YouTuber NightHawkInLight got his hands on some thick copper plates and some neodymium magnets, then showed some of the strange ways the two materials interact.
Much like the Hendo Hoverboard that had about a week of buzz a few years ago, this experiment uses Lenz’s Law and Faraday’s Law of Induction to generate electricity and magnetic force fields in copper.
Here’s another great one using aluminum:
