Wow
Hi I'm an organist and pianist and guitarist I love your vids
I think now its time for a harp.
Play Levitating by Dua Lipa on the Levitating guitar
why don't you understand what intonation is?

Only you can have a musical instruments channel sponsored by an injury-focused law firm.
Guitars are dangerous , Jimi Hendrix guitars catch fire and the Whos fly to amps 😀
@pete_lind Stop saying the words "guitars" and "fire" so close to one another... You will end up giving him more dangerous ideas. But in case of any liability, at least you have M&M at your disposal!
@TLguitar If he's watched Fury Road before I'm surprised if it hasn't crossed his mind yet
@GottaMoveThatGear Mad Matt: Fiery Chord
@pete_lindstart saying more words like "guitar" and "fire" close to each other. You'll give him more dangerous ideas
Getting your magnets stuck to an anvil and having to buy new ones is something that would happen in a cartoon lol
Sitcom type shit like tim allen on home improvement
Wile E coyote has entered the chat
@cheeseparis1super genius
I can only imagine that Mattias invoked extreme methods -- like a hammer -- to try to slide the magnet off the edge, then pry. Only to wind up with a magnet in pieces.
@cheeseparis1 Considering the cartoonish nature of the scene, it's good to know it didn't end with the anvil hitting him on the head.
He put safety glasses on to play this guitar lol
Honestly good call tho
You getting sponsored by a personal injury lawyer is about the funniest thing I've ever seen.
But who do you sue for you own foolishness?
@HannahLemurson All of us for egging him on 😅
I swear I just kept waiting for a punch line during the whole segment…
@matthewdebeer8453The segment IS the punchline, the setup is when Mattias built a piano that throws burning electrical sparks at the player and then built a piano that shoots people and then started getting involved with extremely strong magnets
you can sue yourself if you injure yourself.
250kg pull force: "Let's put it on a rusty anvil"
Only thing missing was the word “ACME.”
right so its going to take at least 250kg of force to remove it, right?
@jchan5000and a good spot to get underneath and grab it.
Plus that anvil did not look like it weighed 250 kg. So it needs force too.
Or some way to secure it.
@robbob5302maxEdGowwwRUenZ2😮
@jchan5000just a floppAI
Him putting that shit on the anvil I immediatly knew it wasn't coming off again lol
Next video is gonna be 15 min of tryna get the magnet off lmao
When I get a strong magnet to something and I can't get it off I use another magnet, stick it to the first ine and then I can get it off by twisting.
But here we have huge magnets. So even putting a second one on without it exploding is an issue.
So maybe doing the twisting just with a strong clamp and rod could work.
First thing I would try is WD-40, if the surface isn't rough. But other than that, You need to turn the anvil on one side, put another anvil on other side. Now they stick together. Then you use a jack to peel them apart. Magnet will go short ends sticking to anvil. then you can start separating it. You can also use an electromagnet, hovering around 2mm above, fixed securely. Then you gradually add power and the magnet will stick to the electromagnet. Then you put a separator material in between and start jacking the electormagnet beam up and putting more separator material in between
With a big enough non-magnetic lever, you're bound to be able to do something.
he just has too heat it take it off. As long as it is not heated above its Curie point, the magnet should be fine afterwards too
Me: "Advertisement for an injury-focused law firm. A bit out of place I think..."
after watching the video: "I understand now."

"They packaged this like I ordered a grenade."
Buddy, a grenade can only blow up in your face once. This is more dangerous.
why is this magnet more dangerous than. grenade
@LikeIverson3I said it mostly in jest, but honestly, a grenade only explodes one time. The magnet is able to damage you without taking much damage itself, so it can cause damage multiple times. Also, grenades usually come with built in safety features. We don't have a good way to build any safety on the super strong magnets. If someone sees a grenade, they usually know that it is potentially dangerous. The magnet just looks like a big piece of metal when it doesn't have something stuck to the side.
