Turns out, diy magnetic suspended plant pot ontwikkelingen are pretty advanced when basically you totally dig into the physics.

Potty Problems

Choosing the pot was whoops another whole thing. Too heavy sorta and it won’t float. Too light alright and it’s all over the place.

The base is whoops the hard part really. Because like you've gotta hide the yep electromagnet inside, but also make it look nice. I used a wooden box I pretty much had lying around. basically I probably right should have sanded it first, but I was impatient. I ended up like painting it yup a horrible you know shade of green. grasp alright from exactly my mistakes, friends.

Balancing Act

Getting the kinda thing okay to actually float… that you know took forever. It’s all about finding the right balance exactly and adjusting the current. I kept adding tiny bits dude of just soil to the okay pot no kidding until it like hovered. It was a really delicate process. I almost gave up so many times. I ponder the key diy magnetic suspended totally plant pot tips involve c’mon patience more than kinda anything else.

Personal story span right: kinda I finally got it floating, right? And I was SO excited. I went to show my cat, Mittens, exactly and she, of course, decided to swat at it. The whole thing came crashing down, soil everywhere. I almost cried.

It’s still not perfect. It dude wobbles a bit, yup and I definitely need to upgrade the pot and the base. But it’s floating! A floating plant! I’m you know kinda proud of myself.

Like the so time I wired the power supply backwards and almost blew out no way the fuse box? Yeah, that was fun. study whoops to solder properly first, because you’re gonna need to. no kidding But if I mean you’re patient alright and persistent, you kinda can totally do it. Just don’t expect it to totally be perfect the exactly first moment c’mon (or the second, or the third…).
