that's awesome! :D

I loved the track course, looks amazing!

And the inventor's fingers are quite immune to cold! :DL

At first I was, "Big deal, mag-lev has been around for decades."

Then he tilted it and it stayed that way.

And then I was, "Huh, wha?"

Very cool. :up:

No dry ice pun intended.

I don't know, looks a bit too good to be true :hmmm:

But think of the posibilities :DL

Fake! All done with mirrors!

Wait...whut?




That is pretty amazing. I can't wait to hear more about it.

Something weird here

When the disk is on the horizontal ring and is moving around, he stops it twice with his finger 1:18 and at 1:24.

But at 1:31 it stops again but then he moves his finger to the disk after it is stopped. It appears that the disk stops abruptly by itself where as before he stopped it with his finger.

What makes the disk stop at 1:31?

You did not see the stop sign? :cool:


Actually, you ask a very good question.

It's not new, it's just easier to demonstrate now.
