No pseudo science, In today's episode, we learn how to make an electro magnetic levitation device by using an Infra Red diode, and a photo transistor to detect where the object is, and set the state of the magnet accordingly. Thanks guys! 👍🏻

You should try levitate object using sound, sound is the different between high pressure and low pressure air, if the pressure is low enough, objects could get suck in there. Also, when I clicked on this video, it said 3 comments but I don't see any comment

The electromagnet heat can be reduced by eliminating diode from your electronic device. The diode function seems to be eliminate high voltage of the electromagnet. The best it would be to use simple electronic device based on hall effect not infrared diode.

You are great at explaining things. It would be great if you could discuss the theory of operation of the circuits you build in more detail. You could do a second video for each of these "make it yourself" videos and even possibly place on a second channel. That way you can still make these videos for those that just want to build and go into some more detail on the second video for those that want to understand the electronics used. Either way, I enjoy this channel!

I understand why but just found it funny how your showing a simple picture with 2 leds and like 2 lines and you say, it's just that simple. Then like the VERY NEXT frame you show the actual schematic that, at first glance, looks WAY more complicated than..."that simple" lol keep up the great work!

Hey there! May I ask how you first got into the depths of electricity and circuits. I'd very much like to have the knowledge you do, and perhaps I'd obtain them as I progress in physics classes. However, I am too curious and too impatient to wait for my school to teach me. I look at the circuit diagrams with all those transistors, resistors, diodes and other components that I've never heard of and I wonder how you are able to not conceive but draw them. I understand the concepts of your projects, so not being able to understand the circuits is so infuriating. Also keep up the good work!

You said "When wrapping wire you should bring it down and then wind up again because if you wind back down in the opposite direction it'll actually make it weaker." is that really true? which physics rules does that come from? How much efficiency do you lose without doing that? Great video btw!

@michaelwpannekoek 7 жыл бұрын

5:25 As long as you keep winding clockwise, (or anticlockwise) shouldn't the electromagnet continue to strengthen not weaken when you wind backwards?

@Slowly_Going_Mad 4 жыл бұрын

With a resonant timer circuit odds are you would need to manually tune it. This kind of tunes it's self in a sense. It may be possible to replace the optical components with a metal detector though.

Just out of curiosity, why not use an arduino for this? You could accomplish the same thing with relatively simple code, mosfet, resistor and ir sensor. Awesome job though!

@bevkcan 7 жыл бұрын

Actually winding back and forth wouldn't counteract itself and also be more efficient use of wiring. The important thing is the direction of current flowing(clockwise/counterclockwise around symmetry axis), which doesn't change when winding back and forth.

@walterbunn280 7 жыл бұрын

You can get magnet wire as fine as 46 gauge on Ebay. I can't speak to whether it's actually 46 gauge because it's so fine it's beyond my digital caliper's ability to measure, but it is thinner than a human hair. Finer wire equals out to more turns, but you might have to use a different voltage, since the finer wire can't carry the same number of amps.

@andrewlorona7360 7 жыл бұрын

Finer wire means more resistance as well, but you could get around that by putting many wires in parallel. So you end up with more turns and more current carrying capacity, as well as a lower voltage power supply that is necessary.