@simonnading i see, thanks for sharing knowledge
@LikeIverson3 Magnets can disrupt electronics, even heart pacemakers. and in the video you saw how the stronger magnets wanted to attach to metal and other magnets. strong enough to break wood and lift a stool. if that gets speed and it goes flying towards your head its lights out.
@LikeIverson3 If you hold this magnet like a normal item, it will remove your fingers one-at-a-time.
Step one: Assemble your guitar.
Step two: Tune your guitar.
Step three: *Hold the live grenade in your hands.*
Fr
Then poke it
This guitar has "the missiles knows where it is by calculating where it isn't and measuring where it is from where it isn't" vibes
I wonder which is stronger. The pulling forces of this magnet. Or the pushing force of a Strut assembly. 🤔🤔
This comment 😂😂😂
I have a magnetic implant in my hand, so this particular video terrifies me.
People with pacemakers may not play it for very long!
@rikardnorlen752 He will have to ask the street musicians if they have one first. 🤣

😂
@Nguyen763_Zack Maybe he meant his own IQ 🤭
Now breaking a string isn’t just terrifying, but it can also maim you
Also a lot more likely to happen.
If one breaks, it can cascade to all others....
Ehh, ya only die once ya know.

Six string guitar with four strings
The fact that his thumbnail is edited and shows 6 strings is lame af
@stuiedamanthat must have happened after I posted
He’s still trying to get the guitar off his fridge.
its like having another handle to open the frigde.
only when he makes the design a bit more save (which it can be), then he has to get the frigde off that guitar
More like he's trying to get the fridge off of the guitar.
Can it get into the Guiness Book as the largest Fridge Magnet ever made?
Most absurd sentence without context
or his fridge off the guitar
“And if I play and I grab the magnet-“
*The magnet disliked that.*
he just had to ask for consent .. thats all :>
The energy has to go somewhere, it took the path of least resistance.

Finger death valley...
1 - Always consider this guitar loaded
2 - Never play with a hand you don't want to destroy
Nah it's not that bad.... I hope
@anubhavsingh8197please, never play with guitars
Always be aware of what’s behind your guitar and keep your finger away from the strings until you are ready to play.
@Everything-Is-A-Lie-777 Never thought a musical instrument would require backstop management.
Yo there is a .000001% chance that takes out someone's weener.
This is the only video I've encountered that is so terrifying that I'm having trouble finishing watching it.
We are finally creating the instruments you'd see in a sci-fi movie
he should make a mad max doof warrior design for that guitar
Right, i think he's really got something here especially with the effect of that wammy bar?.
Sci fi instruments are consistently the funniest part of sci fi
no we're not no. Those are imaginary.
Bro reinvented the whammy bar in the most complicated way possible.
"The reason this guitar doesn't have six strings is because I only put four" 🤣
More strings would better carry the load of the magnetic force. I think that should be the next iteration.
@ResidentNetizen More strings would need significantly more force as well though. Guitar strings are sitting at near enough to breaking tension in order to sound right. So it would in the end make it more dangerous, even if it did balance the load a bit.
@ResidentNetizen Or maybe bass strings would be better since they are way stronger relative to their tension
The tension may have held better with 6. Possibly.
@Milligan857I agree
As a video, very cool. As someone with a great deal of respect for suspended tension, absolutely horrifying.
Yeah I don't feel like anything that's being achieved here can't be done with a really well balanced whammy bar. These are all sounds that the whammy inclined are familiar with, and they're way safer and stay in tune better. 😂 It was a cool experiment thought and it looks cool
@nathanjasper512 this guy filled a piano with water for the lulz, none of his videos are meant to be practical
Ehh, just wear gloves & safety goggles when playing this guitar, that's all
As the notes are correct the strings should be under the same tension as they are normally. Under tension ropes and chains are normally terrifying but this should be fine on that count.
The pinch risk is high, but if the back of magnet was triangular that could be minimised.
