Levitating is not only for magicians, but for magnets too. Scientist have been using magnetism to create levitation for years. Recently, they have advanced their technology and expanded their knowledge about magnetism and levitation and conformed them to be used in everyday life. Magnetic levitation can be broken down into so many different topics such as magnetism and levitation, but there is a much deeper meaning to magnetic levitation. A magnet is an object that has a magnetic field. It can attract heavy objects such as iron and steel. A magnet can be in many shapes and sizes. The word magnet came from the elderly Cretan shepherd, Magnes. He supposedly found a rock that had a strong magnetic force. In the rock was large amounts of lodestone. The most common magnet used today is the bar magnet. They can also be used in compasses. …show more content…
Magnetic levitation uses the natural repelling nature of the poles that are of the same kind to control levitation. This can come in many different forms and all made differently. One way is permanent magnets, which is the easiest of all the forms because it does not require any outside material to make the levitation, but it is not very controllable. Magnetism is the main component in the levitation act. Magnetism has been around ever since Earth was created. It is the force that is generated by the motion of electrons within its atoms. Earth spins and has gravity because of magnetism. It is created within the processes inside of earth, the core. Earths core is made of iron and ore that is constantly in a spinning motion which forms a pure magnetic force. Magnetism also creates north and south poles that the earth spins. The magnetism that earth gives off is called earths magnetic
MRI uses the body’s natural magnetic properties to formulate an image of the soft tissues. It does this by using the hydrogen atom nucleus which has a single proton and is a spinning charged particle. The human body is made up of 70% water, which is hydrogen and oxygen. Those hydrogen nuclei (protons) spin inside the body, creating their own magnetic field. They are orientated randomly and cancel each other out when no field is applied.

The first magnets were pieces of lodestone. The Chinese later replaced lodestone with the iron needle, which was much more accurate than lodestone. They had learned that rubbing a steel needle with lodestone made the needle magnetic. By the Song dynasty, the use of the magnetic compass had grown to include the sea voyages.
The current has a positive charge in one side of the coil and it transforms to negative when it gets to the other side of the coil. This charge controls the magnetic field, making the like charges repeal and the opposite charges attract.
Have you ever seen a levitating orb? A real orb just floating in the air. This is not some magic trick, it is science. To make the orb levitate you must first know about electricity and how it works. Static electricity is what causes it to levitate.
William Gilbert studied magnetism in the Elizabethan Era. Gilbert was born in England in 1544 (Rich). According to an article written by A.V. Helden, Gilbert attended Cambridge University in 1558. He got his B.A. in 1561, his M.A. in 1564, and his M.D. in 1569 (Helden). Gilbert made discoveries mainly in magnetism. He published a book called De Magnete, which is all about how magnetism affects the world. One of the topics covered in the book was compasses because they were important for the explorers of that time.
These fortune tellers used load stone to control their fortune cards. When the fortune tellers realized that the load stone was always pointing to the North, the magnetic compass truly came about. During the 800's AD, the load stone was replaced with magnetic needles. The compass begun to be used on ships around 850 AD. This magnetic compass didn't make it to Europe until around 960 AD.
Hypnosis is a very natural state of consciousness in which we are able to completely relax our mind and body, it is not in any way a magic spell that has been put on a person, nor does it hold any mystical powers or is it supernatural in anyway. Hypnosis causes the person hypnotised to display and experience both physical and psychological changes. Relaxation is the key to hypnosis it is also a direct result of being hypnotised.
The origins of hypnosis came from a physician known as Franz Anton Mesmer who some would say related an effective therapy based on the idea that illness, mental or otherwise, was the result of misaligned magnetic forces within someone who is experiencing extreme distress. Mesmer earned his medical degree and had a thriving practice but he also had a passion for science and kept up to date with current developments. He was interested primarily in recent discoveries of electricity and magnesium. He believed that magnesium directly affected humans and that good health was a direct result of aligned internal magnetic forces. He believed that if these forced did not align that a person would be either mental or physically ill or both. Since it was believed that illness was created by the forces opposing each other as a physician and scientist he believed in order to cure illness these forces needed to straighten out within the body. He believed that in order to “cure” his patients who would develop mental health disorders he would prescribe them a heavy dose of iron and then pass magnets over their bodies. His patients would then go into a “crisis state” a type of trance state where his patients
For most of the part hypnosis occurs naturally especially when a person thinks deep about something that he desires. As per the source of Joseph Nicholson there are many ways of hypnotizing a person of which the two most important ways of hypnosis were,
What is magnetism? When two pieces of iron are attracted to each other by physical means or electrical means.
Since the compass was used to determine direction, it ignited the Age of Discovery. It also fueled the Industrial Revolution. The compass was first invented in 206 B.C. by China, by which it was later used for divination and geomancy for centuries. Without the compass, the world would have no understanding of magnetism. Magnetism is used in all kind of technological
Magnetic repulsion works on the principle of using electro magnets to levitate objects. Unlike normal magnets, electro magnets are created by the movement of current through wires. This means that the strength of the magnet can be changed by increasing or decreasing the current in the wire. As well as this, it is possible to change the poles of the magnet. This is important as it allows the magnet to both push and pull depending on the current. Using the idea that north repels north and south repels south, if the ground were to have the same pole as the electric magnet, then the electric magnet would hover. This idea can better be seen in figure 1.
Levitation is a topic that cannot be explained because nobody knows how it works. Nobody knows how levitation works but some theories are that it has to do with a magnetic force of some sort, and there are others who think that there is no such thing as levitation and it's somebody just hung by a string.The most well known way Levitation is know is because it is a famous magic trick that magicians sometimes perform at shows. Another reason it is well known is because it is in movies. One example of this is American magician Harry Kellar performed a trick where his assistant, introduced as a Hindu princess, was brought onto the stage apparently sleeping on a couch. He would then levitate her, passing a hoop back and forth along her body to show that she was not
The first compass was made with lodestone, it a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite. Chinese fortune teller used lodestone to build their fortune
