Electricity Defying Gravity

Hi, this is a little long.
I was watching a TV program about UFO's as there was nothing else on TV, it
was very comical and amusing but then there was a 30 second clip of some guy
that explained something and then showed an experiment. It got my attention
and curiosity, would like to know if anyone has any information about what
is described below and if its true or not, as they say you cant believe
everything you see on TV.

The guy showed a device which was simply a circular coil of wire wraped
around about 240 times at a diameter of 4 inches, it had no core, just taped
into a circle. It was not insulated either, not sure what gage wire it was,
anyway, the two ends of the coil was attached to a US style mains plug, the
guy plugged this into a US mains outlet which I believe is 110V 60HZ AC, and
the coil of wire levitated in the air, there was no metal core or anything,
it was not electromagnetism holding the coil in the air, but it just floats
in the air! Now the only thing I would expect the coil to do would be to
generate a load of heat and a magnetic field. Is this for real? Any idea
what is going on?

I did not want to try this, for a number of reasons, one I have 240V supply,
two my fuse box would most likely trip soon as the device is plugged in.

I did try google for information on this and came up with nothing like it.

Thanks.

It looks to me that there was some metal in the coil and it was pushed

up by magnetism.
Where do you live with 240VAC??? I think it should be 230VAC +/-10%,
for now I don't know a country with 240VAC.

The United Kingdom, we have 240V 50HZ AC here.
Well all appliances are listed over here as 240V AC...

230 +/-10% is 207-253 240+/- 5% is within that range.

230 +/- 10% is just a way to group all the 220s and 240s together.

Nope im sure its 240, all apliances have 240V AC on them, apart from some
computer equipment that has 230V and seems to work on though. But all
building sites in this country step 240 down to 110. Due to the fact that
your less likely to do serious harm with 110. And i have had a few shocks of
240 before, and if realy hurts, makes you arms feel like gelly, and they
move uncontrolably. never had a 110 shock though but I would assume its a
lot less painfull. Cheap computer equipment use to have 240V switches on the
power for supply, and came with small ruber pushon insulators for the
connectors, and they came off very easy, so thats how I managed to
electricute me self, now they have low voltage switches and all the high
voltage is contained in the PSU. It does make you a little more carefull
once you have had a shock from 240, its not something you forget easy. I
hear it can kill you, I must be lucky.

So everyone agree this floating coil of wire sounds like bull shit then?

Thanks.

Australia also uses 240VAC 50Hz.

It is likely magnetic levitation. There was probably someting hidden, such
as another coil.
Not good for lifting any appreciable distance.
The only other alternative is scam or illusion.

Quite a few years ago one of the Oz electronic mags described a project that
sounds similar to what you describe - it wouldn't ahve run directly off the
mains though.

Unfortunately I can't remember all the details - but I think it was some sort
of coil in a form like the thing you throw quoits onto, and it would suspend a
ring of aluminium in the air - "defying gravity". If you applied a pulse to
the coil it would shoot the ring vertically into the air as I recall.

Possibly Electronics Australia, R,TV&Hobbies perhaps.
