Truly the stuff of science fiction! This brand new discovery/invention was only patented in 2012, and everyone here at Grand Illusions has been utterly amazed to see this effect in action.
Basically the main unit, or inverter magnet, has a plastic ring that contains two circular neodymium magnets in the centre, and six smaller ones around the edge. There is then a second, test magnet, which is identical to the two magnets in the centre of the inverter array.
The magnets are arranged so that the test magnet is attracted to the central magnets in the inverter array, but repelled by the six, smaller magnets around the edge. So given these conflicting forces, what will happen when you bring the two together?
Initially, the two are attracted, since the large magnets work at a greater distance. But then, as they get close, the repulsion starts to work between the test magnet and the six small magnets, and the test magnet stops, leaving a gap between the two! The inverter array and the test magnet are held together in this invisible bond, and you can move one magnet and the other will follow, despite the fact there is an air gap between them.
This reminds us of the so called tractor beam that occurs in various science fiction movies, where a spaceship can reach out through space and hold another ship or another object locked in an invisible beam!
The inventor did extensive computer modelling of the magnetic fields involved, in order to discover exactly what combination of magnets would work. Only then did he start work on a series of prototypes.

This is what I wanted from magnets all along.
Honestly yeah, didn’t quite know what it was that I wanted from magnets when I just mess around with them, but that right there is really a satisfying result. I would want treat it like a fidget spinner too and try it in midair

Man, i just love the way this dude speaks, so concisely and clearly.
Sophisticated yet very easy to understand, like a true scientist.
Hmm, more like a true communicator. Only a few people(/scientist) are really good science communicators such as Carl Sagan, Bill Nye, David Attenborough, Walter Levin et.c.
He sort of has a transatlantic accent which reminds me so much of Walter Bishop from FRINGE. :)
Yeah I agree.
noyfb, Disgrace Tyson is the buffoon of the modern scientific establishment , so leave him out of it..
Tyson is the best out of them all. He's the new generations Carl Sagan. So to leave him out of it is just stupidity on your part. I love Bill Nye, but Tyson is 100% a better speaker and scientist than him. (Since Bill Nye technically is only a mechanical engineer and has no actually degrees in anything else. Everything else is just honorary.

"It's called an inverter, by the inventer"
Nice phrase
i heard "by the inventor"
The inventor of the inverter was an introverted investor and instigating transvestite.
rolled rite out..
He was called an inventor by the inverter.
Y'all need to get your facts straight before starting to correct someone. Look it up
Magnets, how the fuck do they work.
Lmao
It comes down to the 1/r^2 law, while farther away the attracting forces are greater closer in the repelling forces overcome the attracting.
Sebastian Au thank u
Leviana Rios
My pleasure! ^^
that is a description, not an explanation! We want to know what goes on under the hood. Faraday would be a good start but you have to deal with the Ether or virtual photons if you believe in those.
My understanding is that Earnshaw was talking about holding a magnet in space. The wooden dowel constrains the ring magnet from flipping over.
I think this could actually be a good model to demonstrate the attraction between Ions. At first, the big inner magnet, which represents the core of the atom, pulls in the other magnet, but as soon as the attracted magnet gets too close, it is stopped by the smaller outer magnets, which represent the electron shell.
Even magnets knows how to social distance to each other.

A 3D version of this would awesome. Maybe a solid containing four correctly aligned magnets could keep a 5th magnet levitating in a similar nearby position no matter how you rotated it (with some distortion due to gravity).
If he distributes all his toys , every kid in the world will be happy
The functioning is pretty simple. Magnetic force is an inverse r-squared effect. the larger magnets pull together at a larger distance, until the effect of the smaller magnets (being closer) overcome the attractive force of the (further) larger magnets.
let's say that the small magnets are .2in closer than the far magnets. at 1inch it's 1.2in^2 / 1in2 = 1.44 multipplier. at .2in it's .4in^2/.2in2 = 4 thus the closer (but smaller) magnet gets a 4x multiplier over the larger (further) magnet. When the distance multiplier matches the strenth difference the two systems are in equilibrium. Any closer and the small magnets push REALLY hard. Any firther and the big magnets oversome the repulsion of the small ones.
HEYYYYOOOO .... he invented magnetic bearing accidentally.....
I'm on that TH-cam browsing grind. Pretty cool what you can find on here when your bored.