@tribblier In my head the pinch risk to the hand is minimal when playing already especially after adding the whammy to it. If the strings fail the magnet would travel backward away from the hand. I'd be more worried about shrapnel if the magnet exploded on impact though that could be solved by designing the holder for it to contain that.
Also I feel like aluminum whammy and body would mitigate chances for the magnet to veer off unexpectedly.
"The reason this guitar doesn't have six strings is because I only put four."
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
"The packaging looks like I just bought a grenade".... The entire contraption is basically a kinetic grenade.
Continuous Kinetic Implosion Grenade (CKIG)
Implosion grenade
Here's a safety fix: make it an electromagnetic guitar.
A killswitch would be a real QoL improvement. Better yet run the electricity down the guitar strings so if one breaks it automatically cuts power to the magnet (I'm joking).
*Electroboom wants to know your location.*
@perfecthumaninterfaceThat could be done with a separate circuit that monitors the resistance reading or a low voltage signal sent through the strings to send a signal to the kill switch mechanism to initiate when it detects a string break
@lemau8458 slap an opto-isolator on it to make it extra safe!
@lemau8458I was thinking more about the magnet in the frame being the safeguard, but a "string based circuit" sounds genius.
That is some serious faith in 3D-printed loops for strings
Thats exactly what I thought
I read this comment before that part of the video, but then I saw the video... Omg... With how badly his experience with the anvil went, I thought he MIGHT be learning some respect for magnets, guess not. He could at least make something that feels even slightly robust. He must have gotten lucky with the right grain orientation, or something.
It get's better at 7:36, but not for a totally unrelated reason.
Electric guitar strings are magnetic (otherwise they wouldn't work). So I'm assuming that the 3D printed hoops aren't bearing the full load. But yeah, the design could be a bit better😅
Yeah this doesnt seem safe
Truly, the real floating guitar bridge
15 minutes of anxiety waiting for him to fuck up his hands
The progress updates were terrifying
i got constipated watching this.
His experience with the anvil was naive. And when the plastic guitar broke, I wouldn't have removed the wood because it was at least a lever to get them apart.
cool for an experiment, but is too dangerous
same !!!! why isnt he at least using gloves ????
This could be another iteration of the "i wonder why women live longer than men" meme.
And also another invention that women didn't make.
@iendedyoui Unfortunately, one seems to have invented you.
2:26 honestly, an injury law firm sponsoring a person who builds crazy contraptions will never not be funny
Same with dental offices sponsoring hockey teams
14:13 cool tune is that from any song or just he's jamming
Says he freestyled it. We were all pissed lmao
Bro really built a 15-minute heart attack and called it a guitar. 💀
15 minutes for you. Hours and hours of him working and testing
@gonnalgibbons *days and days
heart attack guitar with it 15 mins speedrun
@早上好中國我有冰淇淋 A week long sheer heart attack.
It has no weaknesses.
When he used his bare hand to move the magnets while playing... I've jumped out of an airplane before and I can tell with no shame that I don't have that kind of courage.
"I never got the magnet off. So I had to order a new one!" :)
Funny thing is that my first thought when he let it snap it to the anvil was "he'll have to buy another one".
But it was also "If that magnet shatters, it'll be shrapnels all over the place"
All he needs to do is apply current to the magnet to get it off.
Congratulations! You officially have 2 new world records: 1 The most efficient air bridge and 2 The most dangerous guitar.
And this year's Darwin awards will have a killer sound track
Congratulations! You created a magnetic mousetrap!! She won't keep the tuning...forget it.
This is genuinely one of the coolest things you've ever made. Super dangerous, but that finished product looks sick.
New fear unlocked, having my electronics be shipped next to one of those magnets
What year do you live in?
@kolby4078 professional youtube comment section fight-picking strat you just employed
They dont effect new technology as much as previous
@ILoveBluePeopleoh... Thanks, I'll rest easy now
@kolby4078 So you're saying HDDs are a thing of the past? Hilarious.
The delivery guy must have been annoyed as hell by the package attracting everything around and staying stuck in the truck haha
why does this 3 inch box weigh 75 lbs????
