Video showing Hans and Benny at the YoYoFactory and doing the new trick ROOT BEER FLOAT where the yo-yo floats in mid air! Filmed in Arizona. Movie by Higby.
It is called coolant. it is an oil that they put in the tool and part so the cuts are smoother, extend the life of the tool, and to cool the part down.
id say the root beer float is done by spinning the yo-yo so fast that it creates something like a cushion of air between it and the floor. that ways it will float.
If you look at the video, he only shows his left hand. I think his right hand id directly below the yoyo moving around. The hubstack was replaced with a magnet.
See :58 and 1:02 It is an alum or steel with some magnetic rings added. Bottom line it is magnets repelling each other. It does take some skill to maintain the balance. Very cool. At :58 his other arm is following the yoyo as it floats away from him. 1:02 it drops as his hand momentarily breaks the magnet field. Cool stuff though.
there is a fan underneath the yoyo. You can tell because he passes his had really quick underneath and when he does the yoyo drops a little. that is also why he only has to remove his top finger for it to lift
They use Machines called Lathes. They spin a pice of round stock and touch a tool to it to shave down the stock into what ever you want in this case it is a yoyo. The Lathes they use are called CNC lathes. They make a program and upload it to the CNC and it machines the part they want by its self.
You guys might wanna look in to magic tricks.. there is a prop called the tarantula (youtube it) and the effect created in this video might as well be done with something similar.
I'm just gonna assume its a tool in magic called a loop, an almost invisible rubber band like piece of elastic.The G5 would be balancing on the loop. I can tell everyone now its not a fan,if look you can see that his hand goes off screen when he does the trick. However even if I'm wrong part of the fun is not knowing once you know how a trick is done it kind of takes the fun out of it.
the yoyo is spining in the air thanks to inertial forces. He spins the yoyo with big force and thanks to that it's spining in the air. (sory for the spelling I am Bulgarian).
@Jalehjoon Well the yo-yos in this video do not stick to a magnet, they are aluminum. You would need one made out of steel or something, so I'm not sure.
also the reason that works with a ping pong ball is because of its shape. the air can flow easily around a sphere on all sides so it hovers in the stream. a yoyo is not the right shape you see...
They are selling to retailers though at half the price people are buying them for and it is not cheap to make these, it has nothing to do with rare with cost of materials. Besides, they have led the market with affordable aluminum metal yo-yos.
I call hax on the 'root beer float' trick. (let's see it at a contest) It's probably just a more sophisticated version of those toys you see that can 'levitate' a spinning top using magnets. Most yoyos are aluminum however, but some bearings are steel which is magnetic. (stainless steel isn't) Anyway, great video.
and btw everything has magnetic properties just certain things require a more powerful magnet Aluminum can be attracted but only with a high power electro magnet
Just because magnets aren't attracted to aluminum doesn't mean aluminum doesn't react to magnets. It wouldn't even require an electromagnet to get the aluminum to react. Do a Google search of Lenz's Law in relation to aluminum. At rest, aluminum isn't affected by a magnet, but while moving (yo-yo spinning) the magnet would repel the aluminum. Not saying that is the solution, but the aluminum could very well be affected by a magnet.
I want to see the inside of the yoyo. what is making it give off thrust it's like a little jet turbine that is really cool. they could probably make one that has so much thrust it flies up into the air like a ufo.
@yoyohigby i find it highly unlikely that a trick to make a object float isnt involved with a propulsion from a fan, magnetics or just some clear string
correct me if im wrong, but isnt a tarantula where you have an item tied on a thin string to your shirt? Because this is traveling between people, and the wait of a yoyo would have a very obvious effect ona shirt...
I remember when Yo-Hans and Kate Miller used to go around to all the malls in Arizona and do demos at Proyo kiosk stands. I had no idea he was still messing around with yoyo's. That's crazy he is still making the best yoyo's

О, помните то чудное время, когда детей интересовали трюки с йо-йо, а не тик ток и прочий ужас? Sweet time...
Nice floating trick,
I'm going to buy a can of compressed air and try it myself, hopefully it has enough pressure....
If you look at the video, he only shows his left hand. I think his right hand id directly below the yoyo moving around. The hubstack was replaced with a magnet.
Man, i wanna work there!!
Root beer float was sick. lol

i find the manufacturing process really intresting

It's been almost 4 years. Tell us already!!!!!
you're obviously disrupting airflow with your hand, so that's a light yoyo and a neat fan :)
just a magic yoyo
This was a great video.