Glawber Oliveira god, angry much?
yeah that escalated very quickly for no reason lmfao
@@GlawberOliveira you're obviously much dumber than you think
But can you hold it up vertically, then dangle the simple magnet under it, so it hovers?
Sadly, no.
Permanent magnetic levitation is proven impossible. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earnshaw's_theorem
Except for a number of cases that break the assumptions of the theorem. Such cases are diamagnetism (truly permanent), superconductivity (permanent as long as it is cold, arguably a special case of diamagnetism) spin stabilized as in the levitron (not permanent as spin will slow down) or active control as a number of levitating gadgets (not permanent since it uses power), most of these are shown in various of Tims videos.
This one has neither. It uses the force from the table to keep it stable, in the air the magnet would flip over.
Kasper Feld You can do it with certain diamagnetic materials in room temperature though.
I have a way to levitate them. It makes use of a gyro combined with it. The gyro won't stop due to a electronic motor. I just need a couple grand to build it. I do believe you will be able to ride it :)
Just money is stopping me.
Kasper Feld ah damn, i already imagine a train hover with magnet.
SumateRAGEming what? There are.
There must be a very good use for this on a larger scale somewhere , Amazing ..
Make vehicles this way, some how, never have accidents.
but they can never separate
.......As long as its in that configuration. Have an actuator separate the magnets or use electromagnets.
Sonn Ikdoh Automatic docking system for space craft. Electro magnets of course. If anyone tries for the patent, you've got me to contend with.
ISamuelII Wouldn't electromagnets big enough for that be really really heavy and not really worth sending into space in the first place? Not to mention the power needed to drive them will always be more than the actual power you will be locking your space craft with, therefore it would require a huge amount of power.
This was the first video I ever watched from Tim! I'm so glad I found him through this. Tim has brought me a lot of joy! 😃
I watched him YEARS ago And I finally found his channel HIS CHANNEL WAS MY CHILDHOOD
Would have been great to see what happens when lifted up in the air, or when either was flipped!
His voice is putting me in a trance.
Should pick it up and see if the smaller magnets float in the air.
Thinking about same thing 👍🏻
It wouldn't work it would simply flip over on to the middle magnet
Moofy You sure?
Positive. The only thing keeping them from flipping and sticking to the stronger force is their own weight and the flat surface of the table. You would need a three dimensional array with more magnets in order to make something float.
ragepoweredgamer Depends on if the field pulling it sideways has a strength with the other magnet greater than gravity though, right?
This is hands down the best channel on TH-cam
Excellent demonstration. Would like to have seen the magnet's + and - signs shown on each magnet with a marker pen.
I would love to put that toy under some paper and drop some iron filings on top to see what's going on
A very unusual magnetic system. Very unique indeed. I have never seen a magnet hold something at a fixed distance. I could see this being used for motor bearings, and various magic tricks.
seems like the inner magnet is stronger, thus attracting the other magnet from quite a distance. but as the other magnet gets close, the force of the ring magnets increases faster because they are closer to the other magnet - because the magnetic force is not a linear but an exponential function.
Actually, it is not an exponential function. It’s an inverse square function.
@@Sauromannen isn’t that also exponential?
@@ThomasRippel no. An exponential function has the variable in the exponent such as e^x,while in this case it is like x^-2.
@@Sauromannen i think what we are looking at is something like x^1/y
@@ThomasRippel just guessing, huh? There are perfect mathematical models for simple magnetic dipoles that you can look up, and they are not exponential in nature. The actual force between magnets are depending on the magnetic field that decays as an inverse square of the distance. The shape and surrounding magnetic (or susceptibility) properties affects the forces between magnetic objects as well.
It is the same reason why your hand can not go through a wall :)
When the outer electrons are close together they repel each other more than the electron and proton attack each other :)
It all has to do with the Distance Square formula :)
+Michel Lavergne No! It has to do with the distance to the satellite ones being less than to the middle one, and an equilibrium, where as he said, the other magnetic force would increase if the distance would change. The reason is not quite the same, but the phenomenon of magnetism is though.
stop smiling
:)
Very interesting!
I can imagine how this phenomenon could be used for nearly frictionless bearings by using such an arrangement in an evacuated chamber.
Yes. . . or a completely magnetic transmission. No gears, no parts are touching. No power robing friction. No oil needed. No friction.
It's actually pretty simple, but a good demo for improving understanding of magnetic field interactions.
TL;DR: At the distance where the outer magnet stops, the pulling force from centre magnets is equal to repulsive force from outer magnets so they balance each other out.
Longer explanation: Magnetic force falls off in the inverse cube of distance. The big magnets' interactions cause an attractive force, while the big/small magnet interactions cause a repulsive force. Since the big magnet at the centre is so much larger than the satellites, the attractive force is stronger at long range. But when the big magnet outside the inverter assembly approaches the satellite magnets, the repulsive force increases faster than the attractive force. When the big magnet gets close enough to the satellites, the repulsive force will be stronger than attractive force and push the outside magnet away. But at certain point, the attractive force and repulsive force are just the same. That's the equilibrium distance. In theory, if you placed these magnets on a very low friction surface (like floating on an air cushion), they would start to oscillate around that equilibrium distance, and if you minimize the dampening friction forces, you can get them to oscillate like that for a very long time.
But the equilibrium distance is not quite the same on any direction. Because the satellite magnets are placed on intervals, the equilibrium distance has corresponding peaks and dimples on it. The equilibrium distance is, obviously, longest at the angles where the satellite magnets are, and closest between the satellite magnets. The system wants to settle to the lowest possible energy state, so the outside magnet will "fall" into the dimples where the equilibrium distance is the closest to the inverter assembly. And it wants to stay there, which causes the outer magnet to rotate with the inverter assembly.
This assembly is stable on two-dimensional surface, but unstable on three dimensions - if you try to lift the magnets from the surface into air, there will be nothing stopping the outer magnet from going up or down, and then it'll just probably flip over the satellite magnets and attach itself to the centre magnets.
By the way, the word "equilibrium" has its roots in two latin words: "Aequus" for "equal" and "libra" for "balance". It means, literally, equal balance and in physics that is applied to situations like this where two forces balance each other out.
I have watched this video twice. First time ten years ago when I was a kid, and 2nd time now when I am twenty. A lot of things changed during this period but this video video didn't change. How cool is it!
Underrated discovery
I think this is exactly what happens to atoms in bonds, or in crystal lattices. Just replace North and South with Positive and Negative charge. A big proton with a positive charge with little negative electrons around it, creating a "sweet spot" for others to lock in to. atoms bonded are not touching but cannot leave each other easily as well.
Great video!
yep, also how the moon and earth and sun and everything do their cosmic tango.
I kept thinking "lift it up already!!!" ....
Holy crap that's freaking cool!! Why are we not using magnets a little more in our technology? Just seems like there is way, way more potential here!
That really is quite magical!! I love things that make sense at the same time as not making sense!!
"I'm very fond of magnetic toys, I have quite a number of them in my collection."
That was really creative and the effect - damn amazing!
Excellent!
I guess it makes sense as magnets have a nonlinear attractive/repulsive force so the larger central magnet pulls it it until the smaller repulsive force of the outside magnets matches that attractive force. Very cool!
I love this guy so much, I listen to him while I'm sleeping xD just so calming

