I can just imagine Mrs Vince walking in and seeing a levitating moccasin, and then just walking away shaking her head. This is definitely a classic MMV fix, such a pointless but beautiful thing! Great job, Vince 👍
Good job, Vince. I have a similar magnetic levitation device, but the magnet is forced up from below. The "sound" you referred to is a buzzing of the electromagnetic coils on that circuit board being switched on and off by a Hall effect transistor. Thanks. Have fun.
The sound you hear is just the coil that switches on and off on command of a sensor (HAL sensor, ultrasonic sensor, or optical sensor, or sensing distance by current measurement of AC current in the coil).
The design probably had only 4 screws at the corners, but after manufacturing they realized that the long piece of plastic buckles in the middle and just slapped some adhesive afterwards to prevent it from bulging out. At least this is my guess.
like the kinds that have two or more armetures on a turntable with a row of leds that spins to give the elusion of a constant floting text? Iv seen some toy fans like that too.
I got one second hand and it's not working. Obviously the fan doesn't move when two magnets are placed close to each other. Would it be circuit issue? Apparently the led lights work fine. Spent over 5 hours to fix it but not successful.
This is awesome Vince Vince actually just started getting into sneakers and these have peaked my interest because I see the ads and wonder what's going on with this
Ugh a ruddy slipper! Never thought I'd see levitating bread today, you might say it's "leavened bread" 🤣 I thought at first that fan was for cooling but I can see how it's a good solution to rotate it now.
LOL @ the floating slipper! An interesting fix! PS: you want to be careful what you levitate - strong magnetic fields can kill some stuff. LMFAO at trying to butter the rotating, floating bread! 🤣
What a unique item. Watching these fixes even if it is a simple manufacture error is always great. I was wondering if you had ever searched for old cuckoo clocks on ebay.I think one of those would make for an interesting repair, and the clockworks would be much easier to work on than a wristwatch, yet still be very interesting.
You should made this into a model display for your man-cave, Mandalorian, Stormtrooper display unit, something like that, and lower the air speed for a slow rotation. Would be cool!
I don't think (almost obviously) ;) anyone would buy them. I saw these things in many stores few years back though, so they were probably sent out by the shoe manufacturer or distributor for window display purposes.
The fix it king is back!, great to see another fix it video Vince, you're videos are always enjoyable to watch, been watching your older videos all week, I can never get tired of your content, have a great weekend and all the best buddy 👍
Oh, maybe if I had put the magnet up to the top it would have worked. Yes, I bet you are correct. I assumed as did the seller that it was dead because the lights weren't on and nothing happens on the remote control. Thank you👍👍👍
It’s amazing how some companies will just write stuff of and say bin it rather than recall and sort out, I suppose if the comp has gone bust they can’t recall. Nice fix Vince.
The amount of times I found my LED driver disconnected after shifting furniture around, or in your case, it may have come off in transit. I used a drop of hot glue to keep the wire and LED driver connected. It doesn't take much to disconnect it.
Your "new-found passion" made me laugh heartily. I could happily watch a whole video of you levitating increasingly ridiculous items (though I do think the bread would be hard to top).
such a cool item and the end of the video I was thinking as a practising magician what I could levitate :) and what an easy fix :) then I saw the ending with all the items levitating and thought to myself awesome Vince :)
Top tip for working with tacky adhesives: I keep my isopropyl alcohol in a trigger pump bottle so I can spray it into tight spaces because IPA has the magical ability to inhibit every tacky adhesive I've ever encountered, for at least a few seconds until it evaporates, after which the adhesive regains its properties completely unaffected.
it's a cool concept, but its expensive for what it is.. Thanks for sharing vince, i love your videos.. stay safe and see you in your next video Brother.
Haha as I kid I didn't even know there was an air bubble i just thought it was a see through thing and the rubber things you see inside were the sole/etc. Never seen them burst or even heard of it. How did they feel after it the air was out? Terrible?
You've only just started to wear that slipper out Vince, my Grandad used to put cardboard on the inside of his slippers when holes started appearing. For the ultimate in comfort though if anyone ever had new carpet fitted he'd cadge an offcut for his slippers, cutting the shape out, lol!
I think I'd watch a 20 minute video of you trying to levitate items in your house. That was fun. If I had a sneaker collection, I would buy a few of them.
Thanks Vince! I can see that due to poor restraint of the "heavy" led controller, that a bump, would knock that controller loose. I've got hundreds of meters of that LED tape and those 4 pin connections have a very light fit. BTW, Everyone can use a scale! I use mine to weigh RC hobby parts, mixing epoxy, baking in the kitchen and so much more😎
