Neodymium Magnet vs Copper Sphere: Kiwi Science Fans Witness Gravity-Defying Experiment!

Watch as a neodymium magnet takes on a solid copper sphere in this mesmerizing gravity-defying experiment that’s blowing minds around the world—and right here in New Zealand. Can a super-strong magnet float inside? The answer lies in the fascinating realm of electromagnetic physics, and the result is as visually stunning as it is educational.

This is science made fun for Kiwi learners, educators, tinkerers, and STEM fans of all ages. Whether you’re a physics student in Wellington, a maker in Christchurch, or a teacher bringing experiments to life in your NZ classroom, this hands-on demonstration shows how Lenz’s Law and eddy currents create surprising resistance—causing the magnet to slow down, appear suspended, or even “float.”

As science education and innovation continue to grow in New Zealand—especially through initiatives promoting STEM learning, tech engagement, and creative discovery—experiments like these are a perfect mix of entertainment and insight.

Great for families, classrooms, and curious minds across Aotearoa, this is one magnetic video you won’t want to miss.
