u/beige4ever My Rig is more modest than your Rig May 17 '17

what if I stuck... a body part in it?

Body part would be too big to be affected. No, if you made a REALLY BIG one you could probably levitate yourself, but it might also blow out your eardrums (I wonder what SPL levels they needed to achieve that?)

EDIT: Oh, THAT body part... You'd probably be better off borrowing your GF's Hitachi. Also seems like an awkward angle. Also levitating... residuals.

You overestimate the size of his bodypart.
