How much does this thing weigh?-Well, try to pick it up.-Okay.Alright.-Be nice to it-105 lbs -105 lbs-It consists of four motors connected up to these spinning magnet arraysand if you spin these fast enough it will actually levitate.-That's correct.-Let's see if we can do itReady?Let's fire it up-It's lifting.-Okay, it's flying now.-Is it?-Yeah, definitely.-Now it is so easy to just move aroundThat's amazing.-Give it a push. Like, it's got some real--Wow.It can carry some weight, eh? -Yeah-That is amazing.So how does it work?Well, it's similar to how a magnet falling through a pipe is slowed downAnytime a conductor experiences a changing magnetic fieldelectric currents are induced in it which create a m...
