@beepybeetle. Rather than your 1.9x10^19 years for Bi-209, I would prefer to say "a billion times the current age of the universe itself." Or, expressed as mean average lifetime (which is the half-life divided by 0.693), we would have 2.7x10^19 years, which is to say, "two billion times the current age of the universe." One reason I like bismuth is that it 'forces' the physicist to stop hiding behind the term 'stable', which is applied to the nonradioactive elements and which has a needlessly clinical, bureaucratic, cautious, soulless, antiseptic quality about it, and instead admit that atoms are, for all practical purposes, eternal -- as in "they last for two billion times the current age of the universe -- OR, for those that are not radioactive the way Bi-209 is, even longer than that."
Where did you get that huge copper pipe? None of the local hardware stores sells pipe larger than 3/4in. That 2 in pipe would be perfect for a project of mine!
It's only 1" diameter, the video must make it look larger. You can get large copper pipes locally though if you look around for plumbing/HVAC supply stores that cater to professionals. It's too bad you can't count on regular hardware stores for that sort of thing.
This is inspiring. I've been trying to figure out magnet physics as a idle thought project. but I didn't know about "diamagnetic" properties. this opens up more options to think on
I saw the Bismuth Levitator video Ernie made in the past. A very good video, but of course your video shined bright due to your excellent camera work & editing, well crafted device, and clearly spoken words. A+
Hello, I am fascinated by the concept of magnetism and this video was a true work of art. I would like to say that these videos really inspire me to go into the field of science when i graduate high school. Keep up the good work!
I'm leaving a comment because you said that reading them is your favorite thing. Your video turned me on to Bismuth as an element and the idea of diamagentism. It's 2:41 am, and I have work tomorrow, and I'm researching obscure magnetic properties. Damn you, internet. I also want to say that I really appreciated the methodical and patient approach you took to making this, showing us each step and explaining everything along the way. If only every scientist in the world were as thorough.
Well i said that pyrolitic graphite is better because you can run it on a circular track. So he wants to make a track instead of 2 chunks of bismuth which are hard to tune.
Gaaaaaaaaaaah your house must be the coolest place ever. I would frolic through it, and touch everything. When you pour the bismuth, it looks beautiful.
Your project turned out to look so amazing! In the beginning it looked like something you bought only to find out at the end that you made it yourself. You do some cool projects!
I recently bought a bismuth Crystal and am hooked on these films on making them and particularly the levitating magnet device, i plan to start making my own very soon.... amazing to watch and mesmerising also
I love how when you shook the proto-type the magnet flew around like it was attached to string, you should try making a device that shows that in full glory
Id quite like to feature this in a new compilation video I'm working on but I'd like to do it on a bigger scale. Let's say for example with a 1-inch magnetic cube as so far I can only find examples of this with the 1/4 inch. Is it as simple as just scaling everything up or is there some reason nobody has done it with bigger magnets?
If you say double the dimensions then the mass increases according to the dimensional increase cubed . So it's weight would increase eight times which can exceed capabilities of magnetic field pretty quick. Of course electro magnets might be an option but that requires energy consumption .
Ahhhhhh and infinite energy... there she blows!! XD just look at that perpetual motion guys!!! Wow. I had a dream 6 years ago where I was falling through pillows forever, I realized upon awakening that gravity was a form of endless energy. A few years later I thought about magnetism and how similar it is- and how there is infinate force in it. About this same time videos started appearing all over TH-cam of folks attempting to create "free" energy generators but all were unsuccessful- the problem was as one magnet pulled another it would cancel out its force on the other side. So even with a ring of magnets with one fixed "push" magnet in place they magnets would eventually stop themselves. Tonight I randomly decided to look it up again see if there was any progress. I realized if you could limit or stop magnetism on one side of a magnet you could solve the initial problem- looked up to see if any elements distorted or dampened magnetism and guess what, good old bismuth. One more youtube search brings me here and bingo. Now finally time to build a prototype! I expect others to do the same- chears!
***** hmmmm. Alright what if then instead we have the outside of the train be an electromagnet and the walls of the train made of bismuth. Pull into station, the train shuts down it's magnet to "land" and everyone can board with no magnetic interference.
Sgt Nomad Quantum locking would be the most efficient way to create a maglev train. Quantum locking would also not require magnetic fields large enough to surround the train so no electronics would be in danger.
That would be extremely expensive and the amount of fuel efficiency gained would not be worth the cost of the resources. However, the concept of using magnetism to lift and propel trains has been implemented (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev). Mag Lev trains can go much faster because they have no friction with the ground, and using electromagnets to propel the train is actually a pretty cost efficient method of transportation.
"Reading them is my favorite part of releasing a new video" That's a bloody lie, there are too many assholes in the comment section for it to be enjoyable. Anyways, great video! I think that I might actually do this one. Some of the other tutorials are too complex to do at home.
Whe I was a little boy I used to find Bismuth Cristals from time to time and I always thought it was Silver or some kind of aluminium, but now I know better! Thanks!
There is a force acting on that magnet against gravity. there is energy spent in a way or another, and maybe it can last as long as universe itself or even more I don't know about that but it cannot last forever. Perpetual motion is a myth.