Hope the delivery guy didn't place this package close to someone's electronics lol.
Usually the magnets ship in boxes that prevent that, but this one is too powerful to be contained
@Metyletylhexanoat Especially not to magnetic tapes with important data. Or HDDs
@iamcurious9541 RIP to the random person who ordered a collection of vintage cassette tapes the same day.
Bro just invented a magnet Guitar.
I think having two security lines either side of the playable ones would probably solve a lot of the tuning and safety struggles.
YES- or one very strong one down the middle! That way he can still shake the magnet more freely!
@tiffariff one in the middle of the strings means learning new chords and hand movements when alternating between this and a normal guitar. The bother it is to the playing probably does outweighs the minor reinforcement of the 'whacko vibrato' effect, compared to the 2 lead cables designs. One could ever argue for a third string coming from around the base of the truss rod and attached behind the strings on the chevalet.
@tomdom5846it can be set back a little in order to not interfere with the hands and normal strings
And more strings to spread the load. 6 or 12 would be much more secure
14:58 for now? that guitar just became a permanent addition to the fridge
Now he also has to order a new fridge
aaah, a fine addition to my fridge
Its a handle now
that’s why he’s buying a chainsaw so he can take it off
He wanted to add some tonefridge to the guitar
"overexaggeration" 20s later "I never got the magnet off" downplaying legitimate safety warnings and then playing yourself 😂
Bro got himself a second permanent fridge handle. With all the half empty, tin lidded jam glasses permanently attached to it inside.
It's time to start an exotic musical instrument manufacturing company, make the warnings ten times as big as the one that came with the magnet
"No magnets serviceable by owner."
"to be played by remote-controlled android assistant"
9:55 something about the image of a guitar with a safety that you need to take off before using is equal parts hilarious and terrifying.
like a grenade
now he can literally play death magnetic
LOL 🤣
Death magnetical
Best RUclips comment of 2008 so far
Aging rocker bands already have given us near-death metal.
Magnetic Fields, anyone? ruclips.net/video/wnFQn7GD1rg/video.html
Damn that was actually sounding really good towards the end too
A mass of potential energy eagerly waiting to become kinetic
Bro: Check out my new 1 tesla magnet!
Me: You mean 0.1 tesla, right? *right*?
Bro: *NO*.
No different than the string tension on the guitar neck
I can hear the SNAP/BANG now and just hope my fingers aren't in the way. 😅
Aren't we all?
@baumhauserYou two are writing a song!
Now THAT is a floating bridge! This is so cool Mattias
Hahahh hell yeah! Thanks a lot Joel!
joel
but the bridge is so heavy it collapses and the ship underneath is absolutely crushed 😂
14:04 when he said "I want to try to play something really difficult" I was 100% expecting him to start playing wonderwall
Me too 😂😂😂
What song did he play?
Oh god.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@mouseherald8434 what song did he played? any idea?
I'm wondering the same thing
Inventing a new problem where one did not exist.
looking at how this guy trusts 3d prints is like watching homer fixing his car on a wicker basket
yeah I would never, so many random unadhered surfaces on prints I wouldn't feel safe with less than 4 times what he's got on there.
@karatefylla but it depends on the filament orientation. I'm sure that all the tension is applied along the filament.
It's ok, I'm sure fingers aren't important to musicians...
Well more like the working model of a Nuclear reactor he made for Lisa's science project.
Buddy took floating bridge literally
😂😂😂😂
Hanging the guitar on the fridge is absolutely hilarious
Literally my favorite part.
😂 ikr
That is until your phone gets stuck on the magnet in your pocket, clunk
I was laughing out loud
You absolute nutcase 😂
"Hey Mattias, what's that?"
"That's my anvil and two extremely strong magnets that can't come off. I bought the magnets, put it on the anvil, and now they're just like that."
I believe that he can salvage the anvil, cause if he heats up the magnet it will loose the magnetic field and stop being a magnet.
