  • I was sent the weirdest thing the other day, a levitating Death Star speaker.

  • With the new Star Wars movie coming out, I feel like now would be a good time to take

  • this thing apart, unbox it, and see what kind of force it uses to levitate.

  • Let's get started.

  • [Intro]

  • And peel off the top, and inside we probably have some kind of instruction books, a little

  • bit of foam padding, and....oh boy...the Death Star, the Bluetooth speaker inside of this

  • set.

  • And I think at the very bottom we have thisthis should be the base.

  • Whoa.

  • Got a little bit of a force there.

  • Here in the center it wants to pull the base off to the side like that.

  • Okay, let's see what happens.

  • I'm not sure what this thing is.

  • Maybe those instructions were important after all.

  • When you feel a strong force, which is holding the Death Star from the base, this

  • position is the levitation point.

  • Release the speaker gently and take out the floating stand vertically without any impact

  • on the Death Star.”

  • Okay, let's try that out.

  • So I'm going to take both hands...trying to find the floating point here in the center.

  • Oh boy.

  • I think I got it, I think I got it.

  • Nice.

  • Woo!

  • Okay, the Death Star is now levitating.

  • Come take a look at this.

  • It is spinning all by itself, and there is nothing below it.

  • That's pretty sweet.

  • List of available devices right here is the Death Star.

  • We'll go ahead and pair with that.

  • The only way to properly start off a Bluetooth Star Wars speaker is with 10 hours of the

  • Cantina Band.

  • [Music playing]

  • That's not bad!

  • I mean, it's a small speaker so it's not going to have the big base of a big speaker, but

  • it's pretty unique.

  • It's not bad at all.

  • [More Star Wars music playing]

  • Alright, alright.

  • It's very unique.

  • It's a small Bluetooth speaker.

  • If you're going to buy this, you're going to buy this because of Star Wars and not because

  • of the impeccable sound quality.

  • As far as like the levitation goes, it's holding itself pretty well in the air above anything.

  • So there's nothing supporting it.

  • It's rocking around a little bit.

  • I'm curious to see where the mounting points are inside this thinglike where the force

  • is that's holding it up.

  • And there's only one way to do that.

  • Let's take it apart.

  • Now destroying the Death Star is actually a pretty big pain.

  • It's almost like it's not designed to come apart.

  • There are no clasps that come undone.

  • Excessive force might be necessary.

  • After analyzing the construction, I have detected a weakness in the battle station, but the

  • approach will not be easy.

  • I will maneuver my saw blade straight down this trench, right between the power button

  • and this antique micro USB port.

  • Since the Death Star existed a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, we can let the micro

  • USB slide for now, but any future Death Stars will need to be equipped with USB-C.

  • These little metal windows can pop out once the plastic surrounding them is cut.

  • You can see how strong the attracting magnetic force is below the Death Star.

  • Finally, I was able to chop through a few support channels which are about the size

  • of a small womp rat.

  • We get a glimpse of the main speaker at this point.

  • It's a small little guy, but it does get the job done.

  • There are a few more screws holding down the speaker to the base.

  • I'll pop those out and continue onto the reactor core.

  • The speaker has 3 connections: one for the charging port, one for the power button, and

  • one for the black and red speaker wires themselves.

  • The circuit board has it's own four screws.

  • I'll take out those.

  • And finally the board and battery can come loose from the super weapon.

  • The battery is about 1,000 milliamp hours.

  • The magical force that supports the Death Star is, well, a magnet.

  • It's big, circular, and very tightly glued to the bottom plastic.

  • Pretty interesting.

  • And now it's time to inspect the Empire's foundation.

  • This large circular platform is protected by a thick rubber mat.

  • I imagine this is to keep the whole thing from moving around.

  • There are 4 screws under that mat holding the base together.

  • There has to be something super important in here to help keep the Death Star stable.

  • The balancing free floating magnets is not an easy task.

  • There are some interesting circuits inside the base with 4 screws holding it all down

  • to the plastic.

  • After removing these, I can lift p the circuits and flip over the whole contraption exposing

  • the electromagnets.

  • Electromagnetic levitation is complex, but essentially provides a balance to the Force.

  • The large exterior circle you see is a magnet, and the 4 circles in the center are the electromagnets

  • usually oriented in the opposite directions because opposite poles attract.

  • The magnet inside the Death Star is attracted to the large circle shaped magnet, which makes

  • it kind of hard to place.

  • But the opposite oriented electromagnets are doing the calculated repelling as needed,

  • turning off or on or adjusting the power to keep the Death Star stable.

  • Remember, this base is plugged into the wall and needs power to keep functioning.

  • Magnets aren't going to float by themselves.

  • Pretty fun stuff, and a major thumbs up to whoever designed this Death Star.

  • I'll leave a link for this contraption in the video description and now you won't need

  • to take apart your speaker to find out how it floats or how it works.

  • Hit that subscribe button if you haven't already.

  • And come hang out with me on Instagram.

  • Thank you a ton for watching, and may the Force be with you.

I was sent the weirdest thing the other day, a levitating Death Star speaker.
