Gadget: Levitating Earth (magnetic field)

[DennisN]

I bought a fun gadget from China. It's a model of Earth levitating in a magnetic field.
I filmed it in operation to share with my friends, but I thought I would share it on PF too .
I bought it online here.

Film clip:
I speak Swedish in the clip, and what I'm saying is this:

"
(Laughter) It is sensitive... it is sensitive.
You do like this... it's difficult to get it into equilibrium.
But it's cool. It's a pity it can't be stabilized... stabilized automatically.
And automatically be put into rotation.
That would have been cool. I mean automatically by the magnetic field.
It ought to be possible to do, I think.
"

Takk.

(that's the only Swedish word I know)

Wow, that is so cool! I've never seen anything like that before. The way it levitates and rotates is mesmerizing. I can see why you wanted to share it with your friends and on PF. It's definitely a unique and fun gadget to have. I might have to check out the website and get one for myself. Thanks for sharing!
