Impossible Magnet?! Magnets Can't Do That ! ! !

Impossible Magnet?! Magnets Can’t Do That!!!

Wait what? Magnets don’t work this way!  This impossible magnet locks another magnet in space, trapping it from going up or down.  It also repels both the north and south poles of another magnet.

While this magnetic configuration may seem impossible its not.  A cool diy magnetic toy but the principle illustrated has many real world applications which will likely been seen in the near future.

Subscribe and look for the upcoming “How To” video on how we made this impossible magnetic levitator.

So is Earnshaw’s Theorem wrong?

Not in this example because the rod is a contact point.

In the near future a device will seemingly defy Earnshaw’s Theorem and the theorem will be reinterpreted to account for the exception.  Similar to how the “Levitron” was considered impossible.
