- Hey everyone! In this video I show you all how to make your very own amazing Levitron hovering spinning top at home. This experiment is very hard to get right, and takes a lot of patience, but the end results are very pleasing, and you can even impress your friends! I advise you to buy your big base ring magnet, not online, but get it from a large broken speaker (Which is where I got mine from) or a microwave, etc...
I hope you enjoyed watching this video, and be sure to give this experiment a try :)

My daughter is attempting this as a science project soon. Your video has been more than helpful. Thank you for the excellent work. Great job
Thanks a lot for your kind comment! Best of luck with your daughter's science project!
An update on your daughter's project would be most appreciated Sylvia! Please let us know how it turned out
@@danwright39 it was the most tedious project ever. It took weeks and weeks of long grueling hours trying to get it to work. But finally, 2 days before it was due, it worked. 😀But I could have kicked myself for letting her choose such a task. But she won 2nd prize in the middle school division.
@@Zaradikaresells nice job
so lucky she has this as a project, i’m a physicist and i used to do stuff like this all the time
The cuts on his arms indicate how much time and effort he puts towards his work respect to you brother
Your support is much appreciated, cheers! ✌🏻
@@MaxImagination anytime man
@@MaxImagination by the way can i please ask the name of the song at 0:12 seconds
Cuts??
Finally , someone who explains what they are doing as they do it and begins with the materials needed!!! thank you young sir. You should be teaching professors on how to explicate !! lol
Haha, thank you for your comment!
Awesome instructions! I like your creative weighting suggestions and how straightforward you made everything. Including the painful adjustment process is very affirming too. XD
I appreciate that! I aim to make things easier for everyone with each of my tutorials. If you ever get stuck on an issue, feel free to post a new comment highlighting what is wrong. Cheers!
Dude this is a very cool and the easiest demonstration of this in the ENTIRE internet without a doubt !
Thanks for your comment!
Foi o melhor é bem explicado
I appreciate that You included Your failed attempts. Great video
Yes, including such things in the video prove that this phenomenon is hard to achieve, but possible. Thank you! :)
@@MaxImagination Well said! Keep it up
Man I freaking love magnetic levitation
Little dude, I wish you much success in life!! Thanks for this amazing video and the excellent tutorial! This is so so so much better than the crap videos people are making nowadays just as clickbait. SO INFURIATING! Keep up the great work!!
Glad you liked it! I despise of those kinds of videos circulating the internet due to being time wasters, so I'm happy to stick to what's real when it comes to making my videos. Many thanks for your kind comment! Cheers!
I appreciate that You included Your failed attempts. Great video thanks for sharing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching! Cheers :)
@@MaxImagination Cheers :)
in one of the temples in India we have this type of tech
shivling (a cylindrical structure) used to rotate like this using magnets
but the twist is it was built probably 2000 years back and massive size
Keep dreaming
@@morkyporky8890 🤣haha what u want west validation
@@morkyporky8890 it true man ... somnath India there is a flying shivling based on this tech some what 3000 years ago.
isso foi o máximo, eu já tentei e nunca consegui fazer isso. parabéns
Obrigado por assistir!
Espero que eventualmente você consiga fazer seu spinner levitar como o meu, ou ainda melhor.
he even got the Dave Hax “Pretty cool, huh” in there
:DD
I'm doing it for my school science fair!!!!!!!!! Thankyou very much
My pleasure... That's great to hear you've found my video helpful!
This is how the earth is station with presice accuracy that that God said it's foundation will never move meaning of it axis drifted off its course. Its magnetic field because the earth is full of magnet. That how the earth spins around to get the seasons. It hangs on nothing. Which is magnetic. Excellent physics explained. Good job there young feller .
Thanks for your comment and insight 👍
No
This is so satisfying
It was invented in India thousands of years even befor the khew the theory of magnetism. Refer to the levitating Shiva lingam
@@joydeepmukherjee689 So me some real examples 😗
Did that in the 70's. Very retro, but
Still has not lost it's coolness. MIT U is perfecting lev-memory as we speak. More into end of interface radical atom tech these days.
