Levitation Definition and 111 Threads

Hello All, I stumbled across this video: http://shizzville.com/make-your-own-levitation-device In which someone claims to make a fully functional levitation device. I tried it with a slightly newer phone and, (as expected) I couldn't replicate it. Although this is probably a fake...

hi, i want to start some "researches" about electromagnetic levitation,and well i came here to ask if anyone could help me...anything...books,links... thnk u

levitation of objects by a magnetic field ? how is it done? does this happen when opposite (charged) field come in contact? i'hve not understood it properly so pls xplain.

Hey, think this post belongs in this section. I've seen a few videos about superconducting levitation and it is used on trains, correct? I was wondering if it is possible to levitate an object like a car and propel it forward? Heres a clip, please don't delete :) watch it please :D...

Levitation is a well documented phenomenon, in fact ancient yogic texts (Hatha Yoga pradipka, yoga sutras, etc) as well as modern ones (Science of pranayama by HH Sri Swami Sivananda) claim it to be a siddhi (psychic power) which one can acquire. Even the christian faith has had its own...

I was watching a video on youtube which showed how superconductors worked in magnetic levitation, and something struck me, the effect of magnetic levitation and suspension, where the magnet is both attracting and repelling at the same time thus keeping the superconductor at the same distance...

For an experiment I need to achieve a stable axis of permanent levitation. Due to how magnets function I can't exactly go about this a simple way and my best bet is to probably go with a sort of eletromagnetism. I was thinking about buying one of those $80 floating globes, taking it appart and...

How would plasmagnetic levitation be used to levitate an object? If someone would be able to direct me to wear I could find some information ,or knows any thing about the subject.That would be awsome!

Spinning at their respective maximum velocities, approximately how much more energy will an ideal composite flywheel (magnetically levitated in a vaccum) be able to store than an ideal ball bearing steel alloy flywheel of the same size and shape? Thanks.

Hi there, I need to build a Maglev= (Magnetic levitation) train for a science project. I already build a track with coils and permanent magnets, but unfortunately my teacher doesn't know which computer program is suitable to switch the current whenever it's needed along with the north and...

I have heard that non-cohesive surface contact is such that any given "object1" is floating on "object2" in the sense that there is a separation, however small, due to electron repulsion. When I pick up my coffee cup, under this theory, my fingers never actually touch the cup, rather interact...
