How to Build Hover Shoes
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!Disclaimer: As with this experiment and all other HouseHold Hacker videos. We cannot be held responsible for damage or mistakes made if attempting the experiments. These projects are for demonstration purposes only and should not be attempted at home.

Wouldn’tt that create an electro-magnet and only increase the attraction to the floor?
fony boooo boooo boooooo no okay ok
i put these same magnets on my dads car tires now he flys to work now lol!!!
7,165 people believe he hung himself when he started hovering….
It doesnt work!
Press 8 for a… surprise.
This really works!!!
One tip though if you want to turn right pull your right ear lobe
and visa versa, to go forward I find if you touch your nose with
your thumb you can get up some speed.
Going to work has never been so much fun.
@DeLTaIPredatorZ i just watched the vid for the first time -.-
it went out as a suggestion on hovercrafts..peace
@ryan0ff Excuse me?
@VitaminD16 Come again????
guys it would work with way bigger magnets this is dumb
@skillzthatkillz117 It can’t hover
either this is a really big scam or frikin genius
@GorancicAdi Have you just realised xD
the hovering probably supports the shoes but not a person
it is faake =)
Has anyone tried this that can confirm whether or not it works?
@ryan0ff You guys are missing the big picture. It doesn’t matter about the magnet. It’s all about the floor. You can not, repeat, NOT get a magnet to REPELL any metallic object unless the metal is magnetized; and no, putting a magnetic on it doesn’t magnetize it, it only lines up the rotation. Again, unless the floor becomes an electromagnet, nothing will hapen accept the person sticking to the floor. It works the same way as the maglift trains do.
@VitaminD16 the battery reversed the attraction of the magnets so they would push you into the air instead of getting you stuck on the metal beams
@TheTechman34 That’s the weird thing it’s self. Hooking a battery to a magnet doesn’t really do anything I didn’t think? And reversing the polarity wouldn’t matter. Unless the batter hook up was on the floor( Turning the floor into an electromagnet) The batter really has no reason even being on the shoe.
who ever thinks this is fake is kinda right but kinda wrong becuse doesnt the battery revers the attraction of the magnets
@VitaminD16 wait but doesnt the battery reverse that ?
@BlockShady Well, either side of the magnet will attract a magnetic, but not magnetized, substance. However, and my electricity and magnetism knowledge is a bit rusty so don’t persecute me, I think an electrically-charged magnet can be made to repel regardless of the polarity. If I’m right, this would be a badass thing to have.
7,160 people didn’t notice the date on the video… thumbs up if you agree.
@BlockShady But the metal beams in your garage floor or any where isn’t a magnet, there for no poles are there(Duh) Even if you magnetize them by sticking a magnet to it, it’s going to attract. Even if it is lined up in polarity, your going to have it be in the same fasion as your magnet, which means your magnet will not repell off the metal. This can not work unless you turn the floor into an electromagent. Don’t take me as an idiot.