Still, c o o l.
That's pretty cool! You seemed to be way ahead from back then. What type of levitation technology are you referring to (what is the product?), could you please send a link? Thx
Ha, as soon as the video started I was like, "Trippy!"
It's just so well explained and done.
Happy to hear! Thanks a lot :)
This was aware by Indians long back
They have used it in some anicent temples
To levitate shivling
I seen some video in utube
This is also well done
Yes, quite the unique phenomenon. I wish I knew about it earlier!
Thanks for your comment! :)
Wow creative, you deserve 100 000 million subscribers, and you win with the arm of the mind, I love you 🤗🤗
Thank you so much for your kind, sweet words!
How long does it spin?
That can totally depend on how fine tuned the Levitron setup gets... With mine, I get it to hover for 1-2 minutes.
Thanks Max :) I made a Quantum Spin game using tops and D&D dice. The Levitron will be the perfect spin timer for every move :))
Glad to hear you found my video helpful 🙂

Thank you too!
I think in a weird way this is how ufos fly
@@cincitytv9747 It is Bob Lazar mentioned it, but the thing that confuses me is how to get the entire thing to float above ground, if this was truly possible you’d only need a steering wheel, brakes, and nitrous.
Alien technology 😀👍
He did a great job
Thank you! 😊
I am using it for school great vid! 👌
Thanks for your comment. Good luck!
Beautiful sharing👍
Thanks for your comment!
This is how our earth works too with a north and South Pole and magnetic fields. We are spinning in dead space but eventually scientists think we will stop spinning in 7.9 billion years. Pretty crazy how science works and can explain a lot of things. But now you’ll think I’m nuts when I tell you the earth is hollow just like that ring magnet 😘. One day you’ll all see
What evidence do you have to prove what you are trying to say?
@@MaxImagination meet me in Antarctica and I’ll take you on an expedition unlike any other.
@@andrewebbinger7207 I don't reject this theory, you COULD be right...
This is the same technique that was used in Somnath Temple
Yes! Studying it more, it's an interesting history behind the ancient sequence of events that occurred with the temple.
Great video!!!, I was just wondering if you have seen anyone in the comments having success using the given magnets in the description. I have a pair of the ferrite ring magnets, but I think that they are too small. The top diameter is smaller than the ring magnet’s inner diameter but it seems that since the inner diameter and the top’s diameter are very close in length that the top won’t spin on the surface I have it on. This may be confusing, but I just need to know if there has been success with your given magnets or I could just keep using the ones I have. Thanks
Thank you! As long as the top magnet's outer diameter is the same or smaller than the base ferrite ring magnet's inner diameter, you're on the right track. I have had other people come to me saying they have succeeded with the materials and guidance from me. Cheers and best of luck with your levitron!
If you need a magnet go for a speaker cos it's easier than taking apart a microwave. If you do take a magnet from a MW be careful not to break the ceramic bits on the end of the magnetron (the bit that makes the actual microwaves) because they are toxic and horrible and can cause sickness. Watch a microwave teardown vid to learn how.
If you go for a speaker magnet be careful not to break the magnet while taking it out. It's easily done.
And remember, magnets are FUN.
Hi, yep, speakers are usually the preferred option when it comes to seeking for a large ferrite magnet.
I have a microwave magnetron which contains a magnet, though now I may not consider opening one up just to get a magnet. Safety first!
@@MaxImagination Please revise your text and remove microwaves, because of magnetorns but also there are big condensates that may kill you at an instant ....
@@fairytalesaudiobooksforchi9995 Good point. That's something I missed to mention about microwaves... Not really safe machines! :/
Hi max I am a big fan of you I love your project

Great, excellent, wonderfull!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks!
Make the top piece perfectly balanced made on a lathe.
Then spin it in a vacuum chamber, suck all the air out and theoretically it should spin almost forever minus the incomplete vacuum wich is impossible to make a perfect vacuum. Maybe some other forces too will slow it down that I don't know of.
