A demonstration of the Levitron Omega Anti-Gravity Top.
This device was bought from American Scientific & Surplus for about $30. Shown is the full spinning time of close to 3 minutes, with stuff passed under and around it for fun.

I would like to see some ferrofluid (magnetic fluid) on that :D
-
Yea i saw that ^^ As soon as I have a spinner, I will hopefully be able to spin it more often, so I can adjust the weight and orientaten a bit more - then I will try to use this trick to get it a softer start. Thanks for the support, I will post how well the electric spinner will be doing :)

This is how ufo work:)

I have one. Takes patience to do this.
-
I got one but I can't find the right weight for the top! I mean how manny washers and what sized do you put on
-
@shanumoinu Yes, it all has to do with a magnetic field.
-
Put a bar magnet in there and see if the top stays up!

I just got mine 3,5 hours ago and cant get it to work =_________= Its so very very hard to spin it that i managed to spin it like 30 times but only for like 5 seconds.. then you have to adjust weight and orientation of the platform :/ I bought a levitron starter now, have to ship it from the US to Europe and i just hope it works. You need to be able to take a looot of frustration for this

@DugabE There is definitely a learning curve. That said, if you can get it to spin for a few seconds, then you are very close.
Notice how I let the clear plastic piece "bump" the top as it rises up. This is important since it removes some of the oscillation there would normally be, and which can destabilize it.
Other than that, make sure you are adjusting with the smallest weights. To get a long run you have to get it as close as possible.

how should i put the weights i have a super levitron and it just wont work

The trick to the weights is gradual adjustment. Learn how to add or subtract 0.1 grams at a time, which is the minimum amount. Once you learn that, it's pretty simple--just add weight if the top flies up and to the side, or subtract weight if it falls back to the base.
One thing to note is that you'll probably have to adjust the weights each time you use it. A small temperature difference can change the necessary weight by a few tenths of a gram.

You have to add weight? I'm thinking of buying one and I'm interested in learning more about it before I do.

The device comes with all the weights you need to get it running. They are small disks that you place on top of the spinner. They come in different sizes, from 3 down to 0.1 grams. It's not hard to find the right combination of weights as long as you're somewhat diligent about it.
