A split ring, which does not form a complete circuit, remains stationary.
A ring that is placed on the iron bar with the coil already energized will be suspended part way down the bar.
| Ring fired into the air | Video. | Still. |
| A split ring, same procedure | Video. | Still. |
| A Coke can hovers. Since it is not as thick as the ring, the current is smaller. It can hover, but it does not fly high in the air. | Video. | Still. |
| A Pepsi can sits still. When the instructor turns the Pepsi can around, you can see that it has been cut and taped. The voltage is still induced, but without a complete circuit (a complete can), there is no current. | Video. | Still. |