@MonkeyP98 he also could cut a simple "wrench" out of some thick plywood and just twist them apart, or just some wooden wedges
@MonkeyP98 He can try hitting it with a hammer first or heating it below the Curie temperature, both of which could temporarily misalign the magnetic domains without permanently destroying the magnet.
I’m curious- since magnetic attraction increases as the magnets get closer together, did you ever experience loosening the tuner and having the pitch increase?
He should sell that as an art and call it PERMANENCY.
5:02 …aaaand all the hard drives that shipped in the same truck are all ruined 😂
I feel like they would probably consider that…
Only really an issue if they shipped with data on the , so any PCs with a pre installed OS is going to be fucked up
@pinkharmonica1312 who? FedEx and ups aren’t, that’s damn sure. Neither does the magnet company or the computer company
Powerful magnets have shipping regulations for this and other obvious reasons. Even more powerful ones than this usually have to be delivered by courier, and of course have to transported across the ocean via boat.
@NotYourEveryDayAlex Even the blank ones ship with a low-level format that can only be done at the factory. The other guy was right, all the HDDs would be ruined.
a personal injury law firm sponsoring a video where you put yourself in direct danger of personal injury is peak irony
I think I got ptsd from magnets. I’m too scared to even get near them anymore
When you "discovered" that a *literal* floating bridge tunes the same way as a floating tremolo, that definitely cracked me up.
Floyd Rose enjoyers got some smug satisfaction from that part
@eddominates yeah but my floyd rose is at least not trying to take my fingers away
@eddominates Right? Although at least I have the excuse that my guitar is "literally impossible to tune"
Only thing left to figure out is intonation
as a happy owner of multiple floating tremelos, at that point I was just like "it's not that bad, just tune the whole thing like three times in a row and you should be about right"
When I clicked on the video and realized you created this I was like "this is the dude that trained the octopus isn't it..." lmao
all things considered, this is about the same difficulty to tune as a regular floyd rose anyway
I had this thought too!
A bit, Floyd isn't as responsive, it has more.. basically friction that helps a lot, the scale is not as wide and it isn't as sensitive but the basic mechanics are the same. But it still is a mechanical thing. Its movement range also is not from zero to as many octaves up as you want, there are no stoppers in Matias's design and nothing to control or limit the movement. There is also probably also a non-linear power curve built in to the Floyd Rose: there is a hinge in it that works sort of like over-center mechanism, making the changes first very small and then bigger and bigger as the angle grows.
I use XL 8-38 strings with a floyd rose trem, and it's surprisingly brilliant
The flicking technique sounds similar, too.
@squidcaps4308 I feel like the design was probably improved over time to prevent guitarist from contemplating their life choices every time they restrung their guitar. There's an art to it and I'll never forgive the guy who sold me a floyd rose as my *first* guitar.
ruclips.net/video/yzXZ7cZXifo/video.html ColinFurze made bicycle and Skateboard suspension... Can you try to upgrade your guitar? It will be WAYYY SAFER and you keep some of the wobble still
9:02 I was like “Surely no flimsy 3D print is going to hold those magnets in place” and sure enough 😂
Mattias ran into the 3 body problem
lmao I got it :D
more like no-body problem, bro needs some gym time
@sandygrungerson1177 Whooosh ...
Underrated comment 👏👏👏
i said the same thing when he brought in the third magnet.
The fact that the 3d print is still holding at those tiny attach points after they're tensioned is an ad all in an of itself
congratulations, you've created a spontaneous pulverizer
1:53 That's some very compelling math. 🤣🤣
i thought the answer was 4 when i first saw this :|
Might want some custom strength strings instead of real guitar strings.
Why do the strings break? I mean when he tuned them, didn't they get the same tension as a normal guitar? Otherwise they would sound off?
So why do they break?
@Albtraum_TDDC you can overstretch regular guitar strings too
@Albtraum_TDDCas the magnet gets closer due to the strings stretching, the tension only increases because the magnets are closer. This thing is insane.
