Is this flashing spinning Lego thingy floating in thin air? Well… sort of! Let’s see how it works.
If you want to make your own levitating fidget gadget, all you’ll need is some Lego, and some countersunk neodymium magnets. It takes a little balancing, but ultimately, these are relatively easy to make.

Two things, this channel is super underrated and deserves more subscribers, and secondly, could you provide a link to the lights if they weren’t homemade.
Thanks, really appreciate it! I had a quick look, but I can't seem to find them anymore. I'm pretty sure I got them on amazon a while ago - worth looking there or on AliExpress
This video will blow up soon
Excited some folks seem to like it 😁
Beautiful!
Thanks v much!
Great video James 👍
Thanks, appreciate it 😁
Is is cool af idk how this guy doesn't have more subs
Haha big thanks 😁
congrats on 30 subs
Thanks, appreciate it!
Could you possibly use this to spin the crank on a Lego generator?
It probably wouldn't produce much, but it might be a neat idea to increase total overall output from the generator by having something continuously spinning it.
You could indeed. Though anything with a significant power draw would produce quite a bit of drag. Probably fine for some low powered LEDs though. Tom Stanton made a beautiful levitating flywheel generator like this
Hm nice nice. One thing that could make it look nicer, maybe, is to use tension on some string on right instead of drilling into liftarms? :) could probably use friction-less pin to hook up string to some fixed hole, and then it's just a matter of attaching it sensibly to spinners axle. if string is thin/and or transparent, could be almost invisible!
That's actually a fantastic idea - might reduce a bit of friction too. Like you said, maybe some thin fishing line would make it almost invisible! Cheers for the idea - I'll definitely give it a try as there's an upgraded version of this I'll be building soon.
how do u not hwave more subs?
Haha thanks, maybe someday!
wow cool!
❤️
the algorithm has chosen you!
I've no idea how any of this works 😅 But it's exciting to see
Def blowing up!
❤️🤞
try 4-point contained maglev axle, with two end cap plate maglevs and two radial tube bearing maglevs to keep it same angle
thats same as trying to balance something on top of a hill, when its trying to roll down, do it better
I think I understand what you mean .. it sounds challenging, but I'll play with it and see just how bad it is
@@JamiesBrickJams well its just stable maglev
@@JamiesBrickJams simplest form of stable maglev is vertical stick
Where did you buy those magnets from?
Hey, I just got them on Amazon. Something like these should work well: amzn.eu/d/1EAotBw
Where did you find those led bricks?
I think I found them on Amazon a while ago (pretty sure they're not real 'Lego')
Where do you order magnets from?
Hey, most of mine are from Amazon, but some are from AliExpress when I don't care how long shipping will take
Why are these videos recommended now?
Insta sub!
Big thanks for joining 😁