XD ha ha
Witty.
A good demonstration of the inverse-square law. The larger and smaller magnet's field stength scales disproportionately as you get closer. Far away from the disk, the stronger magnet's field is dominant, but close to the disk, the weaker magnet's field is dominant, since you are much to it than the larger one.
I’m so glad this guy makes videos
Reminds me of some of my relationships. :o)

molongjoe94 interesting test, no idea of it before , I am a happy INFP :) Thank you for sharing this link :)
Fascinating! Next question: Would more of the "toys" or the sets of larger magnets be allowed to freely enter into an arrangement with what you have there already, or would they be repulsed or repelled too greatly?
This is low-key the best analogy to show in a class for how electrons bond to nuclei.
Everyone expected that it would spin at an incredible speed solving the world's energy problems 🙂
if you can balence the fiekds perfectly and shape them right you can make an magnetic bearing wich are the lowest friction bearings you can get
They are on the table, you idiot
that doesnt even make sense
Fennec Fox maybe...
FennecTECH the lowest friction bearings are those that are broken and don't spin anymore.
Choice777 - Fool! Broken bearings that don't spin anymore mean local friction is too high!
Who thought that the big magnet will be rotating🤣
I thought the big magnet would rotate but then it wouldn't be magic would it.
Looks like a fantastic bearing for something extremely lightweight. A pinwheel would spin nicely on this.

Very cool, a little disappointed you didn't show us what happens when you stand it on its edge though.
Watching this vid is like watching that apple fall on Newton's head.
It's like you just demonstrated how planets are positioned in an Electric Universe model.
9digitNo Planets are "positioned" by gravity and not by magnetism. Don't know where you got such ridiculous idea.
ShadowManceri
What is gravity?
9digitNo Gravity is a force that does make objects with energy to attract each other.
ShadowManceri Uh please be more coherent with your response. 9digitNo is actually hitting on the similarities between gravitational attraction and electrical attraction. In fact, both forces are described very similarly, for example the magnitude of both forces is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects squared and directly proportional to the fundemental values of each field (mass and charge). No clue what hes saying about the Electric Universe model. No data supports that hypothesis. Also an apple never fell on newtons head that is just a legend
wasianish Force carrier between electromagnetism and gravity are fundamentally different. Sure similarities exists like Sun and Earth are similar in many ways.
This is very much like how chemical bonds are formed.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!

will122391 Actually the magnetic field still exists in space, In fact many satellites have a large metal rod that acts as a giant compass needle that helps them maintain rotational momentum in low earth orbit.

