    Usually there’s some sort of fantastical leap you can do from something reasonable to get to his level of insanity, but I don’t even see that here. Water has never had any effect on magnets, and I don’t know of any conspiracy theory that says it does.

      Pouring water on the electrical components of an electromagnet?

        Maybe that’s what he meant. But he’s talking about a magnetic elevator for an aircraft carrier. I’m pretty sure it’s designed to work while wet.

          Yeah, I was just taking the challenge of trying to rationalize it.

      maybe he saw a gif of cooling magnets with liquid nitrogen to make them seem wet?
