    Can a gyroscope be used to stabilize a levitating globe?

    Spinning magnets? By "support" you mean as a base or the globe?.. Because I think the globe is supposed to be static... I guess we'll stick to the feedback systems, they require some soldering and more calculations but seem to provide more stability. Thank you for the reply!

    Can a gyroscope be used to stabilize a levitating globe?

    Hello, I am a student and this semester I am doing a project in Experimental Physics class. We plan to make a levitating globe! We have already researched on methods of overcoming Earnshaw's theorem and chose two: 1) Using eddy currents to stabilize an object (conductor) More or less...
