    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 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.

  • @ShoeFinderMan
    @ShoeFinderMan ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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.

  • @tiporari
    @tiporari 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.
