This incredible Magnetic Levitator science toy is a fascinating near-perpetual motion device that appears to defy gravity.
Its axle floats by repelling magnets and there is only one small friction point where the metal tip touches the glass.
Because of the small friction, the levitator can rotate for a surprising amount of time. Float the levitator above its base for a fascinating show of magnetism.
Strategically positioned magnets resist each other, causing the levitator to defy gravity. Spin it for a strobe effect!
Not only are they gravity defying toys; they’re also incredibly cheap and easy to make!
all you need is two ceramic ring magnets, a few…
brass or rubber washers, electric tape and you’re on your way to building a really cool toy for the family to enjoy!