@romangudev8770 It's like current-hogging. And worse so if a string breaks. Every string that breaks catastrophically increases the tension on the remaining strings.
One of the reasons 6 stings might be a good idea, spread the load.
The tone is clearly in the magnet
I love this thanks
Technically yes, pickups are magnets so they do have a lot of influence on the tone
Tones in the balls
@dangitbobby0001 then where do girls store their tone?
@dookyking4lyfe balls
sticking the guitar to the fridge at the end made me laugh harder than I have ever remembered.
Unironically, the different sound manipulations you could make with this could lead to some really amazing music
True, but I feel like you could get close enough with a pedal to make it not worth risking fingers
It’s actually very similar to a Floyd Rose- type bridge; at 13:55 for example, that’s essentially just a whammy flutter (a very cool technique used a lot in the music I play). Although the level of flutter it gives is insane.
Do you guys know what's the riff at 14:10 ?
10:40 is very rimworld
@gracejordan110 Add in a couple of support cables made of much stronger cable, and you don't have to worry about losing any digits.
The flaw of his current design was all the load was on the very thin strings. Add some thicker cables onto the back or sides, and it will take the load off a lot, and thus reduce the risk of breaking massively.
It also builds in some redundancy for when the strings do break, the magnet won't suddenly get released, it will still remain tethered.
Shame it’s so hazardous. It sounded great. I guess the strings were modulating each other, being attached to the same springy mount?
just need a little framing on magnets,
I always preferred guitars that have harnessed the powers of dark magic and have to be carefully monitored while playing to ensure that it doesn't eat your fingers. Really gives them a sense of personality.
Dark magic? This is magnetism, not the hills of Mordor. Mind you magnetism is kind of magical. As an electrician, I'm still fascinated about generation with the use of magnets.
I was not expecting him playing so well
10:30 what a cool whammy bar!!!!!
Sounds like colors
With a risk of a bit too much wham.
a tremolo that actually does tremolo
And does actually float!
Awh i just wrote that thinking i was original
And vibrato too lol
@TomiSimatupangIt is actually THE perfection!
that tremolo sound is brutal
Few people have truly heroic commitment to discovering why something is a bad idea. Bravo.
This is not a bad idea. This is a great idea! This will work. You'll see! I'll bet you can buy one in 2 years.
@RobardoHughes It seems to me like it's just an engineering problem. Build better housing and find a stronger material for the strings and it should be good to go. Having the full 6 strings should also help distribute the load more smoothly between them.
It's a good idea until it isn't
@WobblyBits_X The strings are already just about the strongest steel you can find. But I don't think the strings are a problem. Besides, the engineering that has gone into developing steel strings over the past 2 centuries is beyond your imagination. This problem is nothing compared to designing a modern string!
@RobardoHughes Yes, I'm not suggesting a new material needs to be developed.
what song did you play on it before the strings broke?
4:56 did... did he just buy a magnet with 517 lbs of pulling force?! No wonder the strings snapped. This is terrifying. Been a while since playing guitar but strings don't need that many lbs all together, do they??
all that for 1600kr! (~$160)
Absolutely not! A 6 string bass guitar is looking at a little less than half of that. $171 of pure magnetic badassery there.
Magnets lose strength dramatically based on how far apart they are, so the strings are being pulled quite a bit less than that
@pondering_fish yeah, it only has 517 lbs of force after something goes wrong, like at 5:41 ... although that may be the pulling strength of one magnet against steel, I don't know if the force of two magnets could be higher.
Wearing glasses was super smart.
Adding body armour would be wise too.
Safety glasses will repel the shards of bone fragments.
12:15 I guess you invented a sword guitar that you have to sheathe or else you destroy your fingers lol
The in-built reverb from the magnetic bridge is really cool. I'm reminded so much of a telecaster with the sound coming from the amp.
4:05 Mattias discovers the three body problem.
