Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...

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 ...

Magnetic levitation technologies and electrodynamic suspension (EDS) systems represent a transformative advancement in transportation and industrial applications. These systems utilise the principles ...

General Motors is looking to patent a magnetic levitation system that would replace conventional seat adjusters. As described in a patent application filed by GM with the United States Patent and ...

A team of researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Japan have showed off a small piece of “gravity-free” graphite to levitate almost ...

[Jamie] decided to build a generator, and Lego is his medium of choice. Thus was created a fancy levitating generator that turns a stream of air into electricity. The basic concept is simple enough ...

The scientists chemically coated each graphite particle with a layer of electrically insulating silica. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps silica bind to the surface of the graphite. The coated graphite ...
