tjmagneto Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I came across this article and now we have levitating mice thanks to superconducting magnets. I'm afraid to hear how powerful the magnet was used to levitate the mice but I'd give it a go when they perfect it for people.

Andrewr05 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I'm willing to bet that the magnet was insanely powerful, levitating the water content of a being is amazing! It actually kicked around and started to spin, and without friction, it could spin faster and faster, and we think that made it even more disoriented. I think they better go run some tests on that, I'm not sure they know what they're talking about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 And for what reason do I need to levitate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackninja543 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 After reading the article I'm thinking the article may have been translated(poorly), or someone took the real article or findings and make it there own. Some of the grammar in it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I may not have the worlds best English, but something doesn't sounds right. I know they have been doing these experiments for awhile, on a variety of different organic and inorganic material. I'm surprised they managed to get a mammal to float since its water content compared to a frogs is somewhat less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieg1337 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Sometimes I wonder why we have scientists. Who cares if a really powerful magnet can make a mouse float? Stop wasting your time with useless . like that and go find a cure for cancer or something <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackninja543 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 But finding a cure of cancer might cause in unstoppable plague of zombies..... god havent you seen the movies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 And for what reason do I need to levitate? Because it's cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchrissypoox Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 And for what reason do I need to levitate? Because ladders are dangerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Because ladders are dangerous. What about giant superconducting magnets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flareback Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 And for what reason do I need to levitate? because then maybe we can finally have flying cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they better go run some tests on that, I'm not sure they know what they're talking about... I'd like to know how strong that magnet is as well. I know of some research MRI machines that made people see stars and became disoriented at high field strengths (7 Tesla+ or about 2-3 times stronger than those in hospitals and such).

tjmagneto Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) What about giant superconducting magnets? Just look at my avitar. Seriously, there have been accidents involving MRI machines, including one fatality that I'm aware of.
