Once you have completed this project you won't believe your eyes that it is actually working. A top can not only spin, but also hang in the air for a few minutes balancing a few inches above surface. This DIY project explains how to implement and tune a spin-stabilized magnetic levitation. You will find out how to make "Levitron Top" yourself.

This is the first video demonstrating different approaches to levitation.