Good tip! The main piece with the rounded bottom could be made out of brass or another non-magnetic metal and is the piece where all the magnet and washers slide onto.
nice video
Hay thanks you for sharing your video, been trying to make a spinning top. Very informative. 👍🏾
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind comment :)
Coolest science toy ever
Does the magnet have to be neodymium magnet?can i use small ferrite magnet ?
I have only seen people succeed doing this using a Neodymium magnet for the top as it has the necessary power to keep itself up. You should and most likely can only use a Neodymium magnet for the spinning top.
great content! would be good to know the dimensions of the magnet as well as the mass of the spinning part. Maybe this way a ratio can be estimated
The dimensions of the base ring mangnet are: 10x2cm, with a ~4cm hole diameter.
The top ring magnet's dimensions: 24x5mm with a 4mm hole
Hope you can get an idea on the dimension ratios.
Thanks for watching! ✌😊
@@MaxImagination where can I find all the supplies you used because I'm doing this as a science project and nothing I have is working right
@@thesinuro Hi, sorry to hear that!
I got the base ring magnet from a large speaker, smaller spinning top magnet from Amazon.com, and the rest of the parts are all from basic household materials, such as a pencil, washers etc...
@Max Imagination, do you have the exact link to the magnet found on Amazon?
Just get yourself a microwave magnet they are all exactly the same size you know what the rest is so get to work brother
Hi there! Really wanted to try and make this. Can you please share where to get the spacers as shown in video? Looks like there were 2 different kinds you used for spacers. And the red bearing covers. Are those the same as the washers? The measurements of each material you used? Thank you so much!
Hi there. The washers you may need will most likely vary, it depends on how strong of a magnetic repulsion you're getting. Choose something rather light, such as aluminum or tin washers.
Also, the biggest and bottom washer is a tambourine disc.
Cheers!
The video is cool
Cheers! ✌
This also means that we have energy associated with these magnets as it spins and levitates.
The levitation phenomenon leans more to being magnetic suspension rather than levitation, as I've learned from a viewer. The magnetic levitating spinning top is given kinetic energy from my hand to spinning on a fixed floating space (the opposing magnetic force from the base magnet. The energy of this levitron concept is no different than spinning a top on a solid, flat surface. This phenomenon does not produce free energy.
Yes
In India🇮🇳 thousands of years ago same technic have used in Somnath Temple for Lord Shiva lingam but it destroyed by invender Muhammad Ghazni .
Yes jai somnath ji ❤️
yes, our ancient technology was advance compared to today, like we already discovered the aeroplanes (pushpak vimaan) and many more scientific tech
Also British
Nailed it
Thanks! :D
very interesting! eventhough this vid been 2 years passed
Glad you enjoyed it! ;)
You give so much knowledge thanks
So glad to hear that! Thanks! 😊
Is it two magnet's. Which direction are poles. Great video young man.
Whether the magnets face North-to-North or South-to-South, as long as they face each other with like poles, you will be headed in the right direction with this experiment. Thanks for your comment!
really amazing.
Thanks a lot!
Je pense qu'il faudrait associer cette"technologie" avec celle du moteur magnétique dit " a énergie libre" on éviterait les frottements et les problèmes de surchauffe et de vibrations ou encore mieux en utilisant la lévitation quantique mais dans ce cas il faut refroidir le supra conducteur et donc produire de l'hydrogène liquide ce qui va demander de l'énergie
What are the uses of magneric lavitation
Magnetic suspension is used in a more controlled and actuated way such as in modern Maglev trains.
Thnks for replying the question
And also for making video such well explained.
@@hasinchoughule5783 Hi. Thanks for your comment! Cheers! ✌🏻
you are genius
Thanks for you comment! :)
So amazing experiment
Thank you! :)
Im sure thats how ufo works

Will it lift up by itself
If you place the ring magnet on a foam plate (small plate) floating in a pot of water it will self level once the water settles your top shouldn’t have any problems
Interesting suggestion... Have this been proven to work?
