[Andrey Mikhalchuk] built his own magnetic levitation device and you can too… if you have the patience. He’s not using electromagnets, like the Arduino levitator or the floating globe. Instead, a pair ...

A group has created a levitating quadcopter consisting of 4 motors and 4 spinning magnetic arrays. By spinning the magnets over a copper sheet, the 105-lb quadcopter levitates. The magnetic levitation ...

Yes, everyone loves springs. But a mass hanging vertically on a spring is a great example of stable equilibrium. Why does this produce stable equilibrium? Let's start with a diagram of a mass hanging ...

A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European ...

A team of scientists in France has shown that it is possible to control a paramagnetic liquid drop using a magnetic field at room temperature. Using a drop of liquid oxygen, they show that the drop’s ...

In a new study out of Japan, researchers have demonstrated the ability to use a laser to control the motion of a magnetically levitating graphite disk. Laser moves graphite disk in the direction of ...