OMG! the whole reason I watched this was because I'm watching Star Trek Voyager and I started wondering how magnets worked. And then he mentions Star Trek. Hehe, awesome. =) It is magic it seems. Something like this phenomena makes me wonder whether its happening on a much larger scale in the universe.
In a way it is happening on a larger scale in the universe except it's gravity, not magnetism that does the pulling
lol
Study physics. Learning how the world works is very satisfying.
***** Yes the 2 magnet sizes have different polarities there's a conflict point between the pulling of one and the pushing of the other
etmax1 It is interesting knowing the fact that we do not really know what 'gravity' is. It appears like the orbits of things, like rings around planets. The neutral polarity of the ring particles, are guided to the magnetic equilateral position in the orbit by the magnetic polarity of the planet below. The "Thunderbolts of the universe" guys are onto something profound and for some strange reason ignored by universities current research grant system.
That reminded me the earth and the moon sync rotation!
That's too simple....
Science and space require billions of tax payer funded dosh to pretend we can live on mars...
They need gravity that apparently keeps us from falling off earth because it's super powerful....but yet it allows million lbs of clouds to float and birds to fly...
Relativity....string theory...quarks...dark matter...and black holes and lots of other imaginary theory that cannot be proven to keep taking all these billions away from tax payers...
Simplicity like magnetism making the sun and moon rotate around us which can actually be demonstrated by putting magnets around a table....doesnt make any money from tax payers....and that's theoretical pseudo science in a nutshell imo...
Its belief in science just as it was belief in religious faith....and just like the vatican and others got rich of its citizens...this seems to be following in the same path.....and meanwhile while all these theories about is moving around the solar system at billions of miles a day in multiple directions....our stars and Polaris remain in a perfect yearly clock....🤷🏾♂️
I cant help but think that many of the scientific community are deliberately talking nonesense to keep on taking billions and billions of funding from its citizens....he who pays the funding controls the results....and yet we must trust the science.....makes you wonder..🤔
Very nice demonstration. Attraction at close range with repulsion at very close range is a useful concept in understanding a great deal of chemistry and atomic theory.
being used already in the europen railroad system. Its called Maglev Trains.

Remember being a sour puss over a Japanese Flicker Bulb that for the life of me can't find again... Anyways, great channel.
The plain magnet is locked into the space between the 2 smaller magnets which is why it turns when you turn the disk. The 2 small magnets push it away whilst the large inner disk magnet draws it in.
The large magnet at the centre has far reach whereas the 2 smaller ones don't. The 2 of them together equal the power of the large one however they are separated reducing their reach. So the large centre magnet draws in the other large magnet but as it approaches it comes into proximity (reach) of the 2 smaller ones, where they can then have their effect of pushing it away.
Very interesting magnetic configuration. I can imagine many possible applications. Thanks for the video.
We are seeing the incipient creation of a machine that will be made using a form of perpetual motion that generates power. It's coming.

Frictionless bearing.
It can't rotate. Well, i thik it can at high speed, but the variation in the magnetic field will create strong parassite currents into the magnets itself, braking down the "bearing". But... may be with some modification? :-)
Graziano Ullucci I'm confident that you could figure out how to suspend a high RPM shaft in a magnetic field if you decided to.
I'm having an idea of a possible solution for a bearing right now actually... But, as usual, it will not work I'm pretty sure! :-)

There is no mystery here. Magnetic fieds follow the inverse square law. At a distance, the field from the large magnet overcomes that of the small ones. But at a certain distance, equilibrium is achieved. If you were to puss them closer together, the repulsion would increase.
Equilibrium is impossible, read earnshaw's theorem the setup work because of friction on the table it is like pseudo levitation, the tip of a pen touch the wall.

This is very very very very interesting.
Two states. Repulsion&Atraction at the same time.
The limitation of magnetic bearings is the fact that you aren't just supporting the weight of the spinning parts, but rather the kinetic energy of the velocity at which they spin, which can be in the kilotons for something as small as a cars drive train.
Now what happens when yo hold it in the air?
This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
