This road makes cars roll uphill - here's why

Mike and the team travelled to the Isle of Man to seek out one of the strangest roads in the world! Known as 'Magnetic Hill', this trip of Tarmac has baffled tourists and locals for decades. Is there some genuine physics-bending trickery going on?!

Finnaly a hill I can cycle up without feeling tired 😂

[aerogfs]

The road identities itself as an Australian road, hence upside down behavior

Heh, there is a Magnetic Hill here in Canada too, in New Brunswick. This was a very entertaining and interesting video. GRIN!

Had this "issue" in the austrian mountains. It appeared we where driving downhill, but the fully packed toyota ago only went slower and slower. To the point i set the car next to the highway thibking it was broken. It was the moment we exited the car we relealised it was actually an uphill climb 😅 indeed the mountains around is made us unable to see the horizon.

3:04 I like how Mike adjusts the camera, forgetting the two people stood behind the camera can be seen in the reflection on the car

This was silly and I loved every minute of it! Gotta stop and have fun, and also look for aliens, perhaps, once in a while.

Electric Brae in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Been on it loads of times. Baffles the mind!

[mattgardiner]

One of these in Canada too, magnet hill out in New Brunswick

There's a 'Magnetic Hill' also in Victoria, Australia. Quite fascinating.

[FuManchultr]

There is a hill like that here in Perth, Western Australia

[franzb]

there's a road in my country that does this same exact thing and it also has tons of weird supernatural stuff going on other than cars rolling back up the hill. it has ghosts and other phenomena too.

There’s a similar bit on the M3, between london and Basingstoke that has a similar effect. I remember driving on it, looking at my MPG and being baffled that it was going down, despite thinking I was going down hill.

[nosrin]

man, y'all kept drive tribe, do this on drive tribe and do more food stuff.

[insidemordecai]

There is one here in Kenya too, in Machakos and just as strange as Mike has portrayed in this video

[dynamitecity]

There's one in Scotland called the electric brae, not far from Culzean Castle too.

[jollyfish]

There's a Magnetic Hill near Orroroo in South Australia too.

[williebauld]

Is there not a hill in Ayrshire that the same phenomenon happens to?

[WalterBurton]

We've got a bunch of these in the US. Usually with a tacky gift shop next to it.

There are "magnetic hills" all over the place. It usually just needs the right bit of topography and an obscured horizon. Take a level with you and the illusion is obviously dispelled.
