    Rookie mistake, the thing holding the magnet from the back side is also metal so it cancels out

    You need a stronger magnet at the front obviously.

    Or it’s a toy American truck and they’re metric magnets. Swap them for federal units.

    The magnet on the bonnet is pulling the car forwards as much as the magnet hanging on the wire is pulling backwards towards the car, and since they share the same root object (the car) the net motion is zero.

    If either of those magnets were rooted on the ground, the car would move (albeit not very far)

    We used to make these all the time as kids. You need a second pair of magnets in push configuration on the back for this to work.

        With the right electric field you can generate (a small amount of) thrust our of ions in air flowing over a charged plane.

        One of the myth-busters “anti-gravity” devices they tested was actually (very weak) a static electric ion thruster.

        Pretty cool - but it did need electric power input.

            You’re going to need a three-way monopole electromagnet if you ever want to reverse.

    reminds me of the videos of that guy who sits in wheeled bucked ostensibly pushing himself with an umbrella and a leaf blower; guy carries a leaf blower, umbrella and bucket around all the time just to make people look at him. lol
