXPLAIN THAT ONE ATHEISTS
@@meowgoesthedog_ no kangaroos but there are wallabies
As an Australian, how dare you 😂
Had this "issue" in the austrian mountains. It appeared we where driving downhill, but the fully packed toyota ago only went slower and slower. To the point i set the car next to the highway thibking it was broken. It was the moment we exited the car we relealised it was actually an uphill climb 😅 indeed the mountains around is made us unable to see the horizon.
This was silly and I loved every minute of it! Gotta stop and have fun, and also look for aliens, perhaps, once in a while.
he should have used a spirit level, or GPS, it shows you that what he says is not true, the car move backwards and the altitude increases too, so this was a silly explanation!
video starts at 2:08
Heh, there is a Magnetic Hill here in Canada too, in New Brunswick. This was a very entertaining and interesting video. GRIN!
One near Brampton as well. Russell Peters told a story on Rogan about taking Dave Chappelle there
@@benische Do you know the name of the toad? I drive through the Brampton area quite often.
Also, I've been to the one in New Brunswick.
@@ronknox3376 If you search Magnetic Road in Brampton it will show you. Looks like it's just outside the city to the north.
Please can we get more bunker kitchen content.. I'm obsessed
Electric Brae in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Been on it loads of times. Baffles the mind!
3:04 I like how Mike adjusts the camera, forgetting the two people stood behind the camera can be seen in the reflection on the car
Because it’s not uphill…
It is wacky to look at lol
There are loads around the world that are the same and they are uphill. They prove it do some research.
Cheers Geoff. No need to watch the video I guess
It looks like uphill, but it's just an illusion
One of these in Canada too, magnet hill out in New Brunswick
The golf ball trick was cool!
The trick of editing, you mean?
@@willadams9001 yep!
1:59 *insert Home Simpson gif 😂
there's a road in my country that does this same exact thing and it also has tons of weird supernatural stuff going on other than cars rolling back up the hill. it has ghosts and other phenomena too.
There are "magnetic hills" all over the place. It usually just needs the right bit of topography and an obscured horizon. Take a level with you and the illusion is obviously dispelled.
The biggest non-artificial clue is the trees pointing straight up. The simplest artificial check is to tie something to a string and hold it steady, showing what's up and down.
Ideally something not magnetic too m, like a piece of dense wood or blob of glass. A long standing misconception is it was because magnetism hence the name. (Most pendulums are steel or lead)
There’s a similar bit on the M3, between london and Basingstoke that has a similar effect. I remember driving on it, looking at my MPG and being baffled that it was going down, despite thinking I was going down hill.
There's one in the Dominican Republic in Barahona Province (southwest of the country) heading into the town of Polo
There's a 'Magnetic Hill' also in Victoria, Australia. Quite fascinating.
In Ladakh, India as well. :)
Near Tamworth too.
Heading toward Armidale.
I didn't realise it was April fools Day today. Jackanory!! 🤣🤣🤣
There's one in Scotland called the electric brae, not far from Culzean Castle too.
man, y'all kept drive tribe, do this on drive tribe and do more food stuff.
There’s a place called hangman’s hill in Epping forest with same thing. Story around it I believe is there was a tree at the top of the hill where people used to be hung it’s said that the hangman pulls you up the hill with the noose
Cool one, i love interesting stuff
We've got a bunch of these in the US. Usually with a tacky gift shop next to it.
There's a spot at Moonbi lookout near Tamworth NSW, Australia.
It's on a small stretch of road , around 100 metres, slightly uphill. Starts off moving slowly but you speed up.
I'd only ever seen videos of this and wasn't sure if it was real. To learn there was a spot 20 minutes from the town I live...!
Mind blown!!
For all those skeptics out there, google it. There could be a spot near you. You won't know unless you google it. There is nothing obvious in the surroundings. I drove past the spot thousands of times before I learned about it.
1:58 I see what you did there
Isle of Man weather checks out.
Is there not a hill in Ayrshire that the same phenomenon happens to?
Electric Brae. Been up/downhill and down/uphill on it. Mad as a box of frogs.
Was there the other week with my misses 😅
There are a lot of such mountains all round the world
@@1_5RCBiker thought so and I had an inkling that’s what it was called tae!
I liked the Homer backing into the bushes part
There are several places like that here in NZ so I knew immediately what it was. I'm also a road surveyor that drives and tests a variety of roads in the country so I already knew about it anyway from my job lol. FYI these are called Gravity hills.
As a kid I was told of such a road in Indonesia I think. But there is was anomolous gravity, or so the story was.
This is basically a Tom Scott video, if Tom Scott was from Scotland, younger, and bald.
There is one here in Kenya too, in Machakos and just as strange as Mike has portrayed in this video
see it everyweekend going to upcountry
Thank you for the fun fact!!
I drive through something similar everyday. Looks like I am going downhill but I see fuel consumption meter goes up...
