How do you make solid objects appear to float in air without the use of magnets?

Answer 1

If you fly an airplane to a sufficient high altitude and then shut off all the engines and allow it to fall toward the ground, everyone and eveything inside the airplane would appear to float in the air (like astronauts in spaceships). This is call "freefall".

BTW, this is how they train shuttle astronauts for their mission in space, by simulating freefall in a modified Being 747.

Answer 2

The answer to the question can solid things float the definite answer is yes. The more important question is how do you want your solid object to float. Think of a helicopter it is a solid object yet with the power of its spinning blades it can appear to float in the air. However if you want something to float completely unassisted the answer is still a resounding yes. I remember quite a few years ago NASA invented a compound that was solid but was actually lighter then air and as a result it floated

Answer 3

A stream of air will do. Or a thin wire or elastic or. . .

Answer 4

Holograms, except that then those wouldn't be solid... you could use air pressure.

Answer 5

If u don't use a magnet or electromagnet use a Helium Baloon.

Answer 6

Use solid object that is ligter then air...

Answer 7

I Do not know.

but i want to know,
so i will read all your answers and i do hope you learn how to do that, that sounds llike fun,,

i wanna do it to,,

Answer 8
