@trederman312 You can find the magnets at most electronic parts dealers who sell individual components. Look for small shops that have electronic junk piled from floor to ceiling, those have been my best finds.
@juperola2 Your base may not be level. Just because the ceramic looks level doesn't mean the magnetic field is level and uniform. If they are dropped or heated, the domains can get out of whack. Whichever side your top is falling to, raise the base from that point.
In short, the base magnet is in toroid shape and the spinning top is a disc. At the proper weight and distance, the two opposing magnetic fields cancel out gravity and will levitate. The top must rotate at less than 2900 rpm and more than 1100 rpm to be stable. I'm glad you enjoy the subject. Cheers!
@H3artBreakZ1 Yes, it is possible. You need to match the field strength (gauss/tesla) of the original permanent magnet. In many cases you will overheat a small coil attempting this. Another method involves using a complex circuit to control the coil while still having a permanent magnet in the center to do most of the lifting.
@TheRelampagoAzul You can find the disc magnet for the top at a craft stores and hobby shops. You can probably find toroid magnets at electronics supply stores. Or carefully remove them from speakers.
@shubham1895 Keep trying, these things are difficult to build. Hope the email helps you out. You may have all the right components but if they are out of line just a little, it wont work. Keep on the lookout in a few weeks too as i am designing a much improved top.
I am soo goi g to try this!

below the yellow .. it is still a magnet ??

@iLOVEmaddiJANE01
Yes, it is another toroid magnet under the top magnet. The yellow is simply a plastic casing.

Hi, I'm trying to build a Levitron but I can not spin the top, it always goes to the sides. What can I do :?

@ActiveStorage As long as the base repels the spinning top, that's all that counts.

Hey, do you know if it is possible to make it with an electromagnet?

@H3artBreakZ1 Yes, it is possible. You need to match the field strength (gauss/tesla) of the original permanent magnet. In many cases you will overheat a small coil attempting this.
