A<\/strong>: Yes, sort of! There is a type of magnet called a Bitter Electromagnet, which creates an extremely strong magnetic field. Using it, scientists in Holland have made a frog levitate (fortunately with no ill effects!)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how. Frogs, like us, are made up of billions of atoms. Each of these atoms contains electrons that zoom round a central nucleus. When atoms are in a magnetic field, however, the electrons shift their orbits slightly and that creates a magnetic field inside<\/u> the atom.\u00a0 So when a frog is put in a very strong magnetic field the atoms behave as little magnetic needles pointing in the direction opposite<\/em> to the applied field. The magnetised frog is pushed up from a region of high magnetic field into one of lower field, and it levitates.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing special about frogs. All materials, especially water, are \u2018diamagnetic\u2019 to some extent. Frogs are a convenient example, however, because they have a high water content, which is a good diamagnetic material. \u00a0Since humans, like frogs, are two thirds water it means that it is theoretically possible to levitate a human \u2018diamagnetically\u2019.<\/p>\n

Street entertainers can also appear to levitate, but it\u2019s not science \u2013 it\u2019s a classic trick, called Balducci levitation. By standing at an angle so that their audience can see only one foot and the back heel of the other, the \u2018magician\u2019 can then stand on the tip toes of the hidden foot, lift the visible foot completely off the ground and pretend to be levitating.<\/p>\n

By the way, the electromagnetic force is billions of times stronger than the force of gravity. \u00a0Prove this by holding a fridge magnet near a metal door and letting go. The electromagnetic force from the tiny magnet overwhelms the powerful gravitational attraction of the entire Earth.<\/p>\n
