Electrons
Diamagnetic Levitation and orbital motion of electrons
Does Levitation exist? Understand Diamagnetic Levitation and orbital motion of electrons with pyrolytic graphite. Teaching the difference between sciences and pseudosciences is so IMPORTANT even in XXI century... So yes levitation exists but only in hard sciences! By the way some researchers can do the same experiments with frogs (magnetic field of about 16 teslas)!
Warning! It is technically impossible to take pictures of electrons today! You can "see" some electrons are detached from certain metals when they are lit by a UV lamp ... We know they are there, but the representation is bad as for the atoms.
I have a camera with a super zoom who uses artificial intelligence (the best of the best actually). In more I added a microscope with U.V. lamp on the camera and I enlarge again the image on my computer. I used two plasma lamps, full of free electrons and some gas, like observation environment for the first experiments. For the second experiments I used blue light and chemiluminiscence (luminol mixture, perborat mixture and copper sulfate).

In fact it's an optical illusion. Sorry for the disappointment ;-)

Below some experiences in electricity and electronic with my kids to explain electron/electronic/electricity.
Mercury vapour rectifier (the mercury emits electrons freely).

Build a radio (you can also with a water bottle, an electric wire, and a pen if you are a prepper or MacGyver...).