There’s going to be so many people that are today years old finding out the iPhone has an electronic spirit level function as part of the phones software when you buy it. Super handy too.
WE NEED MORE OF " THE THREE " LOOKING AND TALKING ABOUT THE CARS THEY DROVE FOR SPECIALS !!!!!
What a fantastic little video, cool stuff
Theres a road here in American in the state of New Jersey, its called gravity hill road but the car doesn't actually move its just and optical allusion that its moving uphill
There’s one of these near where I live. You can even get out and it looks like it’s going uphill. Pretty cool.
I love that content with mike
There's a Magnetic Hill near Orroroo in South Australia too.
There's a similar road near Hanging Rock in Victoria Australia. Does your head in.
I was thinking of the same place, love taking visitors there.
I swear everyone has a road like this local to them. There's a famous road near my town called "roller-coaster hill". Same effect.
theres hangman hill near me. same thing
I remember reading about a similar short story from the "physics for entertainment".
There is a similar optical illusion on Llangynidr mountain near Crickhowell Powys. And this road has been visited many times by car test magazines.
here in my country there is a hill with the same topology, when you are there it feels weird,
a massive optical illusion
It literally looks like its rolling down hill, legit no illusion
There is a hill like that here in Perth, Western Australia
Tamworth, NSW
I live near the electric brae just outside Ayr in Scotland it's fun in the car or if you get out and pour a bottle of water out it pours uphill.👍
same
I've seen the same thing as a kid in Electric Bray in Scotland! I was so baffled. 😅
Or if you go there in person I'm pretty sure you can feel the gravity of which side is up and down like a normal hill.
We have a similiar road in Cairo(Egypt) beside the citadel.
Nacho Varga is the best of this type of car videos
One of these in the Peak District too!
Is it as strange in real life as it is on video? What a cool little video
Extremely
Its really cool. Im nearly 50. I get such a kick everytime I go to the one near where I live. Especially when I have someone in the car that doesn't about it!!
Scribes Sando suggestion - bread, banana, raw sugar and butter
Theres a magnetic hill in Fermanagh, NI. It's definitely an interesting sensation
We got one too. In Republic of Ireland .
Tom Scott just threw this video idea in the bin
heres me thinking you were on the electric brae in ayrshire where its more prominant
We have one in Rowan County NC. thats really awesome to see this somewhere else
this is like if tom scott was a car channel
It’s a bizarre natural wonder
where everything's gone haywire and nothing works like it should. A bit like Father Dougal, except it’s a road.
Did someone notice that the car is a M5 Touring with a manual gearbox (!) which is suuuuper exotic?
We have one of those in Pennsylvania it's called Gravity Hill it's right by where I live.
When I went to school I had to constantly cycle uphill both ways.
Interesting video & thanks 🤗👍
I remember seeing this on Nationwide in the 1970s (although their explanation was much less clear than this).
So it took you 3 minutes to explain what everyone was already expecting.
Bro that hill took that phrase down is up and up is down personally
In Bom Jesus de Braga - Portugal we have a road just like this one
There is a road in epping forest that does this as well - hangman hill.
You also have the Magic Road in Waterford, Ireland
That’s really cool
There's a road like this near Tring, Hertfordshire known as Magic hill
What next? Add a tasteless theme park all around it, thus ruining it. Like they did to the former 'Magnetic Hill' in New Brunswick Canada.
Not likely in the Isle of man 😄
Making a video about a opticla illusion that is only really visible by just being there.... what a video
I’ve lived on the island for 20 years and had no idea about this hill (the fairy bridge is definitely something all of us abide by though haha)
Plz mention the Memorial at 1:14 , one of the many memorials for the motor cycle heroes of the Isle of Mann who lost their life there ...
We have the same thing just Northwest of Moncton, New Brunswick.
there is one such phenomenon in Kenya as well!
Fun simple video I like it
There's a road like that near Hanging Rock in Victoria Australia, same effect
they have one of these in Victoria Australia. its a weird feeling O.O
Also one in Sydney at Richmond.
Gravity is not consistent everywhere on earth but you’d need to be close to like a mountain to move a very minuscule mass
Awesome, there's one near Volcán Barú, Chiriquí Province of Panama
there is one hill in my country Kenya...kinda interesting to always go there
You could have went to the Electric Brae just outside Ayr SouthWest Scotland.
Similar
The music you use on these videos is amazing, I would love it if you would list them in the description.... I saw you putted a "Music ID" but I dont know what to do with it :c
The coolest thing about this video is the M5 E61, man too bad the US didn't import any...
I just experienced it in Salalah, Oman. 😊
We have a a magnetic hill here in Northern Ireland
I'm another one who thought you had taken a trip to New Brunswick, Canada. All called magnetic Hill.
Great for backwards compatible fuel efficiency
We have one here in Indiana, too.
What next
James, hopefully
There's a road like that in Tbilisi, Georgia
