How to Build Hover Shoes

HouseholdHacker asked:


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!

    iStack245 is right, but the only problem is that you have to stay in the right area to continue hovering.

  5. becoolman79 says:

    ahhh its doll of course look at the foot there all like tact ins and its legs are weird

  6. WatchThis1313 says:

    not if the back magnet had more charge since it was closer to the battery… giving more lift on the heel and causing foot position. but i still think its fake

    @Randomman559. HE IS SO RIGHT!

  8. leachinfla says:

    get more magnets or bigger magnets
    they are only 200lbs total

  9. fallenangelb23 says:

    I want to do that, so i could just hover to my friends houz!!!

  10. iStack245 says:

    50 lbs magnets dude 50×4=200

    They can support up to 200 lbs of pressure.

    Size don’t matter, its how charged the magnets are, and thats what the battery is for.

  11. ccp654 says:

    maybe it’s because you’re not located precisely over the metal beams.

  12. ccp654 says:

    yeah i think so, maybe it’s because the magnets he said that you need are 50 pound magnets. Four of those only equal 200 pounds. So maybe that’s the problem. Either you buy even more expensive magnets that can equal your weight or you let somebody else try it. Try doing that. Maybe that’s the problem.
    Hope I helped. :-D

    hello, i got all the supplies including 4 expensive 50 pound magnets, and followed all the directions, but when i called all my friend and family over to see it, i turned them on and nothing happened . what am i missing? and does it matter that i weigh 380 pounds ?

    At the end it looks like something is lifting him and he aint flying

  15. rysnyper50002 says:

    Yeah, like everyone has two pairs of 50 lb lift electromagnets in their garage. WHERE THE HELL DO THEY SELL THOSE?

  16. Randomman559 says:

    umm i dont think his is real. there is 1 thing magerly rong with this… your feet wouldn’t be in that position (as i would think) they would be parralel or close to it.

  17. Tyler7tjt says:

    It’s obviously fake… If you have any common sense you would know that your weight would be unbalanced compared to the magnets that are holding you. And oh yeah… Look at the size of the magnets and look at how big you are, that size of magnet would never hold you up.

  18. piggythepug91 says:

    where the hell do i get all that crap.

  19. Jinclops says:

    THATS BULLSHIT!
