With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

When two magnets are placed facing each other with the same poles, they repel each other, and if you place one magnet under the other, it is possible to make one magnet float. However, simply ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

The new levitating rotor works because of its rotational symmetry. Unlike plates that move up and down in varying magnetic fields, the spinning rotor stays within a constant magnetic flux. This ...

Quad-cotter floating in the air by "rotating magnet" rather than "rotating wing" was created. This mechanism"Hyper loop concept" running at 1,200 km / hAlthough it does not fly high, it is also used ...

Magnetic levitation (MagLev) technologies are rapidly evolving, offering transformative methodologies in materials characterisation, precision engineering and process automation. By balancing ...

No matter how its done, with whatever level of fakery, magnetic levitation just looks cool. We don’t know about you, but merely walking past the tackiest gadget shop, the displays of levitating and ...

Hoverboards for humans may still be a pipe dream, but one firm has managed to create one for houseplants. Called LYFE, this device consists of a rotating planter that hovers over an oak base, ...