Yeah. Pull start and let it go sideways. It really works

It plays very floaty
@Jalehjoon Well the yo-yos in this video do not stick to a magnet, they are aluminum. You would need one made out of steel or something, so I'm not sure.
You are right! It is NOT floting, it is FLOATING!
i think the power of the yoy is makeing the air spin so it floats (my thoughts)
guys it is a magnet well electro magnet i think its the same concept as those floating magnet tops (search youtube theres vids of how they work)
@logdogfrog yes, aircraft aluminium is famed for its anti-gravity properties.
magnet of some sort
It's a steel yoyo that floats using magnets.
los yo-yos yoyofactory etan to wapos!
also the reason that works with a ping pong ball is because of its shape. the air can flow easily around a sphere on all sides so it hovers in the stream. a yoyo is not the right shape you see...
@NikFromNYC Sounds cool! No magnets at all were used in this though.
They are selling to retailers though at half the price people are buying them for and it is not cheap to make these, it has nothing to do with rare with cost of materials. Besides, they have led the market with affordable aluminum metal yo-yos.
The floating one is a grey G5+ and the one being made is the 401sd.
how a yo yo is born:
open door. close door. take cigarrette. smoke said cigarrette.
you have a new yo yo!
Hes using loops which are strings that can strech up to 5 times there size and they transparent.
Haha someone on the inside told me it is indeed, a fan.
OOOOOH!!!! so SWEET!!!

Most yoyos are aluminum however, but some bearings are steel which is magnetic. (stainless steel isn't)
Anyway, great video.
omg hows the root beer float done like so cool
Did anybody figure out how the g5 floats yet????
There's a wind blowing machine undereath
G5+ no longer available but the Superstar is close and retails for around $110
@PlumpkinPied Nope, the yo-yo is made from Aircraft Aluminum which does not respond to magnets. Stock grey G5+
notice the all metal yoyo its magnetic field there was the same thing on mythbusters
401sd prototype and that is the yo-yo they were working on and machining the day I filmed.
Fishing line!
@noper12345 I actually don't know, but it's easy to tell there's magnets because it vibrates up and down
and btw everything has magnetic properties just certain things require a more powerful magnet Aluminum can be attracted but only with a high power electro magnet
shop vac with the blower facing up... just one way it could work... a leaf blower would work too
Cool Tricks
I don't think they are out yet.
i think its air shooting up too
it looks likes he's holding something under the yoyo with his right hand when the yoyo moves his arm moves under it
I think its hard to believe about a floating yoyo.
@noper12345 It's a magnet trick, the 2 magnets are opposing so it floats
@sajkam5 Not sure but it is a G5+ used in the video.
idk why this video makes me emotional. still lmao

its a giant fan below the camera.
i like yo-yo tricks o---------O
Pretty obvious that there's a fan under it (much like the levitating ping-pong ball trick) because of the swiping hand @ 1:05.
maybe because there is air blowing from underneath it? dunno
The black and white one is a speed dial.
i know they use lathes. it seems they use water to cool it. i know most modders use the TAIG lathe
hey this song is in wrc 2.
CORRECT!
its in ur other hand thats why ur hand keeps folwing the yoyo below
Invisible threads maybe?
That "guy" is Benny McPhee!
its just a yoyo floating over an electrically charged magnet....
im pretty sure its wind
theres a string on the top hubstack
@vicman7usa It is not magnets, sorry! This is a stock G5+ which is aluminum and is not affected by Magnetism.
It acts like a helicopter with slated ridges on the side
I want to see the inside of the yoyo. what is making it give off thrust it's like a little jet turbine that is really cool. they could probably make one that has so much thrust it flies up into the air like a ufo.
@yoyohigby i find it highly unlikely that a trick to make a object float isnt involved with a propulsion from a fan, magnetics or just some clear string
its magnets!!!
1) put a fan under an 888.
2) watch it fly.
@yoyohigby i know it has to do with the room you are in to do the root beer float
Its not a fan. Its a magnet. Your assuming the g5 is aluminum. Kind of like the floating pen trick.
The Chemical Brothers doing Star Guitar
I'm also wondering how the yoyo is floating...
i saw string lifting it
YES!
just a levatating magnetic yoyo that is spinning to act as a gyroscope....
magicians string, thats how it floats
@YoyoJordan1 G5+ grey stock!
im pretty sure its magnets
so HOW!?
Looks like crazy fun john!
And I love the ole timey factory bits in there aswell.
@Koolkid736 g5 is better for 1a while 888 was designed as a 5a yoyo but the hectic conquers all
simple guys , do it yourself and try.
I'm not totally sure what town it was in. But near Gilbert I think.
cool!!!
no its a magnet
@OcelotPwns Well, not all YYF are made in China but yes this is filmed in AZ.
correct me if im wrong, but isnt a tarantula where you have an item tied on a thin string to your shirt? Because this is traveling between people, and the wait of a yoyo would have a very obvious effect ona shirt...
I remember when Yo-Hans and Kate Miller used to go around to all the malls in Arizona and do demos at Proyo kiosk stands. I had no idea he was still messing around with yoyo's. That's crazy he is still making the best yoyo's
Star Gutair by Chem. Bros.
omg is that hydra?
did you spot the yoyo names at the start it says g5 and on the warning sign it says severe lol
so this was the G5 that was floating?