Reminds me of those levitating world globes you can purchase, nice fix Vince. Edit now theres something she who should not be named could be made to do , a floating smart speaker powered by a close field power supply.
I'm here for the dirty slipper and I can confidently say I was not disappointed. It would be an interesting to make a levitating Bluetooth speaker out of that thing
Yes it is the fan but also when the trainers/bread etc. is in the perfect place it creates a little buzzing noise and also feels different. The camera mic didn't pick up the difference in noise unfortunately 👍
Lovely slipper, Vince. The question is where is the other one?! A bit of a strange product really. But I could see it in major trainer high street retailer.
I've got a 3 year old ring doorbell 1 that stopped working. There's no light and it's not charging. It's getting hot around the charging port when the charger is plugged in. I would like to send it to you if you're interested. I've already bought a new one so I don't want it back.
I can just imagine the kids at school, the Mrs at work, and you going around the house to see what stuff you can levitate 🤣. not a bad job if you ask me lol
I kept watching because it was another interesting video from Vince, but I can't imagine why such an object would exist, except perhaps as a shop display. I have better things to do with my money. But then I'm 78, not 18.
The noise is a consequence of magnetostriction and physics. The electro magnet is doing PWM in response to a hall effect sensor in a PID loop. You're hearing vibrations in the device as a consequence of the PWM and newton's laws. It pushes against the magnet in the shoe. The forces of suspension are equally and opposite applied to the levitator. The modulation creates vibrations, aka sound and sensation.
That bit a the end was exactly me when i had my levitron too. I used to use it to float model cars, lego, An empty CD Rom drive that had the innards ripped out. All kinds of stupid things just because i could! Good work Vince. Now i'm sure you'll move on to levitating pastries/cakes for the wife! lol (That's what i did!)
I can just imagine Mrs Vince walking in and seeing a levitating moccasin, and then just walking away shaking her head. This is definitely a classic MMV fix, such a pointless but beautiful thing! Great job, Vince 👍
😂😂 Hahah distributing the smell around the room makes it all the more disturbing!
Just imagine if she stayed around to see the levitating bread and toilet rolls!
🤣
This is the most unnecessary item i have ever seen. But like allways a very entertaining video. Carry on mate!
"You know what he did then? Stuck two toilet rolls on a game controller and set it twirling like a ballerina. Funniest nonsense you ever saw."
The way this video turned into a vince plays with levitation video, hilarious.
Good job, Vince. I have a similar magnetic levitation device, but the magnet is forced up from below. The "sound" you referred to is a buzzing of the electromagnetic coils on that circuit board being switched on and off by a Hall effect transistor. Thanks. Have fun.
Thanks Leo👍👍
Cool fix Vince. I love the variety on your channel
Oh the rotating slipper is a gem! Very entertaining fix on another unique item.
Thank you Roger. Exactly what it should have been designed for 😂👍
@@Mymatevince I used to have similar slippers until my wife banned them.
@@RetroTechRepair 😂🤣
The ending was worth sticking around for :D Gave me a smile!
😂👍 Thanks Karthik
Ah HA, you found a way to make it exciting to watch ALL THE WAY to the end, credits and all.
GOOD SHOW!
New passion, levitating things..
Awesome
A levitating bread holder while you butter it is the best invention yet.
The sound you hear is just the coil that switches on and off on command of a sensor (HAL sensor, ultrasonic sensor, or optical sensor, or sensing distance by current measurement of AC current in the coil).
I wish i could give more than one thumbs up on this one!!!!! LOVE IT. Carry on the fantastic job. love the channel.
My Saturday has been levitated to a new level of joy and happiness. StAnKy SLiPpEr and all. Thanks! I needed that. Cheers!
The design probably had only 4 screws at the corners, but after manufacturing they realized that the long piece of plastic buckles in the middle and just slapped some adhesive afterwards to prevent it from bulging out. At least this is my guess.
And screws only in the corners is nicer.
Great fix. I don't care much about shoes that I would display them but I would display that slipper all day. The thing itself looks fun.
I'd love to see one of those spinning 3D holographic advertising displays being fixed if you ever found one.
like the kinds that have two or more armetures on a turntable with a row of leds that spins to give the elusion of a constant floting text?
Iv seen some toy fans like that too.
I got one second hand and it's not working. Obviously the fan doesn't move when two magnets are placed close to each other. Would it be circuit issue? Apparently the led lights work fine. Spent over 5 hours to fix it but not successful.
Levitating a loaf of bread to display makes about as much sense to me as levitating a shoe. Well done!
😂👍
This is awesome Vince Vince actually just started getting into sneakers and these have peaked my interest because I see the ads and wonder what's going on with this