When a rock is lying on the ground. The force of the rock on the ground (normal force) is also counteracting gravity. This video just shows two counteracting forces in equilibrium. It's pretty much the same thing. By the way, what do you mean by perpetual motion? As far as I watched the video, the magnet is hanging still. If you are referring to the spinning of the magnet, it will eventually slow due to air resistance.
Perpetual motion was probably not the right term here and yes the ground can also hold something from going down to the center of the Earth due the atoms own electromagnetic field but my point still hold, the magnetic field doesn't come from nowhere nor it can last forever. Something has to be turned into a force strong enough to levitate, it doesn't just happens and last forever. Atoms themselves decay over time. I'm not sure about that but if you measure the mass or a magnet over a very period of time its mass should decrease.
Ummm he stated this in the video. That it would "levitate" over 100 years until the configuration would needed to be adjusted to compensate for magnetic loss.
Yes, magnetic loss will occur due to warmth. A magnet is nothing more than just iron or another ferromagnetic element with atoms that are all pointing in the same direction. Warmth is the movement of atoms (by definition) When the atoms in a magnet move, they start pointing in more random directions. Eventually they point in all directions evenly and therefore there is no magnetic power anymore. If this experiment were performed at 0 K, the magnet would levitate indefinitely.
This seems like a really project that would be fun to watch, but there are some problems in the title that the video claims. I don't know if I'd call this 'indefinite' levitation, as the magnetic properties of the bismuth will eventually decay over time. Also, there is energy being here, but because of the lower friction within the field, the magnet can spin for longer amounts of time. However, this too will eventually stop spinning. The energy, though relatively small, comes from the force of the push that starts the magnet on its way. For this truly to have no energy cost, it would have to have an efficiency of over 100% and the energy would have to come from nowhere, which breaks the second law of thermodynamics. Again, this is a really awesome project that is definitely fun to watch.
Hi:) this is definitely one of your best! thankyou for making all these abstract masterpieces! they're fantastic gift ideas that are unique and that easily take the spotlight. Thankyou for all that you are..and even though I don't know you, you're one of the best people I know:)
When he said "my favourite elements" it sounded weird... But then I've realised that everyone has his own favourite element: mine is gold, Kim Jong Un's is plutonium, etc
You and what you do are simply amazing! If you aren't, you should be a teacher; you're real good at it and at keeping subjects fun and interesting which keeps the attention of those to whom you impart your knowledge.
In an ideal vacuum, this would spin forever. However, adding any sort of conductor to induce a current in is going to cause the creation of an opposing magnetic field. This will slow, then stop, the magnet. I want to break the laws of physics as bad as you do, man, but this won't do it.
Hey NightHawk. Nice to see such great videos on youtube. I like watching your experiments 'cause they are such an inspiration. Also your vacuum cannon is an amazing invention I think. Best wishes and esteem from Germany. Go on m8e. Show us how it is done.
Well made, well thought out, we'll planned, awesome music! Way to go, turning a science project into a thing of beauty, and a work of art! Poetry in perpetual motion! 😉
Hello NightHakInLight, I was wondering, is it the combination of the big magnet and gravity that helps to hold it? or would it be possible to hide the magnet inside the buttom board? Best regards
I have a theory that UAP's have sheets of Bismuth in them to help with manipulating the gravitational field around them, I think it’s a very underestimated material.
The internet has created a lot of misunderstanding about "diamagnetic". What it means is it generates an opposing magnetic field if it is exposed to a CHANGING magnetic field. In a static field, it does not. That can be either motion, or an electromagnet powered by alternating current. In this case, the person placing the magnet near the bismuth supplies the initial energy. Irregularities in the shape of the magnet and the bismuth could keep the field fluctuating for quite a while, but I think it's still stored energy that would eventually "run down" mainly due to the friction of the air. It would take a while. Aluminum has the same property, just not as much.
You're confusing diamagnetism for magnetic induction (which requires a changing magnetic field). Diamagnetism doesn't require an input of energy in the same way gravity doesn't require an input of energy, it's just a static force.
I once drank bismuth, but it was in the form of a pink liquid and it made my stomach feel better.

Too bad it only lived a half life
@beepybeetle. Rather than your 1.9x10^19 years for Bi-209, I would prefer to say "a billion times the current age of the universe itself." Or, expressed as mean average lifetime (which is the half-life divided by 0.693), we would have 2.7x10^19 years, which is to say, "two billion times the current age of the universe." One reason I like bismuth is that it 'forces' the physicist to stop hiding behind the term 'stable', which is applied to the nonradioactive elements and which has a needlessly clinical, bureaucratic, cautious, soulless, antiseptic quality about it, and instead admit that atoms are, for all practical purposes, eternal -- as in "they last for two billion times the current age of the universe -- OR, for those that are not radioactive the way Bi-209 is, even longer than that."

Try using compressed air like those dusters to get it really spinning! My guess is 3 hours till it stops. I'm probably wrong, it'll go all day..
you can also conceal the floating magnet and put some design to it to make it more artistic! :)
