      If I understand it correctly, he made a tin foil structure, put the mouse in the middle, and levitated the structure using high voltage. There are videos, but are in Real Video format, that I haven’t seen in ages (and I don’t know if they can be easily converted). Edit: Here’s our little hero, in potato quality: https://s27.aconvert.com/convert/p3r68-cdx67/l7vc7-a03ze.mp4

      A ionocraft is a thing that has high voltage run through it in such a way that it ionizes the air around it, those ions then zoom to a collector and that movement generates a tiniest bit of lift, but the craft is very light so that’s enough to make it float. That person made a big one for the mouse to take a ride on a little basket like a balloon.