Wouldn’t that be the nicest utility for the next Silvester Stallone movie? What‘s that? Levitating bread. What does it do?
Vince going all mad scientist at the end is everything I needed today ❤❤❤❤
LOL @ the floating slipper! An interesting fix! PS: you want to be careful what you levitate - strong magnetic fields can kill some stuff. LMFAO at trying to butter the rotating, floating bread! 🤣

Hello Vince, I’m Dominic and I wanna say that Ixwatched one of your videos and They’re amazing

Thanks Phillip, only once but there was nothing interesting on eBay, I might look again for a faulty one👍👍
My Mate Vince - The Edd China of the DIY world. ...Brilliant!
Keep up the good work! 👍🙂🇬🇧
You should made this into a model display for your man-cave, Mandalorian, Stormtrooper display unit, something like that, and lower the air speed for a slow rotation. Would be cool!
This has to be one of the most ridiculous items I've ever seen, who would buy a shoe display? 🤷♂️ Anyway, Great video Vince as always.
There are people who collect sneakers, some of these go for thousands of Euros. This item is made for them.
Well Vince obviously
I don't think (almost obviously) ;) anyone would buy them. I saw these things in many stores few years back though, so they were probably sent out by the shoe manufacturer or distributor for window display purposes.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo I simply must show off my slave labour manufactured trainers!
The fix it king is back!, great to see another fix it video Vince, you're videos are always enjoyable to watch, been watching your older videos all week, I can never get tired of your content, have a great weekend and all the best buddy 👍
This was a great video to end the day on. Loved the toilet roll holder and other items. Thanks!
Great Fix, next time keep an eye out for the arrows that indicate the +12V or +5V so you plug it correctly.
Really unusual item but great at the same time. Really enjoyed this one vince. This would look great in a shop window.
@My Mate VINCE Are you sure that the LED being unplugged was keeping the magnetic part from working? I think that remote was only for the LED light.
Oh, maybe if I had put the magnet up to the top it would have worked. Yes, I bet you are correct. I assumed as did the seller that it was dead because the lights weren't on and nothing happens on the remote control. Thank you👍👍👍
It’s amazing how some companies will just write stuff of and say bin it rather than recall and sort out, I suppose if the comp has gone bust they can’t recall. Nice fix Vince.
I've just started watching this and the excitement I also felt when it WASN'T a simple fix is...... strange!
The amount of times I found my LED driver disconnected after shifting furniture around, or in your case, it may have come off in transit. I used a drop of hot glue to keep the wire and LED driver connected. It doesn't take much to disconnect it.
Funny at the end Vince.
That bread roll has given me the urge to go and make myself a bacon sandwich with red rocking horse .
Your "new-found passion" made me laugh heartily. I could happily watch a whole video of you levitating increasingly ridiculous items (though I do think the bread would be hard to top).
Loved the ending bits with random levitating items, that was grand haha
Finally! I started to get bored of watching your old videos
Seeing the slipper spinning and the various things floating at the end has got me in stitches 😂😂😂 god I love this channel
such a cool item and the end of the video I was thinking as a practising magician what I could levitate :) and what an easy fix :) then I saw the ending with all the items levitating and thought to myself awesome Vince :)
Priceless ending xD
Always enjoyable content, great work mate :)

👍🤣🤣🤣I have some spare carpet!!
@@Mymatevince Nice one Vince, Grandad would be proud! 🤣
Awesome Video Vince Just What I was needing after a stressful day keep up the Amazing work and ill think about joining your patreon soon : )
its sooooo unique btw been subbed from the day u uploaded the ps4 slim setup vid
I think I'd watch a 20 minute video of you trying to levitate items in your house. That was fun. If I had a sneaker collection, I would buy a few of them.
I've been watching your channel for like 2 or 3 years
Levitating bread roll is EVERYTHING! Thanks for the laughs, Vince
Thanks Vince!