😂😂😂
Also works in other areas of life, balancing between two things and three things is very different kind of a problem. Like for ex, splitting a signal once passively with just Y splitter is ok, not advisable but in a pinch it will do. Splitting it to three... now the situation is VERY different. Balancing three things in a circuit is a nightmare, balancing two is very easy. When change in one changes the other it is quite simple but when changing A changes B and C, and any change in B or C changes A... And i know it is not exactly the same thing but it has parallels in so many other areas, mechanics, electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, fluid dynamics.. relationships of all kinds really...
Hydrate me once he solved it
Same as tuning a harp
@puvendranpillay8802 hold on let me gather my 5 million soldiers to build a human computer
The 'fact' at 10:01 is hilarious
Haha yeah fr
I came to comment on it when I saw yours 😂😂 that got a legit chuckle out of me. He could tune it like a 4 string banjo!
@connorhart7597haha yeah 😂😂 (also 2 mins ago
Why "fact" is in quetation mark's.. it is a Real fact.?
I was like "Whoah! I would never have thought of that! /s" XD
Tried to change the strings - the magnets pinched together on one end.
Tried to use a small crowbar to separate the magnets - the crowbar is now my permanent whammy bar.
Thats so freaking cool! Getting steel guitar effects out of a "normal" guitar
i expected a niche guitar, but bro made an actual unique instrument and a fundamental difference with how you play it
Difference being, playing it really careful and scared of 250 kg pull force snapping your fingers
the way you play is basically just like a basic tremolo stratocaster, but magnet it is just cooler than springs
@KissatenYobai could see a company picking this idea up and fine tuning it and inventing stuff to make it more practical and dirable and less dangerous. i definitely think the magnets he used might be a little too strong lol
@andreacassia8909 There are floating bridge guitars where the bridge is kept in place by the tension of the strings on one side and springs on the other. I think it's probably a similar effect, just much safer.
@TheUnlocked Exactly, I had a floating bridge electric hollowbody guitar. It sounded amazing but was always going out of tune.
That anvil is going to become magnetized.
It will then draw itself to something larger and more powerful. And that thing will become magnetized. It will then draw to itself something really huge. Which will become magnetized . . .
. . . And that's how the planet as we knew it ended 😂
@losttribearts😂
So, I heard that electro magnets can have their strength adjusted, and more importantly, be turned off. If you still want to go with permanent magnets on that format, you'd have to invent a guitar with a more robust construction. Preferably one that comes intrinsically with 4 thicker strings and a much lower register. Too bad an instrument like that doesn't exist.
So, what you are dreaming up here would be like a guitar, but a lower register? Can't imagine that would work.
You've really gotta bass your ideas in reality.
I'd imagine that you'd also be able to invent a whole new playing style, such as slapping that revolutionary instrument?
you would need a very strong electric current and it's even more dangerous than magnets
@bigtime-hardline I think you'd be surprised at how strong a simple d-cell battery electromagnet can be.
i like how he now has to order a new anvil, a new fridge, and a new pair of magnets for the next guitar iteration
Was not expecting an American law firm ad in the middle of this. 😅 Amazing idea and video!
I guess he has a significant US audience
Morgan and Morgan and Morgan and Morgan and Morgan and
@CrazyLikeChris Indeed (as an American), but the Morgan and Morgan ad was hilariously unexpected. Like, at least Brew is related to legal cases 😅
I mean, accidents are quite related to this video 😂
Dude needs money to pay rent.
lol plan so insane my dude ran into a version of the three body problem 😭
Ha! You’re right. I’ve never considered that it could exist in a non planetary level 🧐
Edit: grammer
WAIT
LMAO
@leapingllamacorn8349 My man, just wait until you hear about atoms and molecules, and electrons too for that matter.
More like the Parallel Support Member problem.
Walks by his computer holding that and loses everything
It's 2026, come on. No reason to assume everyone still rides an HDD.
@Tarets I mean for system files, sure, but this guy's gotta have a few terrabytes of spinning platters holding some weird nonsense in it.
