TransformerRobot Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I've seen it done with a small frog. How could it be done with a human being (If at all plausible)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 It would be possible, you just need a bigger magnet, which would be expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visionary Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 It would probably be very very expensive. You're better off putting a human with a diamagnetic material, or a superconductor and do some awesome things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enthalpy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 As humans also contain much of diamagnetic water, it would work - BUT it's a matter of size and power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism (the frog) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation#Diamagnetism www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FvWtEdY4sE(water free surface deformed by a permanent magnet) For the frog, they had 16T... JPL levitated mice later. All these are in the many-MW area, which explains why teams choose small objects or beings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
