  • 0:26 so thats how god gave up earthquakes

  • Yeah, it looks pretty cool, but it Does cost a lot of money :$

  • Does the magnet fall down like in the cheaper versions of the Levitrons or are The "World stage" and "Revolution" models more expensive because the magnet doesnt fall down?

  • wow that was shit...

  • i want one of those but it costs too much money

  • I just got one for my son and he took it out of the box and it worked right away, but after that, we all can't seem to make the globe float.

  • You need to use both hands, centre it right above the dot, and lift it up slowely. You can either start close to the base and lift up OR above the base and move down. But you should feel a "sweet spot" in the centre where it feels almost like it's pushing and pulling at the same time. That's where it will float.

    Mine broke after having it for a little over a year though:( I don't know what happened. I think the power went out too many times and it was too hard on the unit and batteries.

  • I hope that helps tho and that you can get it to work. An other reason it may not work is with too many failed attempts the unit will overheat and go into a "stand by mode". That means you need to let it rest for about half an hour. Also the base needs to be level. So you might have to fold up some paper and wedge it under one side of the base and hope it levels out. It can be a pain sometimes, but once it's floating it should stay like that forever.

  • @U2fan24 I also found out that it will shut down due to overheating: I had it running for a few hours and it shut down as the base had become noticably warm. I guess this is because the large permanent magnets inside are fairly sensitive to temperature changes, as shown by the original spinning top -type Levitron.

  • Mr. porfa

    vor me explains that as hiso levitron and iso for q as the world afloat put something in or on the side

  • coooooooooooooool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm seeling a similar globe for pretty darn cheap on ebay if anyone's interested. Just type in "levitron globe".

  • magnetic

  • Put some ants on this globe and they will walk to their death.. lol

  • That would be interesting to do! xD

  • I think the globe also has magnetic

    similar physics with the Floating Ideas

    u should check Innovatoys website, they have the instruction and explanation

  • hey man I'm unable to find the patent.

    Can you disassemble and see how it works?

    Can you pls explain.

    thx

  • I found the patent on Google Patent Search. In advanced search, type in "Title": "Levitation device". You're looking for the one filed on 2 Nov 2006 by Gohin et al. Application No. 11/592464, Pub. No. US 2007/0170798A1 .

    Enjoy.

  • I think it's amazing! I have a product from Levitron as well. See my video response for more info.

  • hi,

    I love your video, and I enthusiastic the magnetic area too. I also bought a magnetic globe, same kind of like you, but unfortunately it is died. I would like to ask, your globe is still float, or just my one has a defective? I would be gratefull, if you send me a short reply.

    Best wishes,

    Szvet

  • This is really cool, I got one for $80 from MyVirtualZoneDOTcom

  • oh yea? is it a globe or something else that floats?

  • they should have made it more realistic and givin it a tilted axis

  • cool
