In this episode we show you how to create your own pair of Hover shoes which will allow you to “float” over any predominantly metal base. In the video we use the garage since it has metal beams embedded in the concrete but you could do this wherever you find a strong metal flooring.
You need:
1. Soldering Iron
2. Solder
3. Wire
4. Shoes
5. 50 lb lift magnets
6. 2 9v batteries
7. Glue Gun
The 9v battery will turn the standard magnet into an electro-magnet giving it more lift for a small duration of time.
Enjoy!

cleary fake, as you will need another magnet underneath the shoes …

its clear at the end that he hung himself

yeah! and thats why this is made to lift a smaller amount of mass….like you just contrradicted yourself!! you try it and see if it works or not!! you dind’t and your acting like you’ve invented it….

You Make The Opposite Parts South To North So IT Unatracts!

best bullshit ever!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
ahh…if only magnets that small could support a 100+lb man.
November 19th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
LMAO - this is HILARIOUS!!
Wire the switch directly across the terminals so when you flip it, the wires smoke and burn up.
I wonder how many morons will actually try this.

You are extremely stupid. They aren’t repelling the metal, they are attracting it. But since the magnets are on the same axis (both on the shoe) they repel each other, one lifting higher than the other, and also forcing the other to lift.

lmao bullshit haha
November 29th, 2008 at 3:41 am
it worked!!! I was so cool
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:00 am
are u retarted?
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:42 pm
REVERSE THE POLARITY? And you’re calling ME stupid?
Hey idiot…if it were actually possible to do this, WHICH IT ISN’T they’d have already used this technology to build more efficient transportation. And don’t say MAGLEV trains cause they use far more energy to lift far more mass.
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:14 pm
dont say its fake unless you try it…. thats just mean
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Umm… dumbass… What do u think the purpose of the batteries are? They reverse the polarities of the magnets…
December 7th, 2008 at 8:04 am
OMG you guys had the pance taped on the shoes and you someone was just spinning it! This is strait up retarded.
December 10th, 2008 at 9:33 am
THIS IS BULLSHIT.
Magnets ATTRACT METAL…THEY DON’T REPEL IT.
I’d believe this if he was standing on a superconductor with large metal shoes though.
December 13th, 2008 at 7:21 am
FWAKE!@!!! i tried it, nothing!!!
December 15th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Can someone tell me where you can buy that 50lb lift magnet? They arent at home depot or lowes website
December 17th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
i bet you. UR GONNA GET SHOCKED LIKE A BITCH ONCE U TURN THOSE SHOES on rofl.
December 20th, 2008 at 5:37 am
WOW IT WORKS!!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 5:28 am
can u use nyodeum magnets
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:21 am
probely fake when hes flying hes probly holding on to something lol
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:43 am
step in a puddle with those lol