@@MaxImagination I haven’t tried it in practice however water leveling is a proven method that will work in a puddle or in a tube of any length
So theoretically it should work
I would worry about the floating not remaining solid but changing when any downward and moving force applied to it. Maybe it would have a damping effect and help tho.
Great Idea friend 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 😀✌
Super, Keep going.
Good video. I think the l spinning top stopped because of air resistance. If the top was in a vacuum it would spin forever.
Hi there, thanks for watching! As this is not directly related to free energy, the top would definitely spin longer in a vacuum, but not forever due to opposing eddy flux current from the magnetic field.
Nice work
I think my magnet is too strong because it doesn't even want to spin but when I spin it on another surface it spins just fine
If you have a stronger magnet, maybe you just need to spin it from up higher above the base magnet.
Da pra fazer uma mini balançar tambem
Great video! I am trying this for a project. I have one question. Why should the diameter of the magnet in the spinning top be smaller than that of the base?
Hi, Rein. Thanks for your comment! The hole in the top magnet must be small to suit the diameter of the 4mm wooden rod.
A better way to rephrase what you meant is the Inner diameter of the base magnet must be a bit larger than the Outer diameter of the top magnet as this is the physical aspect that keeps the spinning top hovering in place, creating the magnetic "donut effect". Same as a golf ball rolls into a hole larger than its diameter with ease rather than rolling over the hole. Cheers.
Cool project
Excellent job
Thank you! Cheers!
Magnet are 😎 🆒️ 😎 😊😊
So cool :)
Thanks! :)
Awesome video... not exactly what I was looking for but close enough
Красава че :) теперь надо думать, как зафиксировать по бокам, хотя бы слегка
Спасибо! Это тоже можно добавить в будущую версию левитрона. 🙂
@@MaxImagination давай, мы верим в тебя!
Основной упор сделай на времени бесперебойной работы (чем дольше, тем лучше) и сколько оборотов делает за час, день или может быть неделю. Удачи :)!
Super video nice
Thanks for watching!
it mean father solid floor straight tils are best! :)
I am just wondering, would this work if I replace the round ferrite magnet with several round ones, placed in a circle?
This could work on a smaller scale, but you'd need to get your angles 100% right, a difficult task. I'd advise it's better to simply take one base ring magnet and use that.
Excellent
Thanks!

Hey! So the wooden stick you have is 5mm diameter, so the neodymium magnet should be 5mm of diameter too, right?
Hey! The inner hole diameter should match (5mm), yes.
fantastic work and show. make more such movies
Thanks a lot! :D
4:49 this phenomenon was discovered by Indians in 3 century (in somnath temple gujrat) the flying shivling
Nice nice
Nice bhai
Really amazing thank you for sharing.
Perfect thanks for sharing your story with us
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks😊
Question. Could you put this on a hat and make a ring for the top? Make a floating halo hat?
Not possible, unless your head is 100% stable and level at all times 😂
Most viewed video bro 👌👌
Super
Super!

Great work Sir, please Sir is it possible to levitate two spin top at the same time ?
Please Sir could you try it?
Thank you. No, it is not possible, logically.
@@MaxImagination please Sir, is there anything impossible in physics with research?
1700 AD? then here it comes "somnath temple".😂😂😂
Konark temple*
why did you have the bolt leveling platform in the first half but then later not used at all, and then what is up with the latge ring mag just sitting on the tiles?
The large ring was used to level the base magnet when I wasn't using the leveling platform, this was done mostly for looks.
The lesson about magnetic levitating bearings.
Good
Im planning the delorean time machine hotwheels.. i dont know if it works
Well, best of luck!
Max super 🤩
I appreciate it! :)
What is the cost of experiment
The cost may vary quite a bit depending on what you may already have and what you don't have.
I'd say the experiment's parts can be obtained for $5-10 including the small package of neodymium magnets you need to buy (assuming you get the base magnet for free from the back of a speaker).
