How to levitate scientifically!

 There are a few ways to actually levitate something using science, (magnetic, electromagnetic,  and acoustic to name a few) but another way, utilizing high voltage, (my favorite!) there is a type of levitation called electrostatic. Jay from plasma channel  I know, I know. We talked about him last post and the voltage multiplier he builds. But Jay has found a YouTube channel full of uses for these high voltages. One of which, is levitation. I suggest you go check out his video on electrostatic levitation, but for now, lets look into it step by step. If you read my post on building a 30,000 volt generator, (which I've now adapted into a 168,000 volt) you may now have built one yourself, and of course as soon as I saw Jay's video on electrostatic levitation, I immediately went to try this for myself. And, of course, got  many 'o nasty shocks along the way. But here's how I achieved levitation...er sorta, I need a better set up to make it hover like Jay does. My attempts would float for a few seconds but do to me not being very steady (and using my hand as the top plate instead of an actual fixed plate) would fall as the field shifted. But here's how I got that far. By electrically charging one plate (or your hand) to a hundred or two thousand volts, and then placing another plate that is charged to the opposite, (If you charged one plate to positive 200,00 volts connect the other to ground or to a negative voltage) and then place a specifically shaped piece of tinfoil in-between them, it will begin to hover! The shape allows the foil to collect charge to propel it to the plate above, but also makes it lose that charge too fast to reach the top and causing it to float in-between the two plates. Again check out Jays channel to have his professional description of what this type of levitation is, and how he achieved it.
