A new Flickr Favorite by alan_sailer.
For some fine reason, two of my banana high speed photos have been elected to appear on BoingBoing.
After the second one, the guy who asked for them told me to get in touch if I ever found a mag-lev banana.
Thoughts happened….I have an old piece of high temperature superconductor so I started thinking about making a little balsa wood banana and levitating it by sticking it to a magnet. I finally decided that I was too lazy to make a mini-banana and found one on Etsy, disguised as a set of earrings.
The earrings were made by Anastasia Ziemba.
They arrived while I was up on Mount Baldy. When I got home I opened the package and found the earrings were perfect. So today I brought home some liquid nitrogen to experiment with the thing. It works fine.
So here is my shameless pandering to BongBoing.
A Mag-Lev Banana….
Look at it, Cory Doctorow….
Just look at it.
Cheers.