BTW, Everyone can use a scale! I use mine to weigh RC hobby parts, mixing epoxy, baking in the kitchen and so much more😎
Yeah, I have a fair amount of led strips in my retro game corner.
Those controllers can barely hold their own weight.
Nice simple fix but the very end is the best. I got a good laugh :)
your so great my mate vince i love this video at the end
I wonder if the trainer magnet has enough pull to detach that socket while in the box?
It’s like something Dennis the menaces dad would have to keep his slippers in. 😂 nice work
The Bread Spinner is nominated for the best innovation of 2022.
Nice one , great ending 😂😂😂
Lol the end ...Vince that's funny
"This is one of the weirdest things I am going todo on my channel" - Goes and does a whole Rolls Royce
I'm glad you started using your loaf at the end 😆 👍
Love the bit at the end.
I wish to see the circuit board and the electrical magnetic inside it i'm very curious if you please can do disassembly video that would be great 😃😃
Reminds me of those levitating world globes you can purchase, nice fix Vince. Edit now theres something she who should not be named could be made to do , a floating smart speaker powered by a close field power supply.
Slippers from M&S? I’ve got a pair just like those.
That last few minutes had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣🤣
at the end, was pretty funny tho 🤣
Lol i like that he put his old slippers in the thumbnail just to troll people that's funny 😂😂😂😂
Lol that last bit with the butter ! 😅
I'm here for the dirty slipper and I can confidently say I was not disappointed.
It would be an interesting to make a levitating Bluetooth speaker out of that thing
Nice Job Vince. Good Job it wasn't made by Apple 5 different screws and 3 tubs of glue to get it open !!!!!
You didn't notice line up arrows, time for specsavers 🤣🤣🤣
The noise not the fain turning on?
Yes it is the fan but also when the trainers/bread etc. is in the perfect place it creates a little buzzing noise and also feels different. The camera mic didn't pick up the difference in noise unfortunately 👍
Will you keep this or sell it
Lovely slipper, Vince. The question is where is the other one?!
A bit of a strange product really. But I could see it in major trainer high street retailer.
What on earth is that?! Great video Vince when are you going to try and fix your slippers?🤣
You're braver than me sticking a Powerful Magnet like that next to a Nintendo Switch etc... 😂
🤣👍
Could you do more old handheld LCD game (repair) videos?
In those RGB lightstrip designs the Arrows should line up as that is the positive rail... edit you noticed :)
I did not see the Slipper in the Thumbnail at first XD just a new My Mate VINCE Clip :D
Everybody else that owned it, please be the power supply. Lol
‘Maybe I should read the instructions’. Vince, hand in your Man Card. 😂😂
"Blue mat time" - I think it must be the Vince battle cry.
😂👍
The arrow is typically 12v or 5v + on led strips I have encountered in PC building.
I've got a 3 year old ring doorbell 1 that stopped working. There's no light and it's not charging. It's getting hot around the charging port when the charger is plugged in. I would like to send it to you if you're interested. I've already bought a new one so I don't want it back.
What I find most hilarious is I didn't even notice the thumbnail or the old house shoe.
Oh brits, I love your humour! 😁👍
You find the oddest things. So interesting. :)
i didnt know this was a thing, nor do i have a use for it, but i NEED it haha
Get one of those rubber chickens and stick it in it, lol. Or maybe an earth globe!
good job mate.
I can just imagine the kids at school, the Mrs at work, and you going around the house to see what stuff you can levitate 🤣.
not a bad job if you ask me lol

Are you going to resume your competition with other TH-camrs again this year....that was quite fun
I think I seen something similar on Unbox Therapy's channel A while back.
Think it was called something like Drop Labs or something I can't remember.

I would love to have that thing. I'd make a nicer and little bigger frame for it, and get a nice globe to levitate and spin in it.
Your slippers are in better shape than mine. LOL.
