Question
Under what circumstances could you levitate a bit of paper or a crumb and raise it to be almost stable above the surface?
Small pieces of cookie crumbs could float above the surface until the comb moved. |
||
There was no stable example. The materials either rested on the surface or they flew up and accelerated. |
||
Everything I tried floated and did not reach the comb, but would rise above the surface. |
||
Larger pieces of paper could float above the surface. |
