Is it possoble to hover if you put two repeling magnests one in ur shoes and other on floor?

Question

one magnet for example the positive side is attatched to the bottom of your shoes, and the negative is on the floor.

Answer 1

Yes. It is pretty much how super fast trains or how Walt Disney World's monorail operate, repulsion between similar polarities in the rail and in the train. In this case it would be in your shoes an on the floor.

Answer 2

Then you would be stuck to the floor. (opposites attract). But to answer your question, If the magnets were strong enough and you had a wonderful sense of balance, you should be able to do it. Powerful magnets are used to make entire trains hover, and go pretty damn fast (no friction). But to get repulsion the magnetic fields would have to be the same (positive-positive or negative-negative).

Answer 3

Yes you could. But the magnets would have to be very strong.


That is the basic principle behind the speed trains in China and Japan. The magnets keep the train from actually touching the rails. This reduces friction. Thus allowing the train to go faster.

If only someone would apply this principle to cars... WE could fly!

Answer 4

Sure is possible. It would take a while to learn how.

They already have magnetic levitation trains.
It cuts down on the resistance of the track.

Answer 5

you would want the positive on your shoes and the floor, if they are opposite ends they will attract each other and your shoes will be stuck there forever.

yes it's possiable if the magnets are strong enough.

Answer 6

Yes it is possible, BUT it would be expensive and impossible to balance let alone walk with, so my answer is no.

Answer 7

It's conceivable, but you best have some really good balance.
