The science is crazy ! YT :
n this video you can see two 8mm NdFeB N52 gold plated magnet spheres floating over a high temperature superconductor made of Yttrium-Barium-Copper-Oxide (YBCO). The superconductor was cooled down to -196°C with liquid nitrogen and is covered with ice and mist. To hold the magnet spheres absolutely upward an additional lifter magnet was used which is not visible in the images.
It can be observed that droplets of liquid oxygen, which is paramagnetic, are attracted by the magnet spheres and evaporate abruptly on the surface of the lower sphere. The liquid oxygen accumulated on the surface of the superconductor while experimenting and was not additionally added.
Furthermore you can see the mist vortexes which built up on the lower side of the magnet sphere. These vortexes consist mainly of water mist and evaporating nitrogen.
This experiment shows a complex combination of superconduction, paramagnetism, diamagnetism, magnetism, thermo-dynamics and fluid dynamics.

TheFreakOh boy, God came up with some crazy stuff when he created the world in six days. Wonder what he could have meant by this.

Yea you know, it is kinda fucked up thing to witness now that you mention it. Two floating balls attracting a liquid upwards using forces unseen.
HAH !
chingaleraNo matter how many times I've tried this experiment I get the upward liquid attraction but the balls seem to hang rather than float

renatojjsays...So what's the ETA on those floating skateboards, any clue?
robbersdog49Cool
No pun intended...
