Magnetic Levitation in the News

Magnetic Levitation Using An Induction Cooktop
Adding another item on the list of things you probably shouldn’t be trying at home, we got [Brainiac75] giving magnetic levitation a shot using an unmodified induction cooktop and aluminium foil. continued..
Aligned graphite particles unlock stable levitation above magnets, study finds
A diamagnetic substance is slightly repelled by magnetic fields. With a strong enough magnet, the diamagnetic force can override gravity, and the substance will float in the air. Graphite, the main ... continued..
Building A Levitating Turbine Desk Toy
Magnetic levitation is a beautiful thing to watch. Seeing small objects wobble about while seemingly hovering in thin air never gets old. If you want something suitably distracting in this vein for ... continued..
How magnetic levitation lifts and propels high-speed maglev trains
Discover how magnetic levitation technology powers high-speed maglev trains, enabling frictionless travel and impressive speeds over 400 km/hr. continued..
Perfect Coordination: Magnetic Levitation Provides Six Degrees of Freedom in Product Handling
What do you get when you add hardware and software to the principles of magnetic levitation? The likely answer from Jeff Johnson, mechatronics product manager at Beckhoff Automation, U.S., would be: ... continued..
Graphite platform levitates without power
Magnetic levitation is used to float everything from lightbulbs to trains, with varying levels of success, but usually it requires a power source. Now, scientists in Japan have developed a way to make ... continued..
