Brilliant.

Oh thye huge manatee!:(

rsta

lol, how much spare time did you have to make that up!

JC 2K3

Didn't make it myself, just passing it on

rsta

Oh! well v. good anyways

I seen a funny one ages ago, but it involved breasts.

Toast always lands buttered side down? Really?

Heres a great show, found a clip of it online and I saw the episode a few days ago. The amount of bread they use! Clickage!

This is for real

"Diamagnetic levitation was first demonstrated as long ago as in 1939 when small beads of graphite and bismuth were levitated in an electromagnet"

A little frog (alive !) and a water ball levitate inside a Ø32mm vertical bore of a Bitter solenoid in a magnetic field of about 16 Tesla at the Nijmegen High Field Magnet Laboratory.

A diamagnetic substance is one whose atoms have no permanent magnetic dipole moment. When an external magnetic field is applied to a diamagnetic substance such as bismuth or silver a weak magnetic dipole moment is induced in the direction opposite the applied field. All materials are actually diamagnetic, in that a weak repulsive force is generated by in a magnetic field by the current of the orbiting electron. Some materials, however, have stronger paramagnetic qualities that overcome their natural diamagnetic qualities. These paramagnetic materials, such as iron and nickel, have unpaired electrons.

Bismuth
Mercury
Silver
Carbon
Lead
Copper

and water

why do i keep hearing the fecking crazy frog ring tone every time i look at that video!, that said they have, simply have to build a human sized one of those tubes they'd make millions at carnivals

Wouldn't call cutting off one of its legs, and part of another, and spinning it in water- levitation.

16 Tesla

:eek: Totally impractical so?

Pulse magnets come in two forms: destructive and non-destructive. Non-destructive pulse magnets can generate a magnet field pulse as high as 70 Tesla. The average life span of a non-destructive magnet is 500 to 800 pulses. Destructive pulse magnets, as their name implies, are violently ripped apart by the massive stress placed on them when they are switched on. To reach field in excess of 100 Tesla researches set up explosives around the magnet that detonate as the magnet is powered. The explosion compresses the magnetic field allowing scientists to attain fields as high as 1,000 Tesla for a split second.

Pff, who ever tried to recreate the joke messed it up. Its a perpetual motion machine, not antigravity...

Idiots...
